Curry and Chips in Changwon

Last weekend we headed down to 창원 (Changwon) for our latest leg of the tour. It's a relatively new city (according to wikipedia "reestablished" in 1974), so we couldn't find any one Korean dish that represented the city. However, Changwon does have other delights on offer...

First up Maya, an Indian and Nepalese restaurant that delivers a decent curry at a reasonable price.

I went for the lamb curry at 9,500 won with plain naan for 2,500.



Overall not a bad curry for the price, but be prepared to wait quite a while for your food. They have reasonably priced thali sets that offer a little of everything and their jeera rice is also very tasty...

You can find them here: 경상남도 창원시 용호동 73-48 미미상가 301호 or call them on 055 264 1378.

Next up a visit to the "first Irish owned bar in Korea", O'Briens...

Our main reason for coming here was to sample their fish and chips. 10,000 won gets you a plate of what I can only describe as authentic pub food. It's greasy, but it's great for soaking up the beer. The servers couldn't actually name the fish that had been fried for us, but the batter was gorgeously crispy and the chips weren't too bad. The pool of oil on the plate was a little perturbing, but easily soaked up by a few napkins.



O'Briens seems like a friendly place to hang out if you're looking for a pint of guinness, you can visit them here: 창원시 중앙동 98-3 전원상가 303호 or call them on 055 286 6547.

Disclaimer: Photos from Maya were taken in January this year. The ones I took last week were just not very good as I only had my tiny camera with me...
