You'll need to be prepared to spend a fair amount of money for your dumpling treats, so bring cash and an empty stomach. Here's a selection of Mong Jung Heon's finest:

Moving onto 선하부피권 (Deep Fried Shrimp, Pork and Vegetable Rolls) Wrapped in tofu skins, these rolls are both crispy and soft, a paradoxical dumpling that brings pleasure to your tastebuds. 8,000 won.

And finally, the holy grail of dimsum (at least for me), XO장의 소포 (BBQ Pork Bun). I know them as Char Siu Buns and these sweet and fluffy porky treats are my favourite finish to a dimsum lunch. 7,000 won.

Mong Jung Heon is located in Bukcheon-dong (behind Anguk Station). Robert Koehler over at the Seoul Selection website gives the best directions, so I'll leave it to him to fill you in...
Now, if only I could find somewhere that serves Cheung Fun, I'd be a happy man.
