What if you enjoy yourself to the full tour here, it’s the time to eat delicious and special foods~! Let’s fall in the world of spicy and sweet tastes that can enjoy only in Korea.
1. Gyedong-gil, jjim & jok
Jjim & jok is short for jjimdak(braised spicy chicken with vegetables) and jokbal(pig’s feet). This is a small restaurant that sells just these two dishes. Jjimdak is more popular between both ones. Cheese jjimdak is topped with cheese on chicken seasoned with hot pepper pastes. This is women’s favorite dish. Some noodles which seem to be like spaghetti inside this food appeal to the eyes.
Once you start eating cheese jjimdak, it’s so hard to stay off its seasoning. If you feel there is something missing even after enjoying it, let’s order Nurungji albap(crust of overcooked rice with fish roe) together and mix with jjimdak. Now, enjoy this unique meal!
