#Jegi-dong #Gyeongdong Restaurant
"Another hidden gem hidden behind Andong House"
If you were to pick the most popular restaurant in Gyeongdong Market, it would probably be Andong House, run by chef Imokase.
But you might not know that right next door is another restaurant that rivals Andong House.
Gyeongdong Restaurant is that restaurant.
Owned by a seemingly kind mother, it's quieter than Andong House, but the food is quite delicious.
Bibimbap, soup, and kalguksu are the main dishes, while side dishes include beef head, boiled pork head, steamed skate, skate soup, and cabbage pancakes.
Like a market restaurant, there's seating around the open kitchen, but the restaurant's size and popularity warrant a separate dining area for guests.
I heard rumors about the excellent pig's head soup and ordered it.
#Dwaejimeorigukbap
There are a couple of large cauldrons in the kitchen. Perhaps one for pork and the other for beef head?
When you order, they immediately boil and serve the soup in a clay pot.
They serve the simmering pot, and they even considerately insert a cold spoon to keep it from overflowing.
Without any seasoning or seasoning, you can savor the simple essence of pork broth.
The generous portions of pork head meat and perilla seeds, which add a soul-food touch, are also savory.
Seasoning with salt and shrimp paste enhances the umami and saltiness of the broth.
It's a wonderful purity of natural umami, without any artificial flavors.
The meat is generously sized, filling, and tender, making it perfect for any dish.
#Side Dishes
The kimchi is truly delicious.
The fresh ingredients from Gyeongdong Market, including the geotjeori kimchi and kkakdugi (sliced radish kimchi), bring a touch of Seoul to the table.
The cabbage wraps, which you can take as much as you want, are another highlight of this restaurant. You can replenish your nutrients with ssamjang.
#Hygiene
It's so clean.
Look at the condition of the kimchi pancakes in the refrigerator.
This place is a hidden gem.
Looking at the piles of vegetables piled up since Sunday morning, I can't help but feel the urge to whip up a bowl of bibimbap.
While some of the menu overlaps with the Andong restaurant next door, this place has its own unique menu, setting it apart.
