Near Myongji University. I went to Mom's Hand Tteokbokki, but it was closed, so I went back. The owner and staff are friendly, and the tteokbokki is delicious. However, I was a little disappointed with the fried food.
-Lee Jeong-hee Tteokbokki -341-1 Namgajwa-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul -Tteokbokki was a bit dry -The excessive amount of red pepper powder and sugar made it feel heavy -The typical fish cake soup without a single green onion... -Basic chewy noodles that reminded me of the old days -The food was delicious -Tteokbokki 4,000 won, chewy noodles 8,000 won #Lee Jeong-hee Tteokbokki #Seodaemun-gu Tteokbokki #GwanoCWiseGourmetLife
