EAT강촌쌈밥
Korean
Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.
Jongno-gu is the historic heart of Seoul, containing Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Insadong's antique street. The area balances ancient and modern — traditional Korean restaurants, teahouses, and street food vendors operate alongside contemporary galleries and specialty coffee shops. Eating here feels like a connection to centuries of Seoul food culture.
* Roasted Pork (14,000 won) * Spicy Oden Soup (10,000 won) This place is really famous for its roasted pork, right? And the other menu items, which taste great with alcohol, show the expertise of long-standing operations. There aren't many other restaurants nearby, so I only visit this one occasionally, but it's definitely worth it. The taste of a long-established restaurant exudes warmth! The kimchi served with the roasted pork is delicious. Ordering a bowl of rice with it is a treat. The seasoning is just right, not too spicy, and there's a reason it's a favorite. If you ask for the spicy oden soup, it's refreshing and delicious. The portion is generous, making the 10,000 won price seem insignificant. The assorted porridge was also quite tasty, according to someone at the table next to me. For a detailed review, search the blog: wankki Instagram ID: @wankki__
