I go to Miro Sikdang in Hongdae so often that I’ve fallen into a bit of a rut… but what needs posting still needs posting.

Otoshi, the complimentary starter

A glass of draft beer

Grilled pork collar

A good way to start.

Suyuk bossam, sliced boiled pork

Exquisite.

Ellyeop Pyunjoo

It’s doing well on Instagram, so I gave it a try. It turned out to be a traditional yakju-style rice wine, and a rather syrupy one at that. Probably not worth going out of your way for.

Fried chicken

Close to karaage but a slightly different style. It has character.

Han Young Seok Cheongmyeongju, Batch 13

Clean and easy to drink. A flavour that suits a Korean pub. Apparently the taste shifts a little from batch to batch, so there’s fun in collecting them. It seems all sorts of things are being tried in traditional Korean liquor too.

Stir-fried squid

Ordered it for the first time in a while.

Hetbahn, the instant microwave rice

It’s good to have rice when you’re eating something spicy. Nice that they’ve started serving Hetbahn lately.

Saengseon-jeon, pan-fried fish fillets

Delicious.

Tangsuyuk, sweet and sour pork

This one is a work of art too.

Tteokbokki

We finished with tteokbokki on the house… they do it really well, as always.
