Just this and that, thrown together..

Japchae rice

It’s a Chinese place this neighborhood is known for, and it was decent enough.

Oyster pot rice

Dongtae-jjigae (pollock stew)

There used to be a famous dongtae-jjigae place around here, but it had closed down. So I went to a newly opened one instead, though the amount of pollock was a bit disappointing.

Sundubu-jjigae at Segwang Yangdaechang

Not bad value at all.

Altang (pollock roe soup)

Loaded with roe..

Shabu-shabu

Shabu-shabu must be having a moment; specialty places are popping up all over. This one was just so-so..

Busan Ajimae Gukbap

Worth eating every once in a while.

Master Lee Yeong-geun’s Traditional Mandu

Bought them on the strength of the “master” billing.. just so-so.. the skins were thin, so they kept splitting open..

Jjimdak

A bit spicy, but decent enough..

Nurungji

No, this is the real treat. Turns out the jjimdak wasn’t the main event.. and I end up overeating carbs, as usual..
