As I’ve mentioned before, lately I’ve been wandering off somewhere every weekend. This time I went to Mama Sugyo in Eungam-dong. Because I wanted dumplings..
The view from a park nearby..
I got there early, so I took a lap around it.
The basic table setting..
Drinking on a hot day just makes you hotter, which is rough.. but I ordered a bottle anyway.
Celery boiled dumplings
Full of character. I really liked these.
Steamed meat dumplings
Plainly good, in an ordinary way.
Fried shrimp dumplings
The fried dumplings are done well too, and I couldn’t help thinking this place would have blown up if it were in Hongdae.
Shandong jajangmyeon
This is a jajangmyeon unique to this place.
Poured over
It tastes more of doenjang than regular jajang does. It’s certainly distinctive, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s tastier than regular jajang; it seems fine as an occasional change of pace.
