âPalpal Abaloneâ uses fresh abalone to present a variety of foods, such as sashimi, grilled, and steamed meat. The signature menu is âButter-grilled abalone,â which has a sizzling sound and a pleasant buttery flavor that enhances the taste buds. Butter penetrates deeply between the tightly coated abalone, bringing out the savory flavor to the fullest. Ingredients such as shrimp, broccoli, onions, and mushrooms were added to add a hearty touch.

âJeongmok Nurungji Mizutakiâ has been responsible for the health of nearby residents with mizutaki and soba dishes. The signature menu is âNurungji Mizutaki,â where immaculate chicken mizutaki is placed on top of an earthenware pot filled with rice crackers. Chicken carefully cooked in a cauldron with ingredients such as garlic, ginseng, jujube, and pine nuts has an excellent texture that is tender yet moist. After eating meat, it's a good idea to fill your stomach with savory rice crackers.

âBuyeong-do Ganitangâ has a nostalgic feeling of being a long-established building with over 30 years of experience. The signature menu is âcrucible soup,â which is flavored with a broth made by boiling crucibles and lean meat over a long period of time. The broth, which uses only Korean beef and has a rich flavor, has a refreshing texture. The rich soup blends harmoniously with the chewy texture of the crucible that has been cut so that it is easy to eat.

â²Opening hours: 08:00 â 20:00 every day, closed on Mondays
â²Price: Crucible bath 12,000 won, beef 22,000 won
â²Testimonial (shikigin): I wasn't expecting the amount because it was made with Korean beef, but it was nice that the crucible was not annoying. If you dip a crucible in soy sauce and then roll the rice in the soup and eat it with a crunchy kakuteki, it's over alcohol.
