“Seongsu-dong†was reborn as a foodie paradise from a factory area through a handmade street. It is an emerging rural village where many celebrities and entertainers live, and one of the trend-setting areas in Seoul. From Ttukseom Station to Yeonmujang-gil that passes through Seongsu Station, Seoul Forest, and Ttukseom Hangang Park, hip spaces are constantly popping up all over Seongsu-dong. In the early days, factories and warehouses were renovated, and cafes with unique interiors became popular, and people continued to visit. Since then, Seongsu-dong has naturally become a hot spot in Seoul, with unique restaurants and famous chefs entering the market.
Recently, the number of complex cultural spaces in Seongsu-dong has increased, adding things to enjoy. Buildings that have not been visited for a long time, such as warehouses, family homes, mills, and dyeing factories, are reborn as new spaces by bringing emotion.

“Xiong Mao†is the second place of “Le Fricke,†famous for its homemade chicken burger. You can find Asian cuisine with exotic flavors with a variety of spices. The signature menu, “Ongbak Chicken Rice Bowl,†is pleasing to the eye with the colorful colors of the egg, mint leaves, and chicken placed on top of the rice. Chicken, salted and deep-fried in Thai style, is crispy and juicy at the same time. Chicken, which makes use of its sweet and sour flavor with a slow mom sauce, is wrapped in a cozy egg, and goes well together. The green mint leaves add fragrance and at the same time act as licorice, which cleans up the aftertaste.

What I ate on this day was Ongbak Chicken Rice Bowl, which has a Thai feel from the name! When I put ingredients such as chicken, eggs, mint, and cabbage on top of the rice and ate it in one bite, it had a rich texture and flavor, so I scraped it all the way to the end.

“Jinjaku Dining†presents fusion food that reinterprets Japanese food in various ways. The store, which has been converted into a warehouse, has a high ceiling, making it feel cool and open. The signature menu is “futomaki,†made by putting rice on top of seaweed and rolling it up with 7 ingredients including anago, cucumber, tuna, fried shrimp, and omelette. We recommend eating large futomaki by putting it in one bite without cutting it. Ingredients such as crunchy vegetables, faintly sweet fish, and crispy tempura come together to provide a rich cuisine. The “Korean beef daechang rice bowl,†which is cooked with a sweet and spicy sauce, pickled in onions and grated with egg yolk, is also popular. The sour onion relieves the greasy flavor of daichang, so you can eat it all the way through without getting bitten.

Each and every one of the futomaki was really fresh, so I enjoyed eating it!

“Cafeteria La Luna†is the second brand of the Hwadok pizza specialty store “Darobeâ€. The white background, the red signboard, the terrace reminiscent of an open-air cafe, and the interior with luxurious wooden furniture make you feel like you have come to Europe. They mainly sell “pincho,†a food from the Basque region of Spain, where various ingredients are placed on a baguette and fixed with a pin. The signature menu, “SHRIMP,†is a thick baguette filled with piquillo peppers, shrimp, sour cream, and abruga caviar. The combination of crispy baguette with chewy shrimp and popping caviar fills the mouth with a rich texture. Please note that you must order at least 2 pinchos per person when ordering for the first time.

â–²Testimonial (shikigin crab croquette): I think they just moved Spain from the exterior of the store to the menu they sell. The menu has a pincho picture so you can see how it comes out when you order. The baguette itself, which I think is the core of pincho, had a great texture and flavor. After eating the pincho, I ate Basque cheesecake for dessert, and it really melts.
