Okay I admit, I went looking for this house equally I heard reviews on how delicious the braised chicken stew was as well as non because of famous YG celebrity Se7en ( I am sad to Se7en's fans! ^_^)
We managed to locate it at the Hongik Branch, give thank y'all god. Almost gave upward when nosotros couldn't uncovering it. Wanted to become to their Garousil branch at starting fourth dimension but can't uncovering it as well as kept getting lost.

Here comes the highlight- Yeolbong Jjimdak!!! Without the rice cake. This is medium size for the iv of us as well as it's actually filling, spicy marker was normal as well as it was already quite hot, manageable but still... At to the lowest degree it was non equally hot equally the ane I tried inwards Andong. ^^
With Thick cellophane noodle. I beloved the noodle BEST!
We did non direct maintain the extra rice to mix inwards amongst the leftover gravy equally nosotros were already amount from eating this whole plate of goodies. In culture, locals guild rice to mix amongst gravy towards the halt of a meal.
We did even thence guild about rice rolls wrapped amongst seaweed equally appetizers. Seaweed was crispy but otherwise it tasted normal.
