Daecheongmaru
After attending an exhibition at KINTEX over the weekend, I went to the Daecheongmaru. This restaurant is where I head when I'm in the mood for some tasty Kimchi-jjigae (kimchi stew). It is conveniently located on the main street and is not far from Hongik University Station's Exit 1.
Since I went there near the end of lunch, there weren't many diners.
Menu
Here I have tried Grilled pork, Cheong-gukjang, and Kimchi-jjigae. To make it ideal for two people to share, get a serving of kimchi-jjigae and grilled pork.
Side dish
A total of six varieties are available: raw radish, ssamjang, seasoned chives, egg rolls, lettuce, and garlic pickles. You can't get this seasoned garlic taste anywhere else, and the thick egg rolls are refillable.
Kimchi-jjigae 10,000 won ( + ramen noodle 1,000 won)
Kimchi-jjigae came in an old-looking pot with instant noodles on top.
Beneath the ramen, you'll find chopped peppers, tofu, pork, and kimchi, all sliced into bite-sized bits.
It tastes better when you boil it down a bit. Rather than being spicy, the added soybean paste gives this kimchi stew a rich flavor. The flavor is similar to that of home cuisine one may find at grandma's house.
The serving is large enough to share, even though it's only for one person.
Dwaeji-gui Baekban (grilled pork with rice) 13,000 won
The grilled pork is not overly thin and is seasoned deliciously. It's been cooked well without getting burned, and the meat is very soft. Perfectly seasoned pork pairs well with rice and makes for a tasty meal.
Countless famous people have raved about Daecheongmaru's wonderful food. We highly recommend this establishment to anyone searching for authentic home-cooked Korean cuisine near Hapjeong or Hongdae.
