We started with a group of 15 for lunch at
koong in Insadong for Tteok Mandu guk.
Some of us had a little Baeksaeju to start the day.
The tteok mandu guk (rice cake dumpling soup) is quite famous at koong. Why is it famous? They have excellent broth, the dumplings are packed with awesomeness, and the ricecakes look like 2 little pearls smashed together.
Kimchi and Turnip Kimchi
The ricecake from Koong
The Mandu from Koong
Then we headed off to find Hotteok. Hotteok is a common winter street food. It's basically a fried rice donut with melted cinnamon, peanut caramel in the center.
Here the dough is crispier because they use corn meal. Yum.
Melissa is double fisting her's because it's just that good.
Thanks for coming out!
You can join the facebook group to get regular updates on future events here.
That's so cool! Glad to see you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteI went to 궁 today and tried the 개성만두국. I gotta say, I was a bit disappointed. I thought the filling was kind of bland, and that the 국물 was just ok. I like the 만두국 at this one 냉면집 near me in 신촌 a lot better. I will say that the 반찬 at 궁 were pretty good, though.
