Daejanggum When my friends come to Korea, I feel it is my mission to jettison the myth that all Korean food is fiery, oh-my-god, spicy. Many of my friends are professionals or travelers that are only in town for a couple of days. Although, I would love to take them to Gyeong-ju to my favorite restaurant in Korea, Yoseongung, for real traditional food, there is simply a lack of time. While in Seoul, I find that Daejanggum near Seolleung station is a safe bet. Afterwards, my friends become my new crusaders in my mission to dispel the myths about Korean food.

I'd rather not scorch my tongue, and on more than one occasion, I've ruined my shirts with small spills. The Coffee Bean in Korea has a solution. They insert a stirrer into the mouth of the dome lid in order to prevent accidently spillage. Aza.
