[Buyeo] - Gudeurae Dolssambab (구드래돌쌈밥)

Ended our Baengmagang River cruise at Gudeurae Pier, and we're given an hour to enjoy our lunch before continuing the tour...

I asked the guide what's her recommended food, she said everything nearby there was delicious. It's hard for me to choose and due to the limited time. We followed her and bus driver as they're going to a restaurant serving Korean food...

Gudeurae Dolssambab (구드래돌쌈밥). 

 Special menu available with minimum order of 2 person.

The tour guide recommended and helped us order Bulgogi Dolssambab for 2 person and additional one hot stone bowl of rice.

 

This restaurant has two halls and adopting old Korean-style 

dining on the low table and customers sit on the floor with a cushion.

Wanted to go around and take some pictures while waiting for the food, but restricted movements because it's so crowded with all the tables occupied.

 

Numerous strands of bygones eras found in this restaurant.

Antique objects such as kerosene oil lamps, piano, abacus, movie posters,  

old photos and books, pots, jars charmed the interior of this restaurant

and bring the traces of years to present.

 

Our friendly tour guide and nice bus driver.

We waited for a while for the food and our guide requested them to serve it faster because we'll join the tour after lunch. 

Bulgogi Hot Stone Rice (불고기돌쌈밥) - ₩30,000 for 2 person.

Feel hungrier seeing a big pan of meat top with cabbage, green vegetables, carrot, enoki mushroom.  Inpatient to wait until it cooked...

Happy to see various side dishes. Let me eat this first while waiting...

Soybean paste stew (된장찌개 / Doenjang-jjigae).

Organic fresh vegetables for ssam.

 

Rice cooked in stone pot (dolsot) with pumpkin, sweet potato, grains, 

beans and nuts. Not only looks delicious but it's healthy diet full of nutrition!

Our table quickly covered with big and small plates, bowls.

Our caring tour guide asked the staff to put the rice on the floor and put the stove on our side instead of middle because they're hot.

 Once the bulgogi cooked, you can eat it Korean style
by wrapping it with fresh vegetable and side dishes.

 

  Suddenly, our bus driver walked to us and asked the guide 

to make scorched rice tea (숭늉 / Sungnyung) 

by pouring barley tea to the hot stone pot. 

 

Tadaaa... we got additional free drink :)

Actually, I think this is a great idea because you're not wasting the rice, and also easier to wash the bowl without hardening rice sticking there.

Not sure whether if pour the soup instead of water or tea also called Sungnyung...

If yes, I do it everyday when dining at home although not on the stone bowl. I just pour the soup on the rice in a plate and top it with all the dishes. Well, maybe some people will see it's disgusting because everything mixed together... But, I just want kids not to be picky and have to finish everything on their plates whether they like it or not. One of my friend always teased me that theydon't need to wash the plate because it's as clean as new one. LOL!

   

Lunch for 4 person only ₩38,000.

It's really worth the price, especially we had healthy bulgogi dolssambab, enjoyed rice tea and had such pleasant meal time while learning something interesting.

 

Not realised that I walked off the restaurant with black apron.

Omo... do I look like Cass beer promoter?!

My blur hubby also didn't notice it when snapping these photos

until a person told me that. Aigoo so embarrassing yo!

Our bus waiting for us at parking lot near Sun Mart.

Shops and restaurants near Sculpture Park (구드래조각공원).

 Nice wooden house restaurant...

Let's take a photo before here before going to the bus.

 Kids spotted 2 Snowmen and...

beautiful flowers blooming in winter.

Visit Korea Special VIP Tour [Day 3-3]

Dakgalbi, this marinated chicken in gochujang is a signature dish originated from Chuncheon, capital of Gangwon Province.

 

Our bus arrived in front of Dakgalbi restaurant.

It's just 5 minutes bus ride from Gangchon station.

Yeotteo Sutbul Dakgalbi
(옛터 = name of the place 솣불 = charcoal 닭갈비 = chicken rib).

After railbiking and knowing that we're going to eat Chuncheon Dalkgalbi made me feeling hungrier than it should be. 

 

Photos of celebrities and signatures were hanging at 

the entrance and every corners of the restaurant.

 

Pots of charcoal and container of marinated chicken.


Besides Chuncheon dakgalbi, there are others dishes such as Chuncheon Makguksu. 

 

 Didn't expect to see grill and charcoal on the table because...

 I was expecting to see dakgalbi, tteok, cabbage, sweet potato and

onions inside giant pan (철판 닭갈비) like what I'd before in Chuncheon.

 

 

This table setting looked like when we ate Black pork BBQ (흑돼지 삼겹살) 

in Jeju because kimchi, macaroni salad, lettuce, chive, garlic, onion, 

and ssam sauce were occupied 80% of the table.
 

 200 gr Charcoal grilled dakgalbi (솣불 닭갈비) - ₩12,000/person.

It said that dakgalbi appeared after the late 1960s as an inexpensive anju (food that is eaten while drinking) in small taverns, on the outskirts of the city to replace the comparatively expensive gui dishes which are grilled over charcoal. It is also known as "commoners' galbi" or "university student's galbi" because this popular dish was more affordable and and served in big portion.

 

The original Grilled Chuncheon Dakgalbi (솣불 닭갈비).

Presently, most of the restaurants selling stir-fried dakgalbi because it took longer cooking time for grilling dakgalbi. 

Thanks to VIP Tour that we got the chance to taste this authentic Chuncheon Dakgalbi. Fell in love with this original grilled dakgalbi. But maybe because it's only dakgalbi without vegetables and other ingredients, the portion seemed a bit smaller for 5 person.

Kim eonni also ordered non-spicy dakgalbi marinated with 

fruit and soy sauce (궁증닭갈비) for Nat.

 

 

I bet nobody can resist this yummy dakgalbi... Aaahhh!!!

I love the tenderness and juiciness of every pieces of this grilled dalkgalbi. Btw, although it's called chicken rib, but it's actually boneless tenders. You can eat it on its own, with rice or ssam style by wrapping it in lettuce with others banchan.

Chuncheon Makguksu - ₩7,000.

Makguksu (춘천 막국수) is another specialties of Chuncheon. It's buckwheat noodles served in cold broth with seasoning on top.

The owner gave us 2 bottles of Pepsi and Cider (칠성) as service, but we returned them because we prefer our makgeolli more than carbonated drinks.

Remember to try either one of Chuncheon Dakgalbi when you're there. If you've tried both, which version you prefer most? Grilled or stir-fried dakgalbi?
