Recommended the cockles bibimbap set — mix the cockles with rice and sides yourself. Slightly spicy, but beautifully fragrant with sesame oil. Cost: - Bossam Set (KRW 12000) - 3 kinds of Saluted Fish Set (KRW 11000) - Cockles Bibimbap Set (KRW 12000)
Where the locals eat. Amazing sea snails and bossam. I’m crying. 😭 so good. Thank you! I had to stop and get a bossam meal set on my way out.
The food here was so so good, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since! It was simple, home cooked and delicious food. I had the fish with the banchan and it was good, the flavours were unreal. I will definitely return on my next trip to Seoul!
