[SEOUL] Apgujeong 압구정 is a fashionable community in Gangnam recognized for its premium buying as well as eating alternatives.
Yet in the center of the glamour, high-end products as well as all, there is a little lane that causes a simple restaurant marketing Mandu or dumplings.
For over three decades, Mandujip 만두집 which essentially suggests “Residence of Dumplings” has actually been offering big Pyeongyang-style packed Mandu or Korean-style dumplings in the heart of Gangnam area.
The idea started with the initial proprietor originating from Pyeongyang, supporting the padding, food preparation, as well as offering throughout the years.
Today, her kids are running business maintaining her memory as well as the preference of her trademark meals.
It is detailed with a Michelin Bib Gastronomist.
Remarkably, when I went into the restaurant at 5:35 pm (5 mins after opening up), it was currently nearly complete as well as jam-packed. Solution was reasonably quick, like clock-work, however the clients simply kept being available in.
You can inform that several are regulars that have actually been right here throughout the years.
The tiny restaurant was sparsely embellished, with a tranquility, tidy ambiance from the light-coloured wood tables as well as chairs, to match the light-coloured wall surfaces.
Food selection is similarly easy with minimal products, however there is NO English food selection.
There are essentially Mandu Soup (14,000 Won), “Biji” or Soybean Dish (9,000 Won), Mandu Hot Pot (65,000 Won), as well as mix of Bindaetteok as well as Gochujeon or Red Pepper Pancake (22,000 Won).
For team dishes, the Mandu Hot Pot benefits sharing as well as chockful of healthy, filling up active ingredients.
The precious Mandu or Dumpling Soup (14,000 Won, SGD14.90) with 6 big items, was made with a deep-flavoured however clear brisket brew sprinkled with a hot flavoring.
The soup was instead fascinating in preference– clear, slightly salted as well as spicy, as well as was so acquainted (my eating companion claimed it advised of a certain brand name of ramyeon soup).
If you favor it non-spicy, you can ask for to omit this spicy flavoring for a milder preference.
The dumplings were full of diced beef, bean curd, mung bean sprouts, environment-friendly onions, as well as sesame oil. They tasted rather rustic as well as homemade like exactly how an ajumma
would certainly offer her visitors. No fuss, skin somewhat on the thick side, with fresh as well as tidy preference.
While the Bindaetteok as well as Gochujeon were detailed independently on the food selection, I discovered that it was a should to purchase them 2 with each other (or maybe something was shed in translation).
The popular Oriental recipe was made with ground mung beans combined with diced veggies as well as meat.
The combined mix is after that formed right into tiny pancakes, after that deep-fried till crisp gold brownish.
In General, it has a savoury as well as slightly nutty flavour, while the included veggies as well as meats give appearance as well as flavours to the pancake. Appreciate it as a passionate, crunchy though oily treat.
The Gochujeon, likewise a conventional treat in South Korea, is a pan-fried batter made with environment-friendly chili peppers, fish sauce, onions, as well as flour.
When done, it is offered with a dipping sauce of red pepper paste. Tolerable.
