Myeong-dong Sundubu jjigae

Do you know jjigae? I can tell you with confidence, all korean like jjigae. There're so many sort of jjigae and each of which has a unique charm. but jjigae is not as popular as other korean foods. I think the main reason is most of all, jjigae is hot and spicy! But if you really want to learn Korean food, I think it's a must-eat food.
'Myeong-dong Sundubu jjigae' is a just common Sundubu jjigae restaurant in Myeong-dong. I think most of all Sundubu jjigae is same each other. But I heard that the restaurant is famous in Korea. Brand 'Myeong-dong Sundubu' is the most representative of Korean Sundubu jjigae.

Anyway, If you decide to eat it, enter and order it! it's relatively inexpensive(maybe 6,000 won).

And then, you can find a host sundubu jjigae, rice in a bowl and kimci. How can we eat it?

Take some(not all) rice out a rock bowl to steinless rice bowl. But be warned, save some rice in the rock bowl as like the photo.

And then, fill the rock bowl with hot water. The water is called 'soong-nyoong'. It's a Korean dessert!
All preparation is complete. Many korean also add a raw egg in the jjigae. But it's just optional. Take a Sundubu jjigae!

Brunch in Myeong-dong

Interest in healthy food is rising along with the expansion of the well-being trend. So many korean women started liking brunch style food with fresh vegetables. My wife likes also it so we went to take a brunch to Myeong-dong(to be more exact, Eulji-ro) last weekend.

Cafe MAMAS is the most popular brunch cafe near Myeong-dong. Because of the popularity, you always should join the line to take a seat in the cafe for about 20-30 mins. I don't get it, but anyway many people love the cafe including my wife. It is located in Center One building that is newly-constructed building near Cheong Gye Cheon.

Best menus are Tomato Mozzarella panini, green grape juice and Rocotta cheese salad. After the brunch, I recommend taking for a walk in the Cheong gye cheon.
