Last month when Oppa went back to Korea for business trip, his business partner brought him to Gangwon-do for one of the famous Dakgalbi Restaurant in Chuncheon~ Dongnamu-jib for Dakgalbi. He took the pictures below as he wanted to show me the original Dakgalbi in Korea is same as the Dakgalbi we had in Ampang last year. You may read Uncle Jang Dakgalbi which I posted May last year. The restaurant is built with log-wood The restaurant is a matjib (famous restaurant) that features in 3 major Korea TV shows (KBS, SBS and MBC). Many people would drive all the way to Chuncheon for Dakgalbi so the restaurant is always full house especially during the weekend.
Each table is equipped with this large grill pan in the center of the table - standard setup for Dakgalbi restaurant. Dongchimi (cold radish soup) as well as lettuce, onion and garlic slice and ssamjang for the wraps will be serve after order place. The order menu with price listed. The "T" stands for 2 pax or 2 servings. Korean like to use the Chinese character "正" to represent no.1 till no.5.
2 Servings of Dakgalbi which consists of boneless chicken parts, cabbage, green onions, rice cake and red and spicy marinate sauce. The secret of making the dakgalbi famous is lies on their own special marinate sauce. You don't have to cook yourself, the server will stir fried the dakgalbi for you.
Koreans usually like to left at least 1/4 of the serving for the fried rice later. The fried rice is not included with the dakgalbi so you need to order the rice separately. The balance of dakgalbi will be move aside, and server will cook the fried rice which consist of lettuce and the spicy red sauce. Fried rice is the highlight of dakgalbi that one shouldn't miss!
