Gamjatang

감자탕  or neckbone soup as I know it.
However when I googled it, Wikipedia says it is 'pork bone soup'.  SO, I guess maybe it can be made with any type of pork bones?  Who knows.  All I know is it is good and if you like Korean food then you should try this.
Picture
A while back I wrote about this Bulgogi and Squid place.
The  Gamjatang place is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
(In Hannam)

Take note:  The orange sign says
감자탕
Go in that alley.
Picture
When it dead ends take a left you will see this:
Picture
This is the restaurant.
Check out the menu, they even have it highlighted with red around what you need to order.
감자탕 = 6,000 won.
Picture
When you order 감자탕, you get this:
Neckbone soup - pork neck bone, vegetables, green onions, hot peppers (although this was not very spicy at all), potatoes and wild sesame seeds.  You will need to eat this with chopsticks and a spoon.  Chopsticks to pick the very tender meat out with, a spoon to eat the delicious broth.
Picture
The first time I went we ordered it in a larger size with noodles.  I liked this better, but I'm not sure how to order this.  I'm going to take the picture in next time to show them unless someone on here can tell me what it is.  Super and we added rice at the end when there was only a small amount of broth left to make it even more scrumptious.

To drive here from post:
Exit Commissary gate - turn left
Stay right - Turn right onto Itaewon Street 
Turn left on Daesagwan-ro - this street has a light. 
(You will be going through a street with many lights and lots of people walking - near Hannam Village)
At the light pretty far down just before you come to the big intersection (Daesagwan-ro)   turn left a - it's kind of a crazy light - I think it is just flashing, maybe not even a light at all - but more of a 4 way stop.
The restaurant is on your left just a few stores down.  
Park on the street.

Tuesdays With Trish - Bulgogi and Squid Restaurant Near Hannam Village

As most of you know I drive a 'hooptie' over here. If you unfamiliar with what a hooptie is click here and check it out.
Anyway, if you go back to that old post I said we got a 'great deal'. HAHAHAHA!  I'm cracking up over that one...but OK, if this car will last us for another 10 months I'm still insisting we got a good deal.  :o) 

Aren't my friends pretty?  Wonder what they are up to?  Well the back seat of my 'hooptie' is broken.  Stuck.  The seat won't lift up.  They are sitting on top of the folded down seat and yes, we are driving out into the world's 3rd largest city to go to lunch.  You think we are crazy?  Well maybe, but they had a choice, drive in Korea or let Trishie drive and sit in an unsafe car.  This was their choice.  And they are happy about it.  And we all lived to tell the tale.
Picture
Now on to our lunch story: 
This is where we had lunch.
We don't know the name of it.
Heck, we didn't even know where we were going.
Diane was a fearless leader.
She told me where to go.
But check it out....see that van? 
That is my van.
That is valet parking.
I parked the car myself.
I gave the 'valet' my key.
When we were done I gave him 2,000 won.
He gave my key back to me.
Valet parking at its finest.
Picture
Upon entry we saw the drink cooler.
Marci eyeballed this Plum Wine.
We had to drink it because....well....really, who would not want to be seduced into softness?
Picture
Ready to be seduced.
Picture
WOW.....seduced into softness.
Maybe not.
I made that face....you know the one. 
The one that after you have tasted something so bad you gag a little.
Yeah that one.

Give me a bowl of makkoli any day. 
Michelle made the face with the Makkoli.
(Don't worry, I only had a few sips - I was driving remember!)
Picture
We had a dish that is bulgogi and squid in a spicy sauce with all this yummy goodness on top.
As with many Korean restaurants you cook your own food.
I've got to tell you, I LOVED this restaurant.
The food was amazing. 
Perfect amount of spice for me.
Some of the other girls weren't huge fans, but only because they are new to Korea and they don't like seafood.
We should have ordered the plain bulgogi for the newbies.
Picture
When you are almost done and there is just a little bit of goodness left in the bottom of your cooking pan, they make fried rice out of the leftovers.  The lady comes over tosses in the rice and all the left over goodies from your table and you cook it up.  YUM, YUM, YUM!
Picture
From what I understand this little hole in the wall is a pretty famous for the dish we ate.  There are signatures all over the walls and from what I was told these are signatures of famous Koreans.

Good luck!!

    Hi, I'm Trish, the writer, creator and photographer of this blog.  I started this blog for 2 reasons, 1 - When I found out we were moving to Korea back in 2008 I was a little freaked out and started scouring the internet for information on Korea. At that time there wasn't much out there so I am doing my part in helping families across the world not be so freaked out when it comes time to move to Korea.  The 2nd reason I started this blog was to help stay connected to family members back in the states.  Today it is so much more that.
    I hope you enjoy our journey.

    Are you moving to Korea?  Do you have questions, concerns?  Are you freaking out?   Freak out no further -  click the button to ask a question.  I'll do my best to answer open and honestly.
    Moving to Korea?
