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 ~ Pancake Story

6/18/2013

0 Comments

 
This past week we went to A Pancake Story, a cute little pancake story. 
I love the atmosphere.
Picture
I love sitting outside with the ladies.
Picture
And I love watching the hussle and bustle of this cute little kitchen & the staff of 3.

Picture
Plus, they know me so well:
Picture
A Pancake Story is a tiny little cafe Hannam-dong that can hold maybe 20 customers when the patio is open!  In April of 2010  10 Magazine ranked them as the  #1 place in Seoul for brunch so I was excited to head out and try them.   However I need to learn to lower my expectations.  This place was good, but not someplace I would RAVE about or even go back to when there are so many other places in the city that are way better....like Bim Bom, which is only 2 or 3 doors down. 

                                               YUMMY cinnamon apples & bananas on top of plain pancakes:
Picture
Crispy nut pancakes with chocolate chips.  Jennifer ordered this and her review on Facebook was:  (taken with her permission) 
"Gave a Pancake Story a try today in Hannam-dong . Cute place, great company, but the food did not make my taste buds do back flips. The pancakes needed vanilla and the nuts (stuffed) needed to either be slightly candied or the peanuts swapped for pecans. Thank goodness they allowed some chocolate chips to be added. :) I also had two over medium eggs, they were just eggs nothing fancy. The peach iced tea was tasty."
Picture
As for me, I ordered cream cheese and mozzarella pancakes (for 7,300 won), a side salad (I don't' know how much it was) and 2 eggs (2,000 won) over medium.  Personally I was highly disappointed.  The salad was lettuce a cherry tomato and a few sprouts - I ordered the dressing on the side - look at the picture.  The eggs were cooked over HARD not over medium and the pancakes were a total disappointment.  If you want cream cheese and mozzarella pancakes, which I think everyone should try at least once I recommend going to Butterfinger Pancake and have theirs! 
Picture
I'm glad I tried A Pancake Story & it wasn't bad, but it's not in my top 10 either.

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)

Come to the end of the street and turn
left onto Dokeseodang-ro  (you will go under a highway of sorts-
Hannam-daero and straight across)
Right after you go under Hannam-daero  A Pancake Story will be on your left side on the corner. 
We parked across the street under the big office building.
(Where Dr. Sung's office is located.)

    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?
