Summary
This is a cartoon published as serials in a newspaper. Author Kyungkyu Cho introduces old and mustvisit restaurants in Seoul to his readers. His two criteria for choosing restaurants are: 1) places he visited
with his parents when he was little and 2) places he goes to eat with his family. Most of the restaurants,
therefore, are at least 30 years old. Some examples are Pyongyang Myeonok and Pyongraeok where
dumpling soup, seasoned chicken, and Pyongyang cold noodles are served, Heungnam House that serves
sweet and sour Hamheung cold noodles with seasoned raw fish, and a restaurant in Dohwa-dong serving
spicy and hearty kimchi stew.
Dishes at restaurants that have maintained their taste and ambience are even more delicious because
they bring back memories from long ago.
Over time, depth is added to people as well as dishes served at restaurants. Let‘s go experience a taste
of nostalgia!
If you visit Seoul, you will see dishes like cold noodles, gimbap, tteokbokki, and seasoned chicken on the
menu. This book will be a helpful guide for choosing restaurants.
