On a weekend visit to Asan, two people ordered the truffle cream gnocchi and the pesce pasta at When You Bite, and the nutty cream sauce and the spicy tomato base worked well together precisely because they were so different. The squid-packed pesce pasta was the more memorable of the two dishes. ## Good to know - **Dishes ordered**: Truffle cream gnocchi, pesce pasta - **Location**: 1st floor, 72 Maegokhandeul 8-gil, Tangjeong-myeon, Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-do - **When visited**: Weekend *as written by the visitor on Sep 1, 2026* ![Photo from a visit to When You Bite, a brunch café in Tangjeong, Asan](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-01-1usli-1200.webp) ## When You Bite in Tangjeong, Asan: the two dishes chosen on a weekend I went to Asan over the weekend looking for somewhere with good vibes that could also handle a proper meal, and ended up at When You Bite. It's well known as a brunch café so I was curious. I went back and forth between gnocchi and jambon-beurre, and settled on the truffle cream gnocchi. And the pesce pasta too!! ![Table at When You Bite before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-02-1exho-900.webp) ![Interior view of When You Bite brunch café](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-03-1t1fm-900.webp) ![Seating at When You Bite as the meal is being set up](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-04-1p0mi-900.webp) ## What is the truffle cream gnocchi at When You Bite like? Truffle cream gnocchi ![A plate of truffle cream gnocchi at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-05-7ewak-900.webp) ![Close-up of truffle cream gnocchi with mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-06-1na1y-900.webp) I tried the truffle cream gnocchi first, and personally, the cream sauce was really delicious. The truffle came through subtly, and the savory, smooth cream sauce went really well with the gnocchi. The mushrooms in particular made the mushroom-and-cream-sauce combo work well. ## Pesce pasta: squid and a spicy tomato base like hangover pasta Pesce pasta ![When You Bite's pesce pasta with squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-07-2trba-900.webp) And surprisingly, the dish I liked even more was the pesce pasta. It had a spicy kick on a tomato base, so it felt like the kind of hangover pasta people usually picture. Ordering one cream-sauce dish alongside the pesce pasta turned out to be a great combination. It was spicy with a savory depth that kept me coming back for more, and best of all, it was loaded with a good amount of squid. If you like seafood pasta, or prefer something a little spicy and hearty over something rich and heavy, I'd recommend the pesce pasta. Between the two dishes, the pesce pasta was the more memorable one for me. Overall the food was great. Since each dish went in such a different flavor direction — the cream sauce versus the spicy pesce pasta — I was glad we ordered both. ![Table view during the meal at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-08-fpko1-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of two brunch dishes at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-09-nvvfw-900.webp) ![Gnocchi and pasta placed together at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-10-qmdyr-900.webp) ![Close-up of the cream gnocchi plate at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-11-1wruk-900.webp) ![Horizontal photo of the café space at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-12-gxdpk-900.webp) ![Noodles and sauce of the pesce pasta at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-13-1quxl-900.webp) ![Scene of the brunch meal at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-14-17m1k-900.webp) ![Two menu items on the table at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-15-1clif-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of the interior at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-16-ecce8-900.webp) ![Detail of a brunch plate at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-17-1nvu0-900.webp) ![Table near the end of the meal at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-18-1vcfb-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of the atmosphere at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-19-9qz6p-900.webp) ![Close-up photo of the brunch menu at When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-20-13z4t-900.webp) ![Interior photo of When You Bite in Tangjeong, Asan](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-21-o11dt-900.webp) ![Final photo from the visit to When You Bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta/asan-tangjeong-brunch-gnocchi-pesce-pasta-22-12qfi-900.webp) ## When to visit When You Bite next time This was an Asan brunch café where the tasty cream sauce of the truffle cream gnocchi and the spicy pesce pasta made a great combo.
