Unpacking the gimbap takeout beside Cheonggyecheon stream

29 Tamago Euljiro Branch isn't far from Cheonggyecheon, so I took my order to go and headed there~ The cool autumn weather and the flowing water of Cheonggyecheon were such a treat~

Once I unpacked the neatly wrapped gimbap, a whole spread of deliciousness was laid out~ Eeeeee~!!!

Vietnamese summer rolls with ssamjang mayo sauce

Started with the summer rolls first, as sort of an appetizer (?)! The thoughtfulness of including ssamjang (Korean seasoned dipping sauce) mayo sauce in its own little container was such a nice touch~

The summer rolls were packed with vegetables and looked healthy just from the visual alone.

Once I dipped it in the sauce and tasted it — oh my gosh~! Can summer rolls really be this good!? The crunchy bite of the vegetables, the sweet crispness of the carrot, the fluffiness of the egg, and on top of it all the rich, savory ssamjang mayo pulling it all together! I never knew vegetables could taste this good~

Vegetable whole-egg gimbap with steamed Spam and spicy fish cake

Next up, the vegetable whole-egg gimbap! It had a full egg roll tucked right in whole, plus the carrot strips I'd already enjoyed, spicy fish cake pitching in, and burdock root and Spam packed in generously too.

If it were just egg as the star, it might taste a bit too soft and plain — but the steamed Spam and spicy fish cake added such a rich flavor that it came together as a genuinely delicious gimbap! And the rice was kept to just enough to balance out the saltiness, so the rich, savory gimbap flavor was honestly impressive~

Keto tuna gimbap paired with soy mayo

Last up, the keto tuna gimbap! As 29 Tamago's signature menu item, its thick, hearty look was so appealing — with no rice at all, it was packed solid with egg and tuna, giving it a really healthy, delicious look~

Eaten plain, the saltiness of the tuna, the fluffiness of the egg, and a bit of crunch from the vegetables made it enjoyable even without any sauce~

But paired with the soy mayo sauce!

The umami of the soy sauce and the savory-salty mayo made a fantastic match with the keto tuna gimbap! The slightly plain flavor got boosted by that salty-savory kick into something perfect! Since it's basically a diet-friendly meal at heart, let's allow ourselves a little sauce~! Ate it up happily~!!!
