Gungdong dinner for two: seafood kalguksu at Choi Jiseong's
Choi Jiseong's Seafood Kalguksu is a seafood noodle soup restaurant in Gungdong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. The writer ordered seafood kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) for two at 25,000 won plus a tasting-size seafood pajeon (seafood pancake) at 9,000 won, finding a pot packed with squid, shrimp, abalone, and clams before eating the seafood first and adding noodles to the deepened broth. Given today's dining prices, the seafood portion felt generous, and baby chairs are available so families can eat there too.
