Ochang, Cheongju lunch with free parking: handmade ham army stew
Handmade Ham Gorae Budae Jjigae Ochang Main Branch is a budae jjigae (army stew) restaurant in the central commercial district of Ochang, Cheongju, and it makes the ham that goes into its stew in house. On this visit, a regular who stops by whenever work brings him to Ochang ordered two servings of the new Gorae Daewang Kkotso Bulgogi (giant beef bulgogi) plus one serving of Gorae Jeongtong Kkot Budae Jjigae, then added ramyeon noodles and rice to the pot. Bulgogi that is savory rather than sweet, a sharp handmade-ham army stew, and a free private parking lot right out front make Handmade Ham Gorae Budae Jjigae Ochang Main Branch an easy business-trip lunch.
