Hyehwa poke shop takeout near SNU Hospital: pepper chicken, Sallering

A solo lunch in Hyehwa: what is Sallering Daehak-ro like?

Sallering Daehak-ro is a poke and salad shop on the first floor on Daehak-ro 10-gil in Hyehwa. It is open daily 11:00–20:00, with last order at 19:30. It had been a while since I'd been to Hyehwa! I go to Seoul National University Hospital, so I come to this neighborhood regularly, and when lunchtime rolled around I stopped by Sallering Daehak-ro, a great spot for eating alone.

Summer, the season of bare skin, is coming, so I've been thinking about my diet lately. Partly for my health and partly to slim down, I find myself reaching for healthier food. Poke is light but filling and tasty, so I eat it a lot! It suits Korean tastes perfectly, and since Sallering Daehak-ro sells it, I dropped in.

The green sign makes you think of vegetables! The inside of Sallering Daehak-ro feels fresh too. Hyehwa has universities and hospitals, so lots of people eat alone here, which makes it an easy place to go at lunchtime.

You order at the kiosk~ I was eating alone, but I had a bus to catch, so I got my food to go!

Sallering Daehak-ro menu and how to order poke

Sallering Daehak-ro offers many kinds of poke, plus salads, wraps, soups, sandwiches and juices. Sallering is famous for its bibim poke (mixed poke) ~ pick a menu item, then choose a base from vegetables / brown rice barley / whole wheat pasta / egg sheet!

I ordered the pepper chicken breast bibim poke (brown rice barley / sweet soy dressing) and a ham cheese egg sandwich! I wanted something a bit more filling, so I chose brown rice barley as the base.

Ready in 5 minutes after ordering!?? Done in a flash!! Poke comes in a single bowl, so it's great for a quick bite when you're busy :)

Is Sallering's ham cheese egg sandwich enough for a meal?

Sallering's ham cheese egg sandwich has ham, cheese and egg all in one, and it was enough for a full meal. It looks super plump at first glance! Usually sandwiches are split into ham + cheese or ham + egg, but Sallering puts everything in one menu item, so it's a hearty, chunky sandwich!!

They didn't skimp on the ham either, so the flavor feels richer. It was my first time trying a sandwich at Sallering, and as expected it was fresh and really filling.

With ham, cheese and egg, it's mild and not heavy. The sauce is a little sweet! I think kids would like it too.

Super hearty!! Whatever I pick at Sallering suits my taste so well!!! A sandwich can feel like a snack, but this one is so packed that it was truly enough for a meal. It's good when you need to sort out a meal alone, or to eat on the go :)

How does the pepper chicken breast bibim poke on a brown rice barley base taste?

Sallering Daehak-ro's pepper chicken breast bibim poke is a chicken breast poke with pepper that tastes zesty and clean. Since I chose barley rice as the base, I picked a chicken breast topping to keep things a bit lighter!

The pepper gives it a zesty, clean taste. I think it's a good pick for dieters or anyone getting enough protein.

Eating it with brown rice barley instead of white rice makes it healthier and more filling!! If you're losing weight hard, choosing just vegetables or the egg sheet as the base lets you diet deliciously without stressing over food :)

What does the sweet soy dressing taste like?

Sweet soy is one of Sallering's 12 dressings, with a slightly oriental-dressing feel that goes well with any topping. I usually go for the Sallering bibim sauce, but today I skipped the red spicy sauce~ and went with the soy base, off we go~

The poke finished with sweet soy dressing~ The sweet-and-salty sauce, vegetables and chicken breast were a great combo. Even after finishing the whole bowl, my stomach felt light, not heavy, so it's easy to eat!!

Even people who dislike vegetables would probably eat them this way, as poke!! Sallering's vegetables are fresh and the basic toppings are varied, so there's lots of good texture. It stays crunchy right to the end~~

Why Sallering Daehak-ro works for a solo lunch in Hyehwa

Sallering Daehak-ro's menu centers on vegetables and protein, so anyone watching their diet or looking for healthy food will probably like it with no fuss!! With so many bases and dressings, I don't think you'd get bored even eating it every day~~ I recommend it for a solo lunch in Hyehwa :)
