Asan à la carte grilled mackerel and pot rice: Busan-e Tteun Godeungeo
Busan-e Tteun Godeungeo Asan Tangjeong Branch is a new wood-fired grilled fish restaurant with a Korean self-serve bar, on the 2nd floor of the brown building in front of Tangjeong Station in Asan. Ordering à la carte, the grilled mackerel and grilled atka mackerel came with added pot rice, plus stir-fried pork, rolled egg, braised tofu, japchae (glass noodles) and namul (seasoned vegetables) from the self-serve bar. Half the pot rice was eaten with the fish and half as bibimbap, finished with nurungji (scorched rice) and omija tea — a Korean spread that felt like real value.
