It was Bueokgan Sangmu Branch, a Gwangju pasta favorite, haha. We revisited Bueokgan Sangmu Branch because we were craving delicious Italian food. The atmosphere had been so nice, and everything was so good! ## Parking and waiting at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch > Bueokgan Sangmu Branch 🍕 > 24 Seogwangju-ro, Seo-gu, Gwangju, South Korea > 11:00–22:00 > Break time: 16:00–16:30 > Last order: 21:00 > Parking: available behind the building ![Parking information at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-03-10b19-900.webp) You can park behind the building, so come without worrying! ![Waiting area at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-04-hr7z6-900.webp) The restaurant was packed, so we waited a little. ![Interior of Bueokgan Sangmu Branch with diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-05-1dv19-900.webp) While waiting, I looked around, and the thoughtfully arranged objects plus the clean windows were so pretty with the lush green view outside on such a nice day~ 😆 ![Restaurant space decorated with objects by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-06-vblrl-900.webp) Even the objects were ridiculously cute! The windows on the other side were decorated in a similar way, but I couldn't find the right composition when I held up my camera, so I didn't get a photo.. ## Jambon pizza and salad from the couple set I ordered the couple set, which comes with salad + pasta or rice + pizza + two drinks! ![Drinks and salad from the couple set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-07-kanrz-966.webp) The coffee/orange juice and salad came out first. A lot of other tables ordered something like a baby napa cabbage Caesar salad too, and that looked delicious! ![Salad with jamón and dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-08-1xs5x-900.webp) It had jamón (?) in it, which was great for whetting the appetite, and the tangy dressing went so well with it. It felt like I was finally getting a proper dose of fiber for once 😆 ![Jambon pizza ordered as part of the couple set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-09-2ya5y-900.webp) The jambon pizza followed soon after! This was the pizza I was most excited to try! I don't like pepperoni, but why are jambon and jamón—when they're not too strongly scented—so delicious? 🤣 ![First slice of hot jambon pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-10-1bydn-900.webp) The most exciting moment is lifting that first slice of hot pizza, right? 😚 Just looking at the photo gets me excited again 😆 ![Pizza topped with jambon and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-11-ya29a-900.webp) This is the jambon pizza with Grana Padano cheese! 🧀 The gently salty jambon, nutty cheese, and a little drizzle of sweet honey made it the bible of sweet-and-salty flavor 😋 Personally, I don't usually like pizzas where you dip into sweet honey, like gorgonzola pizza, but this wasn't overly sweet and worked so well with the jambon and cheese. ![Green Tabasco served with pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-12-g9lsm-900.webp) ### What does green Tabasco taste like? And everyone, do you know green Tabasco? It came with the pizza, and since I'd only ever seen red Tabasco, I found the green one so fascinating.. It was my first time seeing it.. Because it was green, I wondered, Is this going to be okay? But... ![Green Tabasco sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-13-16aci-900.webp) Green Tabasco had a different charm from red Tabasco. It kind of smelled like fresh green chili..? Would people know what I mean if I called it a chlorophyll scent? 🙄 Both my fiancé and I said we liked the green Tabasco more than the red one, haha. ![Tangy pickles served with pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-14-1endw-900.webp) If it starts to feel a little rich, have some tangy pickles in between. ![Pickles served with pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-15-y3og3-900.webp) ## Kung pao chicken pilaf instead of pasta The next dish was kung pao chicken pilaf. Bueokgan is known in Sangmu District for pasta and risotto, but that day I strongly wanted rice! So I tried pilaf instead of pasta. ![Kung pao chicken pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-16-aazu5-900.webp) ![Kung pao chicken pilaf topped with a chicken leg](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-17-1coox-900.webp) Shoving a chicken leg right at you out of nowhere 🍗 ![Chicken leg on top of pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-18-7unlk-900.webp) Since my fiancé can't use scissors, I diligently got to work freeing the chicken leg with the scissors they brought as part of the set. Taking apart a chicken leg is so fun 😋 ![Preparing a chicken leg with scissors](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-19-1y6s2-900.webp) Pull the chicken thigh meat off and scatter it over the pilaf—yaaay~ ![Pilaf with chicken thigh meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-20-fio7o-966.webp) ![Kung pao chicken pilaf topped with chicken thigh meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-21-evx53-900.webp) Maybe because I was so hungry for rice, but this kung pao chicken pilaf was the most delicious thing to me! Haha. I didn't regret skipping pasta even at a Sangmu District restaurant known for pasta. ![The final jambon pizza and pilaf meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco-22-w1vgk-900.webp) ## An Italian restaurant for dates and wedding-invitation gatherings Bueokgan Sangmu Branch is a Sangmu District pasta favorite where we had such a happy meal, with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. From the savory, nutty jambon pizza to the fresh salad and the filling chicken-leg pilaf, every menu item was satisfying 🍗 The atmosphere is great too, so it would be lovely for a date, a gathering with friends, or even a wedding-invitation gathering for couples about to get married! But since it's a popular restaurant, anyone who hates waiting would probably be more comfortable booking ahead 🫢 It would also make a perfectly good Sangmu District brunch! ## Where it is - Bueokgan Sangmu Branch (부엌간 상무점) - 24 Seogwangju-ro, Seo-gu, Gwangju, South Korea (전남광주 서구 서광주로 24) - 전남광주통합특별시 서구 서광주로 25 1층 - 35.1294543, 126.847691 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EC%97%8C%EA%B0%84%20%EC%83%81%EB%AC%B4%EC%A0%90/@35.1294543,126.847691,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-first-seating/sangmu-jambon-pizza-green-tabasco/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
