Gimpo Korean restaurant Osaejju: jjukkumi hot pot rice birthday meal
Osaejju is a Korean restaurant on Pungmu 2-ro in Pungmu-dong, Gimpo, specializing in jjukkumi (baby octopus) hot pot rice sets and hot-plate dishes. For her mother's birthday, the writer brought her parents and ordered three jjukkumi and pork belly hot pot rice sets (13,000 won each), mixing turmeric rice with bracken fern, radish salad, bean sprouts and lettuce, then cooling the heat with steamed egg and chilled seaweed soup. Osaejju is a tidy, easygoing spot for family gatherings or work dinners, especially with elders who struggle with spicy food.
