We were more in the mood for noodles and rice than pizza, so we ordered a pilaf and two pastas haha - 📌 Shrimp anchovy oil pasta ₩18,000 - 📌 Abalone cream risotto ₩20,000 - 📌 Kung Pao chicken pilaf ₩22,000 ![A plate of shrimp anchovy oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-15-f9a0l-900.webp) ![Close-up of oil pasta topped with shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-16-1qpw3-900.webp) ### Shrimp anchovy oil pasta The shrimp anchovy oil pasta was so good last time that I ordered it again! It's pleasantly funky, salty and oily, and it's still delicious the second time around haha ![Oil pasta showing plump shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-17-1dp8m-900.webp) The shrimp were super plump too, great chewy texture! You know pasta tastes best when you twirl it, right? With pasta+shrimp+garlic all together, I just kept going haha. The pasta disappeared in no time..haha ![Oil pasta twirled around a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-18-159tv-900.webp) ![A bowl of abalone cream risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-19-1kaos-900.webp) ### Abalone cream risotto I've been into risotto lately so I ordered the abalone cream risotto, and honestly, the visuals alone couldn't possibly taste bad..! The abalone innards paired perfectly with the cream! The abalone was finely chopped too, so the chewy texture was great. It wasn't too rich, just rich enough, and I finished the whole bowl haha. Totally recommend it when you're craving risotto! ![Close-up of abalone cream risotto with abalone on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-20-1bvv4-900.webp) ![Kung Pao chicken pilaf topped with a whole chicken thigh](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-21-bv9hy-900.webp) ### Kung Pao chicken pilaf, the whole chicken thigh visual The Kung Pao chicken pilaf is a spicy Asian-style fried rice with an oven-roasted whole chicken thigh stir-fried with salty Kung Pao sauce! I'd been curious about this menu for a while and finally ordered it this time haha. The chicken thigh that came out was way bigger than I expected, the visual was insane! It's a whole chicken thigh, so honestly the chicken alone could fill you up?!! The chicken was tender and delicious too ![Cross-section of the slow-roasted chicken thigh](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-22-zsau2-900.webp) The inside of the chicken thigh looked reddish so I wondered if it was undercooked, but they said it's slow-cooked at a low temperature, so no need to worry! You can trust Bueokgan Suwan on that. Since it's thigh meat, it was tender and delicious! If you need rice at an Italian restaurant, I recommend this menu ![Chicken thigh meat placed on top of the pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto-23-zujrp-900.webp) It's tasty piled on top of the rice too, and the pilaf had a nice chewy texture that made it even better If you're looking for a pasta place in Suwan district, I recommend Bueokgan, a Suwan district favorite! ## Where it is - Bueokgan Suwan Branch (부엌간 수완점) - 37 Suwan-ro 106beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea, 1st floor - 전남광주통합특별시 광산구 수완로106번길 37 1층 - 35.1940376, 126.8322486 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EC%97%8C%EA%B0%84%20%EC%88%98%EC%99%84%EC%A0%90/@35.1940376,126.8322486,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@honam-meal-margin/buyeokgan-suwan-pasta-pilaf-risotto/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
