It was a nice small bite while waiting for the meal. ![Glutinous rice and roasted seaweed eaten while waiting for gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal-13-kvgmq-966.webp) ![Glutinous rice and roasted seaweed from Gujeon Gukbap's basic spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal-14-wec9o-966.webp) I heard that the Halmaep kimchi was made in-house. It was spicy for my taste, but I kept reaching for it. ![Spicy Halmaep kimchi served with Gujeon Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal-15-1pkdf-966.webp) ![Kimchi side dish served with a meal at Gujeon Gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal-16-ph4ou-966.webp) ## How filling were the ampong sundae gukbap and side dishes? The ampong sundae gukbap had generous amounts of ampong sundae and tojongsundae (traditional Korean blood sausage). It was enjoyable to pick out the different ingredients, and one bowl of gukbap alone was quite filling. ![Ampong sundae gukbap with ampong and traditional Korean blood sausage](https://img.superchart.com/images/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal-17-mi4tw-966.webp) The sliced head meat was tender and moist. One plate felt like a generous amount for two people to share. ![Plate of sliced head meat ordered with gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal-18-uib8b-904.webp) ![Generous sliced head meat from Gujeon Gukbap for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal/gujeon-gukbap-yongbong-sundae-meal-19-1ymv6-904.webp) The meat dumplings were large and served warm.
