> The Bongcheon Station kodari spot Sangdo Neulbori Bongcheon Station Branch — abalone braised pollock with bibimbap is a great combo 💛

I had to visit Boramae Hospital nearby recently, and while I was in the area, a friend who lives in Bongcheon-dong strongly recommended a restaurant she swears by. That's how I ended up at Sangdo Neulbori Bongcheon Station Branch, a Bongcheon Station kodari (dried pollock) spot known for its spicy-sweet sauce and chewy texture.

Parking right in front of the store, an affordable lunch special, and a self-serve bibimbap corner — everything was pretty much perfect 😋

Right at the entrance, a sign caught my eye: "We strive to be the kind of place one person visits 100 times, rather than one 100 people visit once." And true to that spirit, the owner was so friendly that I had a genuinely pleasant meal 👍🏻

As soon as I ordered, a tidy set of side dishes was laid out.

A seaweed soup that pairs perfectly with the spicy braised pollock, plus a soft steamed egg, are both included as standard!

I took a big spoonful and it was really soft and delicious.

## Small abalone kodari jorim: four whole abalone in the pot

The small abalone braised pollock at Sangdo Neulbori Bongcheon Station Branch came with two pollock and four abalone. Large chunks of potato and radish were mixed in too, perfect alongside rice.

Today's star, the abalone braised pollock, has arrived!

Two pollock and four whole fresh abalone...!

The potato and radish were cut in generous chunks too, great with rice. The potato especially was really tasty.

I also added rice cake strips, and that turned out to be another highlight.

True to its reputation as a Bongcheon Station kodari spot, the pollock had a chewy texture and a sauce that wasn't too intense — the kind of flavor you keep reaching for.

Wrapping rice, bean sprouts, and pollock together in dried laver made it clear this is the real deal.

## Finishing the meal with self-serve bibimbap

With half a bowl of rice left after eating with the braised pollock, I mixed it up with vegetables I'd brought over from the self-serve bibimbap corner.
