Bongdam couple's meal with sujanghyangmi hotpot rice: Hwadamga
Hwadamga is a Korean restaurant in Bongdam-eup, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, known for wood-fired mackerel and pork belly. A couple ordered the wood-fired mackerel set and the direct-fire pork set on a weekend, added sujanghyangmi hotpot rice for 2,000 won instead of the default barley rice, and built bibimbap and wraps from a self-serve bar of 20-plus banchan (side dishes). With well-seasoned snail miso, perilla leaf pickles and less-salty mackerel, it's a Bongdam family restaurant worth a return visit.
