Side dishes and dishware arrive by unmanned delivery
What was surprising was that side dishes, rice, and dishware all get delivered to each table by an unmanned robot 🥹🥹 Such a next-gen system ✨
What does soybean cream gamjatang taste like?
Ta-da ✨ After a short wait, my order arrived — soybean cream gamjatang, a menu item I'd never seen anywhere before, so it was fascinating 🫛🫢
The pot came out generously full, topped with a soft, mousse-like cream made from soybeans.
Curious, I scooped up just the cream and tasted it — it wasn't like the usual dairy cream flavor at all. It was actually soybean, but nutty and soft, and I got why it's called soybean cream.
Why extra ugeoji is a must in this pork bone stew
Adding extra ugeoji (dried radish greens) to gamjatang is essential ❕ The combination of tender meat and well-seasoned ugeoji worked so well together that skipping the extra would've been a real shame haha.
Inside the pot there were also several whole potatoes, enoki mushrooms, and perilla leaves — the generous mix made it fun to pick through and eat.
With the soybean cream mixed in, the broth turned even richer and nuttier, and the well-cooked meat came off the bone easily with chopsticks. The portion was huge too, so by the end I was really full 👍🏻
A fascinating and filling find — soft, delicious soybean cream gamjatang at Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch ✨ Highly recommend for anyone looking for a Yongsan gamjatang restaurant or an Itaewon Korean restaurant 👍🏻👍🏻
