Gwangmyeong thistle rice restaurant with spicy octopus: Maehwa
Maehwa Gondeurebap Gwangmyeong Bamil Village Branch is a Korean restaurant in Bamil Village, Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi, serving gondeure bap (thistle rice) with a spread of seasoned vegetable side dishes. The writer took her dieting mother for the fire-grilled spicy octopus set, and the side dish pairings were good enough that her mother finished three bowls of thistle rice. With a large parking lot and a relaxed setting beside a mountain, Maehwa Gondeurebap suited a meal out with parents.
