Late-night chicken stew and soju-beer at Yeonsan-dong bar: Yetnal

Today I went to a spot in Yeonsan-dong where you can eat both fried chicken and chicken stew ˚₊‧꒰ා ♡ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

It's the kind of place you'd think of for crispy fried chicken with a somaek (soju-beer mix), but this time we ordered dakdoritang (spicy chicken stew) at this Yeonsan-dong favorite and had it with somaek 𐙚₊˚⊹ This place is a real gem~~~~~ They have multiple branches, so definitely check it out!!

My boyfriend told me this place is originally famous for its fried chicken! I was curious about the chicken too, but that day I was really craving dakdoritang, so I picked that ᰔᩚ 🍗 ˖ ࣪⊹

Old-school fried chicken shop vibe with graffiti-covered walls

The inside is charmingly nostalgic, with graffiti all over the walls like an old-school tteokbokki shop haha

True to its name, it has that old-fashioned fried chicken shop feel, which made it easy to walk in and relax.

Like any chicken restaurant, they bring out cabbage topped with ketchup-mayo (my absolute favorite..❤️) and shrimp chips~

Chicken stew with soju-beer — how did it taste?

Out of all the menu options, we ordered the dakdoritang that day.

Here comes the dakdoritang~🥘 Whoa, there's long rice cake, quail eggs, and a ton of chicken in there

Once the dakdoritang arrived, the table filled up completely ₊˚⊹ᰔᩚ Seeing the visuals, we immediately ordered somaek haha🍻

Can you tell how tender it looks just by looking..｡･ﾟ･ ᡣ𐭩 Itadakimasu

And when you slurp up the glass noodles soaked in that sauce

It's not too sweet at all, the sauce is just right, seriously

It's great as a drinking snack too, so having it with drinks was perfect. The chicken is also cut into pieces that are easy to eat.

A bite of the perfectly braised quail egg — ha-ahh ꒰ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ꒱₊˚⊹

Final thoughts

Since this is a well-known fried chicken spot in Busan, they also have yetnal tongdak and fried chicken on the menu, so I thought it'd be nice to try the chicken menu next time!! They even have a combo that pairs dakdoritang with yetnal tongdak, so for foodies who want to have it all, that menu might catch your eye.

If you're looking for a place in Yeonsan-dong to enjoy food and drinks together until late at night, Yetnal Tongdak & Tang Yeonsan Main Branch will come to mind ᡣ𐭩₊˚⊹
