IFC Mall tteokbokki restaurant, mild spice vs Yongsan: Hyeonseonine
Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch is an instant tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cake) restaurant on basement level 2 of IFC Mall in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, between Yeouido Station and The Hyundai. Remembering how hot the medium spice tasted at the Yongsan flagship, this visit went with mild for the instant tteokbokki for two (₩22,000): the rice cakes were chewy and the broth generous, but the heat was blander than expected. The verdict is that even for someone weak with spice, medium is the better choice at Hyeonseonine.
