## In short

Bap Jangin Hongdae Branch is a Korean restaurant in an alley two minutes on foot from Exit 8 of Hongik University Station in Mapo, Seoul. The spam set for two costs 25,000 won, and ordering it as pork kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) at the mild level brought a stew packed with spam, tofu and pork that was mixed into rice and finished with a sprinkle of gim (dried seaweed flakes). The broth at Bap Jangin was tangy and savory with a gentle sweetness, spicy enough to enjoy without being overwhelming.

Kimchi, tofu, pork, spam — every ingredient is packed in generously. I especially loved how much tofu and meat there was.

### How does the kimchi jjigae broth taste, and which spice level to pick?

I tasted the broth first, and it had a slight spicy-savory kick with a gentle sweetness — the kind of kimchi jjigae anyone would like. I chose mild and it was just the right level, which I loved.

>> Spice levels << Mild / Slightly spicy / Spicy / Extra spicy
