How does the aged kimchi hanwoo gopchang hot pot taste?

This time I ordered the aged kimchi beef intestine stew, the pork belly-brisket side grill, and a zero-sugar cola! Hwang Gop's gopchang stew combines the deep, spicy tang unique to aged kimchi with hanwoo intestine.

The aged kimchi makes the broth rich and savory, and with the hanwoo intestine's flavor added on top, it was a distinctive taste 😊 The stew portion itself was really generous! I hadn't even finished it yet when I ordered the fried rice alongside it.

Why you should order the fried rice too

Hwang Gop's fried rice is genuinely a hidden gem 😋 The stew portion was so generous that I was still eating it when the kitchen made the fried rice separately and served it up in a clean bowl. Scooping it up together with the stew broth was an absolutely killer combo! I never expected to fall for the fried rice on a trip for Geomdan New Town gopchang haha 😄 I highly recommend ordering it together!

Pork belly and brisket side grill

This is the pork belly-brisket grill we had alongside the stew. It's grilled directly over charcoal so the smoky flavor really comes through, and switching between the stew and the grill as a palate cleanser worked great 😋

Next visit: the open-flame grilled gopchang

Looking around the restaurant, everyone else besides us was eating the charcoal-grilled intestine! It seemed like most people who come to Hwang Gop near Ara Station come for the grill. I'd had a mixed gopchang grill in my neighborhood not long before, so I went with the stew this time, but next time I'm definitely trying Hwang Gop's signature charcoal-grilled hanwoo intestine 🔥

That flavor of 100% domestic hanwoo intestine grilled full of smoky char — I'm already looking forward to the next visit 😊

For a Geomdan gopchang restaurant that serves hanwoo, the price felt reasonable! It's genuinely surprising that a 100% domestic hanwoo intestine specialist can offer this price. Being able to enjoy hanwoo quality at this price among the Geomdan New Town gopchang restaurants is a real strength 👍
