On a Friday evening, I went to Hanam Starfield and then stopped by Appa Jjim Main Branch nearby for dinner.

With a variety of menu items like angler fish stew, seafood stew, and braised pollock, it was easy to pick something for dinner. I think it'd also be good for anyone shopping or looking around Hanam Starfield who wants a hearty meal nearby afterward.

## Where is Appa Jjim Hanam Main Branch, and is there parking?

It's located at 경기 하남시 월호로 60 1층, and hours are 11:00–21:50. Parking is available right in front of the restaurant.

I drove there, and since parking was available right out front, it was really convenient.

## Booking a Friday evening table at Appa Jjim

We arrived around 7pm on a Friday. When we got there, the restaurant was already packed with customers.

Since I figured it'd be busy on a Friday night, I made a reservation the day before.

Thanks to that, we could sit right down without waiting. If you're planning to visit on a Friday evening or weekend, I'd recommend booking a reservation the day before.

## Tasting the banchan side dishes one by one

Once we sat down, several banchan (side dishes) were set out too — cabbage salad, gim (seaweed), cold seaweed soup, bean sprouts, pickled onion, and braised mushrooms.

While eating the spicy braised pollock, it was nice to alternate with cold seaweed soup or crunchy pickled onion in between, and the gim and bean sprouts also went well with the main dish.

Since the main dish was on the spicier side, I really appreciated having these banchan to balance it out.

## Adding dried radish greens to the braised pollock

Looking at the menu, there was angler fish stew, seafood stew, and braised pollock, so I thought hard about what to order.

Since I usually like braised pollock, I decided on that after some deliberation. And braised pollock needs dried radish greens (siraegi)! I love siraegi, so I added that too.

The siraegi, soaked well in the sauce, tasted so much better eaten together with the pollock — I'd personally recommend adding it.

### Choosing the classic, non-spicy version

You could also choose the spice level, but since it was our first visit, we went with the classic flavor. It was sweet and mildly spicy. Rather than being too sweet or too intense, it had just the right balance of sweetness and spice, and it went well with rice.

## A full table with cuttlefish and pot rice

Rice needs to be ordered separately, and you can choose between steamed rice and pot rice. Since I usually like pot rice, I went with that again this time.

On top of that, I also added cuttlefish as an extra topping.

With siraegi and cuttlefish added to the braised pollock, the table ended up looking pretty hearty.

## Pollock deboned at the table by staff

Finally, the braised pollock arrived. Once it was served, a staff member deboned the pollock right at our table.

They also trimmed the added cuttlefish into easy-to-eat pieces.

Braised pollock is delicious, but deboning it yourself can be a bit of a hassle — having it prepped in advance meant I could just enjoy the meat comfortably. Watching it get prepared right in front of us also made the food feel even more appetizing.

## Sweet-spicy sauce and tender braised pollock

The sauce on the braised pollock was slightly sweet and spicy. It wasn't overly sweet, though — just the right balance of sweet and spicy, which went great with rice.

The pollock meat was also tender, and having the bones pre-removed made it really easy to eat. Piling the sauce-coated pollock onto rice worked really well together.

## How the cuttlefish tastes: soft and springy

The cuttlefish I added on was also delicious. It wasn't tough at all — soft yet chewy in texture, which paired well with the braised pollock.

Rather than just eating pollock the whole time, alternating with cuttlefish in between changed up the texture and made the meal even more enjoyable. And then there was my favorite, siraegi! Eating the sauce-soaked siraegi together with the pollock meat was such a great combination.

If you're ordering braised pollock, I'd definitely recommend adding siraegi.

## Big chunks of radish and crispy pot rice crust

The braised pollock also had generous chunks of radish inside. Having soaked up plenty of sauce, the radish wasn't mushy but kept a crisp, tender texture that was delicious.

It was also fun picking through pollock meat, siraegi, cuttlefish, and radish one by one.

Since we ordered pot rice, the finale had to be the nurungji (scorched rice crust). After enjoying the braised pollock with rice, we finished off the crispy rice left at the bottom of the pot. Ending with warm, nutty nurungji made for a hearty, satisfying finish to dinner.

## A hearty dinner near Hanam Starfield at Appa Jjim

This time, after stopping by Hanam Starfield, I tried the braised pollock at Appa Jjim Main Branch for dinner.

It was great being able to choose from angler fish stew, seafood stew, seafood soup, and braised pollock depending on taste, and to adjust the spice level too. In particular, the braised pollock I had was a great combination of tender pollock meat, sweet-spicy sauce, siraegi, and big chunks of radish — and adding cuttlefish on top made it even more filling.

Above all, having parking right in front and being able to reserve a table made it convenient whether you're driving or visiting on a Friday evening or weekend. If you're looking for a spot for braised pollock, angler fish stew, or seafood stew in Hanam for a hearty dinner after visiting Hanam Starfield, this place is worth a try. Next time, I'd like to try the angler fish stew or seafood stew instead of the braised pollock. :)
