Daehak-ro poke shop before a play: pepper chicken bowl, Sallering

In short

Sallering Daehak-ro is a salad shop serving Korean-style bibim poke (mixed rice bowls) near Exit 2 of Hyehwa Station in Jongno, Seoul. Before seeing a play in Daehak-ro, the writer had a solo lunch of pepper chicken breast bibim poke on a 100g brown rice base; the chicken was tender with no gamey smell and kept the writer full for a long time. For a light but filling solo meal in Daehak-ro, Sallering Daehak-ro is a good fit.

Why Sallering Daehak-ro for lunch on a play day

Sallering Daehak-ro is a bibim poke shop a 2–3 minute walk from Exit 2 of Hyehwa Station. I had come to Daehak-ro to see a play, and lunchtime lined up, so I went looking for something light that would still fill me up.

It's close to the station so it's easy to find, and I like salads and poke anyway, so I come here often.

Pepper chicken breast bibim poke on 100g brown rice: flavor and fullness

Today's pick at Sallering Daehak-ro was the pepper chicken breast bibim poke.

I chose the 100g brown rice base for my pepper chicken breast bibim poke.

I tried the pepper chicken breast topping first, and there was no gamey smell at all. It's super tender.

The pepper seasoning is subtle, and the bowl is packed with brown rice, fresh leafy greens, corn and quail eggs, so it's perfect for scooping up with a spoon.

I added dressing to taste and mixed it all together, and it felt like eating a really good Korean bibimbap. When I eat only vegetables I get hungry fast, but with the brown rice and chicken breast, the fullness lasted a really long time.
