Seongsu army stew portions that beat a big-eater friend: Songtan
Songtan Jindaegwang Budae Jjigae Seongsu Branch is a new army stew (budae jjigae) restaurant on the 2nd floor of the shops in front of Lotte Castle Park, near Seongsu Station in Seongdong, Seoul. On a quiet evening the writer and a big-eater friend ordered Jindaegwang budae jjigae for 2 at 13,000 won per person, added assorted sausage and Spam, and drank soju-beer, but the portions were so large they never got to the ramen noodles and still left food behind. The side dishes are a little underwhelming, but the rich broth, generous ham and sausage, unlimited rice and free dessert make Songtan Jindaegwang Budae Jjigae Seongsu Branch worth recommending to Seongsu office workers and big eaters.
