Ruwon City pollock restaurant, mild meal after moving: Hangsangcharim

Hangsangcharim Kodari Myeongga Ruwon City Branch is a kodari and braised pollock Korean restaurant in Ruwon City, Seohae, Incheon, near Gajeong Station. The day after moving, on a Saturday early evening, the writer ordered braised pollock for two (37,000 won) at the mild level, described as about as hot as Shin Ramyun, with nutritious stone-pot rice (3,000 won); staff deboned the fish, and there was a banchan (side dish) self-serve bar, unlimited japchae (glass noodles) and free puffed rice snacks. Hangsangcharim Kodari Myeongga serves sweet-and-spicy braised pollock with adjustable heat, the kind that makes you want two bowls of rice even when you have no appetite.
