Late-night raw garlic jokbal in Suwan, Gwangju: Kkankkan Jjokbal

Kkankkan Jjokbal Suwan Branch is a jokbal (braised pork trotter) restaurant in the Suwan district of Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju. Stopping by late at night with former coworkers, the writer ordered the new spicy Goheung raw garlic jokbal as a single dish, and the complimentary sundubu jjigae (soft tofu stew) and steamed egg arrived in portions far too generous to feel like freebies. Kkankkan Jjokbal is an easy recommendation for garlic lovers looking for a late-night dish to share over drinks.
