Baekban

2.5

at Jangheung Sikdang

-Seongsu, Seongdong, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

solo

Jangheung Sikdang is a Korean restaurant.

At lunch time, the restaurant offers baekban. The spread includes a bowl of rice + soup + “main” + 6 banchan, all fluctuating daily.  5,500 won.  Unlimited refills on everything, except rice at 1,000 won per additional bowl.

The food is okay.  On the level of what might be expected at home under the hand of a cook who’s competent but doesn’t bother to buy expensive ingredients.

I come here for lunch when I really don’t care.

Above shows the baekban spread today.
