Surprised that this dish at this place, one of our family favorites, hasn’t yet been featured on GMTD.

Another prime example of how uninformed/uncreative Korean-Chinese restaurants are, japtangbap is typically the most expensive rice plate on the menu – here, it’s 16,000 won, compared to just 8,000 won for fried rice – and yet the only name that they can think to call it means “mixed (japtang) rice (bap).”  If anything, it should be called “palbochaebap” (see for example 14.023 Palbochae).
