Jeukseok Ddeokbokki

2.5

at Ddeokbokki Jip

-Bokjeong, Sujeong, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea-

with W and IZ

Another round of pool followed by dinner (see most recently 17.032 Buja Jjambbong), this time at Pooljang, joined by W.

Located 784 m from SIS – a rare establishment, anywhere in Korea, that specializes exclusively in pool (among 3 billiard halls in Wirye,1 place has 1 pool table).

Ddeokbokki Jip is a Korean restaurant.  Offers but a single dish: the eponymous ddeokbokki, jeukseok-style, with various add-ons at additional charge.

Located in the building next door to Poolzang.

It was fine.  Perhaps the most fully loaded ddeokbokki in my experience: rice cakes + fish cakes + squid + bean sprouts + cabbage + scallions in its base form (15,000 for 3 servings), plus ramyeon noodles (+2,000) + shaved beef (+5,000) + boiled egg (+700) – not a bad deal at 22,700.  Fun meal.

Slow food, taking over 15 minutes before ready to eat.
