I recently had dinner at 성산 장인의집 in Jeju, a local gem known for its delicious Mandu and soups. The restaurant is run by a renowned local aunty, adding a touch of authenticity and warmth to the experience. The menu is concise but focused, offering a select few items done exceptionally well.

I went with the 35k and it comes with dumplings and noodles as well. It is too much food for one person but it is so good that I ate up everything. You got to try it if you...
