Nongmin Baekam Sundae — Restaurant in Seoul

Stumbled into this restaurant while having a stroll.

I believe it is a traditional farmers meal of sorts. The stew pot inside is mixed with intestine, pork, fat etc.

From observation, there does not seem to be one way of eating the meal. Everyone has their own way of mixing. Some put the rice into the soup, some mixed the vegetable into the rice and pours the soup into the plate together with the rice. Some added a whole bowl of the chilli sauce. Some added the scoops of brown powder from the table into the soup.

anyone else, either the first 2 options should suffice

be informed that this place only serves soondae-guk or just soondae(pork is included in all menu items) so keep that in mind if someone in your group has strict/religious dietary...

Great service and awesome comfort food. As a solo traveller, it’s sometimes trying as either you need to eat and pay for 2 or be rejected by the shop. Despite the long queues, they welcome me and had me seated in a standard table which is a 4 seater (by myself). I was unsure about the menu and pointed at the 18k won item. The server was so kind and gestured no no as I was alone. She gestured the 9k won item is enough. The food was served quickly. There’s no rush by the servers for people to finish their food despite very long queue outside. Highly recommended. Note queue system is by a form on the clip board by the...
