  Hamjibak Cheese, Grilled Back Ribs

 

Today's main menu is Stir-Fried Rice Cake with Cheese and Hamburg Steak (함박치즈떡볶이_Hamburg Cheese Tteokbokki)! 
Have you heard of Tteokbokki? It is one of the most popular and famous Korean food. Tteokbokki can be explained as Stir-Fried Rice Cake. When I was young, I had it all the time after school! It's cheap and yummy, so I believe it's "nataional student food" in Korea!

Tteokbokki that I am going to introduce to you is more than just simple Tteokbokki. It's with Cheese and Hamburg Steak together. As you know, Korean food is known for spicy food. I also love spicy food but I am not good at eating spicy food... So I really love this type of spicy food with Cheese and extra topping together. It's less spicy! 

 Let's go to the restaurant now!

Today is -5 degree, but sunny day!

This place was introduced by TV food program. It does not always guarantee the place, but I thought at least it's worth to try! (It was excellent choice!)
 

 In TV program



This is what we are going to eat today!

I couldn't find menu attached on the wall in this restaurant. I was looking for the menu for a while actually. The menu was hidden inside of drawer. Do you know that in Korea silverware and napkin are nornally "hidden" inside of drawer? Each table has a drawer :) Also, do you see the round button on the table? It's to call waiter/waitress. You don't need to call out someone. Just push the button! These are very common things in most of restaurant. 



Let me explain you menu!  
(If you click the photo, you can read the menu in bigger size.)

There are many different menu with spicy seasoned meat with cheese. If you visit this place in a big group, I recommend you to try different dishes as well, besides Tteokbokki. This restaurant is actaully famous for Cheese Grilled Back Ribs, as the name of restaurante is Hamjibak Cheese, Grilled Back Ribs. That dish was popular last yer or few years ago in Seoul, as I remember. 
However, now I guess this Tteokbokki menu become more famous. At wherever you try, it doesn't matter, but Cheese Grilled Back Ribs is also very tasty Korean food! :)

These are the list of extra topping menu and drinks. You can add more toppings, whatever you want, but with EXTRA cost :) I personally recommen you Rice Balls with Flying Fish Roe or Flying Fish Roe Fried Rice.

Let's go check side dishes!

Cabbage salad with apple dressing

Onion pickle

Cucumber pickle

Not so many side dishes, huh? Yes, I agree.

But the main dish won't let you down ;)

 Jutako's order : Hamburg Cheese Tteokbokk for 2 people

+ Rice Balls with Flying Fish Roe for 1 person

Let's eat Rice Balls with Flying Fish Roe first!

1. Wear the plastic gloves

2. Mix the ingredient evenly

3. Roll it like ball!

It's time to check our today' s main menu, Hamburg Cheese Tteokbokki!

Do you see the Cheese? lol

You can keep warming it up on your table

After few minutes, it start boiling. LIKE THIS!

 Then a staff will come and help you to cut the hamburg steak on the top of the grill pan. Be patient and watch the food!

Look at the Cheese!

Let me show you what's inside!

How was today's dish? I hope you enjoyed as well. It looks quite spicy, right? But It wasn't spicy at all. It was just right spicy, even though I barely can eat spicy food. If you want to try Tteokbokki, try this place! It's still taste like original Tteokbokki, but more fun to eat with special toppings, Cheese and Hamburg steak!

[EAT_NON-TRADITIONAL] 8. Pizza Dakgalbi_Spicy Grilled Chicken with Pizza Topping_.피자 닭갈비

  Restaurant Name

 꼬꼬댁갈비_Cock a doodle doo

 

Korea Spicy Grilled Chicken(닭갈비_Dakgalbi) is very famous to foreigners. I am sure at least Asian tourists know well about it, DAKGALBI! "닭_dak" means "Chicken" and "갈비_galbi" means "rib." This food has nothing with "rib" but it's named like that.

Chuncheon is one of the cities in Korea and famous for Dakgalbi. I don't think you need to go to Chuncheon only for Dakgalbi... It's quite far away from Seoul. So today I would like to tell you where in Seoul you can have yummy dakgalbi, instead of going to Chunchoen! I found a fusion Dakgalbi restaurant :) The name of place is....Cock a doodle doo!

outside viwe of restaurant



English name and Korean name do not match, in terms of translation. But I think boths of them are quite creative names! I like them. The restaurant is located in the middle of Gangnam area and it is a new place even to me. As I said last time, there are tons of different restaurants in Gangnam. Sometimes... too much choices give us difficult time, right? Then refer to my blog for your best choice :)



Lucky to me, they were holding a event. I could have 2 people servings of Pizza Dakgalbi and a bottle of Banana alcohol drink! (Wonderful!) I actually came for Pizza Dakgalbi, so I chose this option without any hesitation.



Waiting seats



Christmas interior



Have I told you what's so special about this restaurant? They have not only original dakgabi, but also FUSION dakgalbi! You can try Cheese dakgalbi and Pizza dakgalbi. I think these types of fusion dakgabi is recentrly becoming famous in Korea. Before... we normally ate original one or eat it with a little bit of Cheese topping. That's it.     

Let's go check the menu first!

As my research, this restaurant's best dish is "Pizza dakgalbi." What is Pizza dakgalbi? Instead of using pizza dough, this restaurant use dakgalbi. They put some pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese on top of dakgalbi.

 Few free side dishes

Wet tissue

I am not sure if you already know about this wet tissue. It's so funny. First it looks like thick coin, but it become a wet tissue, when you put it in water! I was not supposed to put the tissue in my plate... haha Anyway it was quite interesting! My boyfriend was even amazed, because it never even heard of it before :)

Salad

Garlic, sesame leaf , and soybean paste

Pickled radish

You can eat dakgalbi with Pickled radish, or sesame leaf together! These are common ways of eatting meat in Korea.

Free tortilla and some sauces!

You can also try to eat it with tortilla together. Tortialla and dakgalbi together was very nice combination!! It's not a common way to eat it in this way but I strongly recommend it to you!

Salad bar

Sauce's on top of salad bar

There is a salad bar in the corner, so you can refill vegetables and nachos as much as you want.

Let's eat!

Main menu! Pizza dakgalbi!

It looks like pizza very much, isn't it?

Quite big portion of cheese!

Taste? Super good! I like pizza very much but I can't eat very much, becuase at some point I feel like it's a bit too oily. However, this pizza dakgalbi is spicy as well, so I could really enjoy it until the end! I really liked it.

Induction cooking heater

  

Another good thing that I really liked about this restaurant is that each table has each induction cooking heater. So you can have your food warm until you finish your last bite! So cool! You can't see well through my photo, but the cheese was bubbling and boiling until the end!

Let's have few bites!

With sesame leaf

With tortilla

With nacho

In a lot of Korean restaurants, we can order fried rice and eat it with leftover. I ordered two people servings of fried rice! I was already very full with main dish though... :) 

Let's make fried rice!

Almost done cooking

Ready to eat!

 As part of this event, I also got a bottle of brand new alcohol drink, BANANA drink. In Korea, you can easily find lots of fruit drinks :) Not too strong, but still have some alcohol in it. I personally didn't like this banana drink. But I think you should try this type of fruit drink in Korea! I mean... if you can drink some alcohol!  

Banana drink

Special yellow cup for banana drink. So cute!

Jutako's recommendation_Pizza dakgalbi & fried rice

15,000 KRW per one person

I didn't have high expectation of this place at the beginning, however the taste of Pizza dakgalbi was more than I expected! If you like to try Korean fustion food with chicken, then try this place! Price is not so expensive I think. Enjoy!
