Visits Busan Korea 2014 - Local Food Special Songjeong3dae Gukbap

On the first day of arrival to Busan, we managed to reach Seomyeom from airport in about a 30 mins. We left airport around 5.40 pm and managed to reach our hostel about 6.30 pm - trying to locate the hostel after we got down from the bus in front of Lotte Department Store. We were so tired and hungry.

Upon check-in, we were recommended by the hotel manager Jay to try out the popular Gukbap in Busan. We were told that many people in other parts of Korea travel to Busan to enjoy this special local food. We were told that the Gukbap is rice and pork in soup. Without any hesitation, we followed the direction given by Jay to locate the Gukbap in Jungang-Daero area.

We walked along Jungang-Daero road at at the junction of a Nike store, we turned to the left. The streets has many small stores that sells snacks. We we go further, we reached the Gukbap restaurant.

 There were a few of the Gukbap restaurants. We have chosen the 2nd restaurant which is the one with the signage saying 3rd generation. I am just another typical consumer who thinks that a longer history place and still many are dinning there, something has to be right. So, we decided to go for it.

See the small English wording saying "third-generation", not that we know how to read Korean.

The menu with English, something that we love to see when we enter a restaurant in Busan. It just solve all the problem in ordering :) We ordered the original Dwaejigukbap (Pork Soup with Rice) for 6,000won.

Look left.

Look right, they are all Korean. I guess we were the only Malaysian...which I think they all could have thought that we are from China....tsk tsk tsk!

Here comes out dinner. A complete meal with many side dishes for free. The boss told us that we can refill the soup and side dishes, and no charges if we wish to add more rice. He even teach us how to match the side dishes for the best taste of their gukbap. He sounded very friendly but don't look friendly..hahaha, a busy man maybe.

Pork, pork, lots of pork!!!! Thumb up to the chef, the lady who cook all these at the entrance. 

Being a fan of rice and pork, I give this 10 out of 10. Never tasted pork with such taste, when you combined the sauce, and other dishes together in the soup. 'Like'!!!!

Satisfied until the last drop of the soup! I will be back!!!

A highly recommended restaurant and one of the must try local special food in Busan. For only 6,000won per pax, at first I thought it is expensive but hanging out in Busan for a few days, I find that this restaurant is very reasonable. A tall size Starbucks coffee already cost 6,100won!!! Gukbap can satisfy hunger and thirst better then.
