🍚 Jeongnamok Sundaeguk: A Balsan Station Lunch Gem

Highly Recommended For:​

✔︎ Those looking for a fantastic restaurant near Balsan Station

✔︎ Anyone craving a warm, hearty bowl of gukbap

✔︎ Fans of Maksa (Makgeolli + Cider)

My brother and I had just finished our health check-up,

and we were absolutely famished, dreaming of a hearty meal.

So, as soon as the check-up was over, we dashed to the nearest Sundaegukbap place we could find.

We ordered from our table,

and I originally just planned to get Sundaegukbap.

But as I was about to order,

I spotted the 'Sillim Sundae Gopchang Set,' which included one Sundaeguk

and a side of stir-fried vegetable gopchang!?

As a huge gopchang lover, how could I possibly pass that up....

Plus, my brother insisted I get it because he knows how much I love yakgop (vegetable gopchang)... haha!

So, we ordered the Sillim Sundae Gopchang Set, plus one more bowl of clear Sundaeguk.

These were the basic side dishes they served – that's it!

But I noticed there was no dadaegi (spicy seasoning paste) on the table.

So, I asked a staff member for some, and they pointed me to the self-service bar.

The dadaegi was actually at the self-service bar.

So, if you need some, feel free to grab it yourself!

And just so you know, perilla powder was already on the table.

While I was up getting the dadaegi,

I took a moment to check out the self-service bar.

All the basic side dishes were abundantly available at the self-service bar,

so you can definitely get refills if you need more.

But what really caught my eye at the self-service bar was the 'Slush Maksa'!

Although it's called 'Slush Maksa',

it felt more like regular Maksa than a slushie, to be honest!

Anyway, the best part is that this Maksa (Makgeolli + Cider) is completely free to enjoy as much as you want!

After one sip, I could definitely taste the sweetness from the cider – so refreshing!

As I was savoring the Maksa, my clear Sundaeguk arrived before I knew it.

It looked so deliciously milky-white, I thought it would be amazing even without any extra seasoning,

But for Sundaegukbap, you absolutely have to add plenty of chives, lots of salted shrimp paste,

a generous amount of dadaegi, and even more perilla powder – that's how you get the true flavor!

My brother joked that if I was going to add all that, I should've just ordered the spicy version... haha!

But anyway, that's how I created my very own custom Sundaeguk!

The *sundae* (blood sausage) in the *sundae-guk* was just right,

and personally, I absolutely loved how generous they were with the meat!!

It was great to have plenty of ingredients to enjoy with my rice until the very last bite!!

The *sundae* and *tteok* (rice cakes) were delicious!
