Apbaengdi Sikdang (앞뱅디식당)

Meogeultende’s reviewHighly recommended

“The gakjaegi-guk and mel twigim are perfect for curing a hangover and as drinking snacks”

• Gakjaegi-guk (Jeju scad soup)BestA hangover soup with a fatal charm for drinkers
• Mel Twigim (fried small anchovies)Eaten whole, head and all, it is nutty and the sauce is good
• Gosari Yukgaejang (bracken and beef stew)Jeju style, thick with little broth, and goes well with kimchi

Service

The braised fish and grilled mackerel come as complimentary dishes

Would return

A return visit after last year; the host says they want to introduce it again

Good for

Hangover cure, drinking sessions, a meal before heading to the airport

Tips

• Be sure to try the gakjaegi-guk, mel twigim, and grilled mackerel
• Visit at lunchtime; it is great for curing a hangover
• Eating the mel twigim whole, bones and all, by hand makes it even nuttier
