The holiday season and winter are all about feel-good comfort food. The team at Dojeon has found the perfect restaurant for this cold magical month. Read on for all the delicious mouth-watering details!
There are without a doubt there is not a shortage of restaurants to visit in Seoul, however Gaesong Traditional Dumpling House Koong is a specialist dumpling restaurant that has been open in Insa-dong for over thirty years, and therefore it is not to be missed!
The restaurants Gaesong style dumpling are big with thin dumpling skins that show the inside of the dumplings. A great thing is the dumplings stuffing's, which contain a mixture of tofu, pork, cabbage, mung bean sprouts and garlic, some of which are packed with broth. I have to say that I found the chewiness of the dumplings are charming in itself.
I also found that the artisan-made dumplings which were displayed by the window of the restaurant made it inviting and it offered a feel of home-cooked nostalgia. The dumpling hot pot with light dumplings and a simple soup with peanut-shaped rice cakes were also very popular menu items when I visited. These were some of the freshest and best flavors that I have ever tasted in a dumpling, and they were worth the wait!
