Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul • Restaurant
Hongneunggak, a Chinese old-style restaurant located in Jegi-dong, has been protected by an elderly couple for many years. They moved to its current location a few years ago. The signature dish here is the meat-filled Yukmigangjajang, which can be ordered from two servings. Personally, I found it a bit bland. Additionally, the fried and stir-fried dishes, especially the sweet and sour shrimp and sweet and sour pork, are highly recommended. Although the elderly couple operates it for only about three and a half hours a day, it is a meaningful place for Chinese cuisine aficionados and is highly recommended to visit at least once.
