Dabuji Budaejigae

Budaejigae is a left over of the korean war. When faced with either starvation or the need to incorporate food donated by the UN / Gi's into something eatable, supposedly people in busan came up with this interesting dish. Basically its everything thrown in a pan and cooked until a smooth taste develops. Common ingredients are sausage slices, ham (or rather spam), potatoes, beans, bean paste, instant noodles and green onions. Served its normally with rice.

When looking for budaejigae you most likely come across a noolbudaejigae restaurant. They are your standard fare. Acceptable priced with ok taste and you find them virtually everywhere.

However they are nothing special. Neither outstanding tasty nor very cheap.
So from that buildup you must already guess that this post is about a better restaurant. This one:

With 5000 won per person free rice and refill as well as free potato croquettes, again with free refill, this restaurant is significantly cheaper than noolbudaejigae. Oh and one ramyon is 500 won. That aside it also tastes better and has friendlier staff and atmosphere. In other words: definitely worth visiting.




p.s. i updated this post, it now includes the location of this budaejigae restaurant
