Gongdeok Station - Twigim
Twigim, or Korean style tempura, is often sold on the street and made with shrimp, octopus, sweet potato, dumplings, and seaweed and noodle rolls.Tucked away in an alley near Gongdeok Ogeori, this area is also known for jokbal (pig’s feet) and bindaetteok. In fact, although the most popular restaurant’s name is Won-jo Mapo Halmoni Bindaetteok, the endless assortment of twigim will probably be the thing that impresses you the most. The restaurant, which has been around for 25 years, has been featured on a variety of TV broadcasts and is a neighborhood institution.Here, you can easily find over 20 varieties of twigim and jeon, ranging from the usual suspects to more interesting combinations such as whole boiled eggs, crab with onion and spam (typical during Korean holidays), and hot peppers. You can pick and choose the twigim that you want to eat before going into the restaurant, or for the indecisive, the restaurant offers a modeum-twigim or modeumjeon option, which gives you a representative selection (both are 7,000 won for the small or 14,000 won for the large portion). There’s even a mixed option that gives you both twigim and jeon (14,000 won). As with jeon, most people like to pair their twigim with a bottle of makgeolli.Go to Gongdeok Station (line No. 5, exit 5) and walk straight about 100 meters. To make sure you’re going the right direction, you should walk past a Qook and Show store and a Blue Club Hair Shop.
