Iconic dinner table of Gyeongsang-do

Being asked to pick a favorite food, regardless of age and sex, the first answer would be jajangmyeon with one voice. Since it is popular, there are Chinese restaurants selling the food everywhere, but it is not easy to find a right place enough to call "the real tasty restaurant." However, when it comes to Gyeongsang-do, things are different in this aspect. The restaurants most loved by residents of Gyeongsang-do turned out to be Chinese restaurants. Moreover, they showed unwavering support for jajangmyeon and jjamppong to such an extent that two out of top 5 restaurants in the region were Chinese restaurants. If you have a chance to visit Gyeongsang-do, try a Chinese restaurant nearby.

Iconic dinner table of Jeolla-do

Jeolla-do is famous for its matchless gastronomic wealth, in particular, with Bibimbap or Korean table d'hote. To our great surprise, Pyedaguitang (spicy pork rib stew) was ranked high in the list. Apparently, this seems to be a dish that would not be easily chosen by people making a trip to this region. Moreover, it was interesting to see that some premium dishes such as puffer fish or Modumhoe (assorted sliced raw fish) were ranked high. When visiting Jeolla-do, it will be a nice idea to try some uncommon menu items and not always the typical dish like Korean table d'hote. When it comes to flavor, this will be surely guaranteed because local people of Jeolla-do have a highly sophisticated palate and selected the menu items.

Iconic dinner table of Jeju-do

In Jeju-do frequently visited by tourists, it is difficult to find some restaurants where only local people go. Fortunately, some restaurants successfully satisfy not only the palates of tourists but also preference of local people. They have something in common. They lead in the megatrend of fusion food combined between specialty of Jeju Island and the Western style food such as pasta, pork rib and pork cutlet. If you expand your options of just trying gogi guksu(pork noodle), grilled black pork and omegi tteok you will be able to enjoy a wider range of dishes in Jeju-do.
