If you want to try traditional spicy food in Korea, I would like to recommend you Sindang-dong tteokbokki. If you arrive at the Sindang-dong tteokbokki town, you can see that there are many restaurants serving tteokbokki. But this time, I would like to introduce you to the original tteokbokki restaurant in this town, Ma Bok-Lim Grandmother's tteokbokki.
This restaurant has been serving tteokbokki since 1953 and it's been introduced through television programs several times. There are many reasons why this restaurant has long been operated and maintaining its popularity. First of all, along with the stew type tteokbokki, they serve various toppings such as ramyeon noodles or boiled eggs and these are mixed well with the tteokbokki. Also, when I asked about the place-of-origin of ingredients, the waitress confidently said that they are using domestic ingredients. I believe these kind of pride drived from the quality have made them more famous.
Another reason why I recommend this restaurant is that you can also ask for to-go and enjoy the food at your home. I hope you like this restaurant and food!
