Kkulppang (꿀빵, honey bread)
Korea is a foodie paradise, and while you can get by very nicely on bibimbap and bulgogi, there’s so much more to discover. Here’s some of the treats you must discover on your Tongyeong trip.
“This sticky treat comes in a variety of types, all with sweet bean paste in the middle. Remember to ask for a lot of napkins.” There were loads of shops and stalls on the harbour front that were selling these.
Meonggae (sea squirt) Bibimbap (멍게비빔밥)
You can get meonggae bibimbap at a place on the road which leads to Yonghwasa on Mireukdo, almost next to the Jeon Hyuck-lim art museum.
Sea squirts come a bright orange colour, and they look pretty ugly. It’s therefore good, for those who are squeamish in this way, to have them ready chopped up in little pieces. The sea squirt in this particular bibimbap was still icy-cold, the fragments of ice giving a crispness to the texture. Mixed with hot rice, the whole dish tasted of the sea.
Chungmu Kimbap (충무 김밥)
You get this in plastic packets in motorway service stations, but having it fresh from a kimbap jib in Tongyeong’s harbour, right by the replicas of Yi Sun-shin’s turtle ships, is a preferable experience. Chungmu is the name of a town that was absorbed into Tongyeong in 1994, and also the posthumous name given to great generals such as national hero Yi Sun-shin.
With most kimbap the laver contains vegetables, fish or kimchi along with the rice, but with Chungmu kimbap it’s just rice. The rice is served hot, and the restaurant wraps the laver round it, and serves it with spicy baby octopus (꼴뚜기 무침) and a radish kimchi (무김치), with a side order of soup. Eat with plenty of soju for a quick snack in between concerts at the Tongyeong International Music Festival only 10 minutes walk away.
Dodarissukguk (도다리쑥국: flounder and mugwort soup)
The mild taste of the fish was offset by the fragrant herb for a very tasty dish, to be eaten any time of day.
Oysters (굴)
If you catch a boat to any of Tongyeong’s outlying islands you can’t miss all the oyster farms – and Tongyeong is said to produce 70% of Korea’s oysters. So it’s the obvious seafood to eat when visiting.
The same article from Bobby McGill in Seoul Magazine recommends guljeon (굴전: oyster pancakes, above) and gulbap (굴밥: bibimbap with oysters, below). Something to try next time.
