Taiwanese food in Seoul: Eat Korean braised pork at Bao Xu Yuan

One afternoon during my trip to Seoul, I suddenly missed Taiwanese food.
I didn't expect to encounter it near Hongdae.

This Taiwanese restaurant run by a Korean uncle - 바오 서울 (包徐苑), is hidden in a low-key building. At first glance, it looks like an art exhibition hall.



- Braised Pork Rice (₩6,500): The aroma wafts in as soon as it is served. The braised pork is minced but not greasy, and the addition of coriander instantly elevates the taste.

- Beef noodles (₩13,000): The soup was beyond expectation! The slightly sour aroma comes from a little bit of vinegar. The overall taste is layered and rich. The beef is braised until soft and tasty. The noodles are thick but have a good bite, a bit like something between sliced ​​noodles and plain noodles.


Transportation:
From Mangwon Station or Hongik University Station, it's about a 10-minute walk. There are also many stylish coffee shops and small bookstores nearby, which are perfect for a half-day trip.


This is not the most authentic Taiwanese dish I have ever eaten, but it is the most thoughtful and nostalgic dish. If you are traveling in a foreign country and suddenly think of the braised pork rice at the corner of your home lane, you might as well come here and have a seat.
