As you approach the drum in fascination, a league of Hanbok-clad ladies, lined neatly alongside the wall, will charmingly greet you in melodious Korean. If you love your kimchi, you'll love Hyang-To-Gol for their variety of banchan . There are 3 different kinds of kimchi served, namely the freshly marinated cabbage kimchi, the aged (pickled for at least two weeks) kimchi, and the kakktoge radish kimchi. Together with a tantalising kimchi stew, these are the usual ‘permanent residents' on the banchan list. Some of the must try dishes are:

  • Lospyeonchae(prime beef that is slightly roasted to retain every bit of its juices and tenderness)
