[Food Map] Korean Foodie-Daegu, 'Tteokbokki': Old Market Tteokbokki Restaurant

Jungang-tteokbokki is a tteokbokki restaurant in Daegu, South Korea that you can't miss if you're traveling for tteokbokki. 

It has a very long history, and most Daegu, South Korea people remember eating it at least once when they went out to Dongseong-ro as a child.

One of the most famous chefs in Korea, Baek Jong-won, visited this famous tteokbokki restaurant and it became even more famous nationwide. 

As a result, there are always a lot of people on weekdays, and there are still lines on weekends.

In fact, tteokbokki is a much-loved food in Korea, and its unique spicy-sweet flavor is so addictive that no one can resist. 

As a result of its popularity, many franchises have sprung up over the years, and the flavors have become stronger and more stimulating.

But even among these modern versions of Tteokbokki, we took the time to savor the flavors to find out what makes Jungang-Tteokbokki so appealing and popular.

The flavor of Jungang-Tteokbokki is just as it looks: 'old market style tteokbokki'. 

However, instead of the usual gochujang flavor, it has a slightly sharp flavor with chili seed oil and a reduced ratio of gochujang, so it has a very clean aftertaste. 

If you eat conventional tteokbokki, the aftertaste is strongly flavored with gochujang and leaves a slight tangy aftertaste, but it has the advantage of maintaining the market tteokbokki flavor without this disadvantage. 

It's also special because it's rice tteokbokki with sputum tteok, not the usual wheat tteokbokki. 

The flat dumplings are also delicious because they are served with just the right amount of tteokbokki soup. 

There are so many different and powerful tteokbokki franchises, so I can't really say that it's a great taste, but I think the secret of its popularity is that it has a clean taste while sticking to the position of 'market tteokbokki' that people remember.
