Discover Seoul’s Hidden Gem: Authentic Baek Sundae in Sillim-dong 순대타운

Craving a taste of authentic Korean street food in a nostalgic setting? Look no further than Sillim-dong Sundae Town (신림동 순대타운) in Seoul! Recently, I had the chance to revisit this iconic food haven, a place filled with memories from my younger days. Stepping into 순대타운 is like stepping back in time, yet it’s also vibrant and bustling with locals and food enthusiasts.

Rediscovering the Taste of Memory at Sillim-dong Sundae Town

My destination for the day was 전라도 별장 (Jeollado Villa), a restaurant within the 순대타운 known for its delicious Baek Sundae (백순대). It’s been years since my last visit, and I was excited to see how the place had changed – or stayed wonderfully the same. Despite some modern updates, the heart of 순대타운 remains: a maze of small, family-run restaurants all specializing in Sundae dishes, particularly Baek Sundae.

Walking up the stairs to 전라도 별장, I felt a familiar excitement. The friendly greeting upon entering immediately made me feel welcome. The menu is simple, focusing on two main types of Sundae: Baek Sundae and Yangnyeom Sundae (spicy Sundae). We opted for the classic Baek Sundae, of course, with a portion for three people.

What is Baek Sundae?

For those unfamiliar, Baek Sundae is a unique style of Sundae (Korean sausage) that’s stir-fried on a large iron griddle. Unlike typical blood sausage Sundae, Baek Sundae is made with glass noodles, vegetables, and various seasonings, giving it a lighter and cleaner taste. The magic of Baek Sundae lies in its preparation and the dipping sauces. It’s cooked right at your table with an assortment of vegetables, including perilla leaves, cabbage, and onions, and often includes Gopchang (intestines) for added flavor and texture.

The dipping sauce is a crucial element – a savory blend of sesame oil, salt, and other seasonings that perfectly complements the mild and flavorful Sundae. Each bite is a delightful combination of chewy Sundae, crispy vegetables, and the nutty, savory sauce. 전라도 별장 offers generous portions and refills on side dishes, making it incredibly satisfying and budget-friendly.

Why 전라도 별장 Stands Out

While many restaurants in 순대타운 offer similar menus, 전라도 별장 stands out for its consistently delicious food and warm hospitality. The owner’s friendly demeanor and passion for Baek Sundae are evident, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. It’s no surprise that this restaurant has been featured on popular Korean food programs and is loved by locals and visitors alike.

What makes 순대타운 and restaurants like 전라도 별장 so special is the nostalgic atmosphere. It’s a place that evokes memories of youth, student days, and affordable, delicious meals shared with friends. Even though times have changed, the charm of enjoying a hearty plate of Baek Sundae in this bustling, unpretentious environment remains timeless.
