Samseong Bbalgan Yangnyeomg has been famous for its charcoal-grilled dishes since 1972, and is especially well known for its spicy seasoning made from powdered red pepper, garlic, and ginger. Pork is mixed with the seasoning, giving it the characteristic red color and unique flavor, and then grilled over hot coals. This is the perfect restaurant for spicy food-lovers or those looking for a challenge.
Other dishes include jumulleok (marinated pork) and donggeurangttaeng (batter-fried meatballs). Jumulleok is made by seasoning fresh meat, whereas donggeurangttaeng is made by cutting the frozen meat into small pieces, and then marinating it. Older adults usually prefer jumulleok, while the young prefer donggeurangttaeng.

Insa-dong (인사동), situé en plein centre-ville de Séoul, est un quartier important où des objets traditionnels et précieux sont exposés. Le quartier est composé d’une rue principale et d’allées connexes, où de nombreuses galeries, restaurants, cafés et salons de thés traditionnels sont situés.
Les galeries sont le coeur d’Insa-dong. Il existe environ cent galeries exposant tous types d’art allant de la peinture traditionnelle aux sculptures. Dans les galeries de renom, on retrouve « Hakgojae », considérée comme le poumon du centre des arts folkloriques, « Gana Art », qui promeut les futurs talents et le « centre des arts Gana ».

Les maisons de thé et restaurants traditionnels sont des lieux parfaits pour compléter la visite de ces galeries. Il semble difficile de les repérer en premier lieu, mais prenez le temps d’explorer les allées du quartier et votre séance shopping n’en sera que plus appréciable et intéressante. Les boutiques d’Insa-dong sont très populaires auprès des personnes de tout âge.
Chaque samedi entre 14h00 et 22h00 et le dimanche de 10h00 à 22h00, certaines rues sont bloquées à la circulation, ne rendant la promenade que plus agréable. Certaines boutiques installent des stands face à leur devanture et des particuliers installent régulièrement leur boutique éphémère (vendeurs de confiseries traditionnelles coréennes et liseurs de bonne aventure). La rue laisse également place aux spectacles traditionnels et aux expositions, rendant le lieu très populaire auprès des touristes étrangers. C’est d’ailleurs à Insa-dong que ces derniers peuvent admirer des objets de culture traditionnelle coréenne et acheter des pièces d’art. Le « pajeon », crêpe coréenne traditionnelle, est un met très prisé dans le quartier, il se trouve facilement dans les échoppes et restaurants de la rue où les visiteurs viennent nombreux pour goûter les différentes saveurs proposées par les marchands.

The Moon Guesthouse is situated near a number of interesting tourist destinations including Unhyeongung Palace (3min on foot), Bukchon Hanok Village (5min on foot), Changdeokgung Palace (5min on foot), and Changgyeonggung Palace (10min on foot). The guesthouse was named ‘moon’ (‘door’ in English) because it has many 176 doors and windows. Upon entering by the gate, visitors will see a ‘ㄷ’-shaped hanok building in the courtyard, in which a wooden bedstead and a table are placed. On the opposite of the hanok building there is a wall roofed with tiles engraved with Korean patterns such as deer, pine, turtle, etc. Flowers in the flowerbed lined up along the wall are in bloom and the bonsai are also well-kept in the house. Renovated and opened as a guesthouse in September 2011, Moon Guesthouse consists of a bonchae (main building) and a byeolchae (detached house). The rooms are decorated with red clay and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees), and have under-the-floor heating (ondol). Each room is equipped with an air-conditioner, and has a 40cm-thick layer of red clay over the ceiling for insulation, making the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. The house has seven individual guestrooms and five modern bathrooms, but the entire building (bonchae or byeolchae) can be rented, too. In particular, the unhyeondang of the bonchae is very popular as it can be converted into one large space for special events, group workshops, etc. simply by opening all the sliding doors (Bunhapmun – Goryeo construction style). This room, which is decorated with a flower-patterned windscreen, a landscape painting, and calligraphy, has been used as a shooting location for various TV programs including KBS2’s TV reality program Man’s Qualification and its variety show The Human Condition. The guestrooms are also equipped with traditional furniture including a cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The guesthouse also provides a variety of experience programs from 11am to 3pm, including tea ceremony, wearing Hanbok (traditional Korean clothes), making kimchi and gochujang (red chili paste), playing a traditional musical instrument, making a rubbing of a stone inscription, calligraphy, drawing orchids on a fan, and so on. The house has about seventy hanbok and other clothing accessories, as well as a royal costume. Its calligraphy and drawing orchid programs are run directly by the owner, who used to work as a classical Chinese teacher at a high school.
