Due to popular demand Mindong Korean Gourmet finally opened up its second location after 10 years in the business. Just because celebrities and showbiz people are regulars at Mindong, it doesn’t mean that it must be an expensive restaurant. To the contrary it serves quality Korean food with the most affordable price. Different from the original location this new Mindong is positioned as an izakaya which is commonly known as a drinking bar. The capacity is about 80 people. What remains true at Mindong is the famous delicious Korean cuisine. First off, Mindong is proud to introduce troops hotpot ﹙NT600﹚and you won’t find it anywhere else in Taiwan but Mindong. This unique dish was invented during the Cold War when the U.S. troops were stationed in Korea and there was a constant shortage of food supply. No one could have foreseen the popularity of this hotpot today. Korean civilians cooked spam collected from the U.S. army base along with watercress, cheese, kimchi, rice cake and glass noodle in beef broth. If you prefer spicy food, you can always ask for extra chili peppers in the broth. When the hotpot is nearly empty, be sure to throw in Korean ramen and eat it while it’s hot! Troop’s hotpot from Mindong is going to be the hottest dish this winter season!

If you come into Mindong after dinner Korean chicken gizzard ﹙NT200﹚and beef tendons ﹙NT480﹚will complement any alcoholic beverage of your choice. You may have visited many Korean restaurants in the past but Mindong Korean Gourmet is sure to stand out among all!

在台灣耕耘十年有成的明洞館在東區開了第二家,別以為演藝圈名人喜歡光顧的餐廳一定是非常昂貴,殊不知明洞館是高貴不貴。有別於一館,二館以八十多個座位的居酒屋呈現,不變的是家喻戶曉的韓國美食。首先要介紹的是全台灣只有明洞館獨家推出的部隊鍋﹙600元﹚,這個特殊的料理是當年在糧食嚴重短缺的情形下而產生,如今也成為一道傳統的韓國美食。韓國人將美軍基地所剩的豬肉罐頭搭配水芹菜、起士、泡菜、冬粉和年糕,加入牛骨湯頭煮成一鍋色香味俱全的家常菜。喜歡重口味的可以要求調整辣度,當鍋內所剩無幾時,再下一份韓國拉麵,更是過癮!明洞館的部隊鍋絕對是今年冬天最熱門的鍋類料理!

既是居酒屋,必要有下酒菜。韓式雞胗﹙200元﹚必須搭配由海鹽、香油和芝麻混成的沾醬,讓人一口接一口,捨不得停下來。牛筋﹙480元﹚經過長時間的燉煮,入口即化,沾一點韓式黃芥末,味道更甜美!明洞館的韓國美食就是和別人不一樣!
