I visited Eomma-ui Bomnal (엄마의 봄날) in Gimpo, a place famous for its neat and delicious Gangwon-do style course meals. The building has a modern look, and since it is located right next to the Gimpo Art Village, the surroundings are very pleasant.

Since this is a very popular restaurant, there is a 'Catch Table' kiosk for waiting registration. I arrived right at the opening time, so I was able to enter immediately without any wait.

I ordered the 'Donggang-jeongsik' (동강정식) course. The meal began with a variety of appetizers that showcased the unique flavors of Gangwon Province.

Next, Nokdu-dak(녹두닭) was served. It consisted of a tender chicken leg and savory mung bean porridge, which offered a very unique taste.

The Myeongtae-muchim Bossam(명태무침보쌈) was also excellent. Placing a piece of Myeongtae-muchim(명태무침) on top of the Bossam(보쌈) made for a perfect bite.

The Ongsimi Tangsuyuk(옹심이 탕수육) was also delicious. At first, I thought it was mushroom, but the chewy texture was delightful.

For the main course, Siraegi-bap(시래기밥) and Gamja-ongsimi(감자옹심이) were served. Mixing the rice with soy sauce created a savory flavor.

To finish the meal, Gamja-tteok(감자떡) was served as dessert. It was chewy and satisfying, even though I was already very full.

The interior was decorated with charming props like bears and deer, creating a warm Christmas vibe.

After lunch, I visited the nearby Gimpo Art Village Art Center(김포아트빌리지 아트센터). Admission is free, and I enjoyed a beautiful media art exhibition inside.
