[Experience]
During the journey, there are always some small shops that are not in the itinerary but become the highlights of memories. This "구제주포차" located in the old Jeju city is one of the surprises that we unexpectedly discovered during this trip to Jeju.
That night, we originally just wanted to find a place to have a simple midnight snack, and accidentally walked around this seemingly ordinary little canteen near Dongmun Market. The sign reads "구제주포차" in large letters, and the red lights seem to be waving to night travelers. There are also several groups of locals chatting enthusiastically at the door, making people want to get in and experience it.
As soon as you walk into the store, it seems as if time has gone back to the roadside stalls in Korea in the 1980s and 1990s. The overall layout is full of nostalgia, and the walls are covered with retro Korean posters and idol signatures, as if every inch of the space has a story. There is no gorgeous decoration, but it is full of human touch and fireworks.
We ordered a plate of spicy stir-fried rice cakes, a plate of fried rice, and a cold beer. The dishes were served unexpectedly fast. The red sauce of the rice cakes was still bubbling slightly on the iron plate, which made people's appetites grow. The sauce of the spicy rice cakes was the traditional sweet and spicy flavor. The rice cakes were chewy and tasty. At the end, I felt like I had accidentally eaten the whole plate. The fried rice was fried with leftover sauce and seaweed. The rice crust was full of aroma, the rice grains were distinct, and every bite had a strong wok flavor. It was simple but amazing.
As for beer, it was of course the perfect match. A mouthful of cold foam immediately cooled the spiciness in my mouth and cured the fatigue of the whole night. From time to time, laughter and "건배 (cheers)" from the next table came from me, making me unconsciously integrate into the late-night rhythm of Jeju.
Although this store is not big and is not a popular check-in hotspot for Internet beauties, the charm of "being conquered as soon as you walk in" is really hard to describe in words. This is not a famous restaurant that you will make a special trip to visit, but it is a place that you will miss again and again after you come back. The atmosphere, taste and mood of that night are interwoven into the most real and charming travel memories.
If you come to Jeju to experience how locals spend their nightlife, or simply want to find a place to relax and eat some hot food without going to a high-end restaurant, then "구제주포차" is definitely worth a visit. Even a simple plate of rice cakes and fried rice can make you feel the enthusiasm and warmth of this island. 🌶🍚🍺
