Myungga Sotttukkeong: A Great Stop After Hyuaeri
Last weekend, I visited Hyuaeri Natural Living Park to see the flowers in bloom. After walking around the spacious park, I got hungry quickly and searched for a nearby restaurant.
We found a great place known for thick black pork and fresh vegetables grilled on a lid, making it perfect for a hearty dinner with the kids. It took about 15 minutes by car from Hyuaeri to reach Myungga Sotttukkeong.
It’s also conveniently located near Seogwipo Olle Market, Jeongbang Waterfall, and Saeyeongyo Bridge, all within about a 5-minute drive. The restaurant has ample parking space, so we could enter without worrying about parking.
Clean, Spacious Interior and Family-Friendly Seating
Upon entering, I was greeted by a bright and clean atmosphere. The warm beige wallpaper created a cozy feeling, and the neatly arranged tables inspired confidence.
The restaurant is spacious and divided into several areas. There’s a small playroom, which is great for families with young children, and there are also group seating areas suitable for gatherings.
Black Pork and Side Dishes That Start the Meal Strong
After a long day at Hyuaeri, I was extremely hungry. As soon as we sat down, we ordered a variety of black pork cuts and a refreshing dongchimi noodle dish.
Before the meat arrived, several side dishes were served. The tangy seaweed salad was especially appetizing, and the sweet-and-salty stir-fried pumpkin was hard to stop eating. These carefully prepared banchan made it easy to understand why locals recommend this place.
Next, a generous serving of kimchi, fernbrake, and radish salad arrived—ready to be grilled with the meat later. The variety and quantity already felt satisfying even before the main dish arrived.
Thick, Bright-Red Cuts: The Moment the Meat Arrives
As the grill heated up, the long-awaited meat appeared. The bright red color signaled quality, and the thick cuts raised my expectations even higher.
How to Enjoy It: Meljeot Sauce and a Full Grill of Veggies
I started by placing a small bowl of meljeot sauce in the center of the grill. Adding sliced garlic and Cheongyang peppers and letting it simmer removed any fishy taste and left a deep umami flavor. This sauce truly boosted the richness of the meat.
When grilling, gently shaking the meat helps prevent it from sticking. Surrounding it with prepared vegetables also makes the grill look amazing and adds to the fun.
With onions, mushrooms, pork skin, rice cakes, kimchi, and bean sprouts piled high, the grill felt packed—in the best way. The aroma of meat mixed with spicy kimchi was irresistible.
After grilling the pork belly on high heat, the first bite was a juicy burst that made me pause. I recommend trying it first with just a touch of salt, because the fat-to-lean balance tastes rich and clean.
Pairing it with spicy scallion salad cuts through the richness beautifully. And the fernbrake + black pork combination was unexpectedly great—my kids, who usually avoid greens, even enjoyed the grilled fernbrake.
Don’t forget the meljeot dip with a slice of Cheongyang pepper. The salty, spicy, and savory mix creates a satisfying punch of flavor.
Refreshing Finish: Dongchimi Noodles and Doenjang Stew
The dongchimi noodles arrived at the perfect time. The icy broth with cucumber and young radish kimchi looked incredibly refreshing, and one sip cleared my palate nicely.
When I ordered rice, a generous doenjang stew came out as a complimentary dish. It felt surprisingly substantial for a free side, with plenty of ingredients inside.
Overall Impression: A Hearty Family Meal Near Seogwipo
From the high-quality black pork to the variety of grilled vegetables and thoughtful banchan, the meal felt generous and satisfying. If you’re looking for a warm, filling family dinner near Hyuaeri and Seogwipo attractions, Myungga Sotttukkeong is easy to recommend.
