Hello!

This is Taetae Mom.

Recently, I visited Seongsu-dong and discovered a truly charming Chinese restaurant!

It's called Jeonja Bang Seongsu branch.

Seongsu-dong is filled with pretty cafes and stylish eateries.

On that day, I was craving something a bit more special for lunch.

I was introduced to this restaurant where I could enjoy dishes infused with the personality of a famous chef.

Additionally, I learned that it's known as a restaurant NCT's Haechan ordered from on YouTube, which piqued my curiosity even more.

Today, I'll introduce the dishes I enjoyed at Jeonja Bang in Seongsu-dong: Eggplant Mapo Tofu, Egg Fried Rice, Lemon Cream Shrimp, and Tsingtao beer.

If you're looking for a special dining spot near Seongsu Station, pay attention!

1. A Stylish Chinese Restaurant Found in Seongsu-dong Alleys

Seongsu-dong is an enjoyable neighborhood to explore, with trendy cafes and unique shops that make walking around feel delightful.

I wanted to enjoy a slightly different meal, so I visited Jeonja Bang!

I loved that I could enjoy special dishes rather than just the usual Chinese restaurant menu.

It seems like a great place to stop by when you're out on a date in Seongsu-dong or hanging out with friends and craving something delicious.

2. Special Chinese Dishes by a Famous Chef, Full of Expectations!

Jeonja Bang is a restaurant known for offering dishes by a famous chef.

Typically, when we think of Chinese food, we picture Jajangmyeon or Jjamppong, but the menu here is a bit different.

Dishes like Eggplant Mapo Tofu and Lemon Cream Shrimp caught my eye as they are familiar yet special.

Especially after hearing that it was featured on NCT's Haechan's YouTube channel, my anticipation grew even more.

We ordered:

✔ Eggplant Mapo Tofu & Egg Fried Rice

✔ Lemon Cream Shrimp

✔ Tsingtao

Once we chose our dishes, I was already feeling happy.

3. The Combination of Savory Egg Fried Rice and Rich Eggplant Mapo Tofu is Irresistible!

The dish I was most looking forward to at Jeonja Bang was the Eggplant Mapo Tofu & Egg Fried Rice!

As someone who loves eggplant, I was excited as soon as I saw the menu.

The soft and moist eggplant combined with the rich Mapo sauce created a spicy and deep umami flavor.

The tofu melted smoothly in my mouth, while the eggplant soaked in the seasoning became increasingly appealing.

And we can't forget the savory Egg Fried Rice! The fluffy rice combined with the lightness of the egg was delicious on its own, but topped with the rich Mapo sauce, it became a fantastic combination.

The spicy Mapo sauce and savory fried rice together made it hard to put down my spoon!

4. Lemon Cream Shrimp, Sweet and Zesty with a Twist!

Next up was the Lemon Cream Shrimp!

As a fan of cream shrimp, I couldn't pass it up.

Crispy shrimp paired with creamy sauce looked so appetizing.

Taking a bite, I first tasted the rich and sweet cream, followed by a refreshing hint of lemon.

The smoothness of the cream sauce combined with the zesty lemon flavor was addictive!

5. A Glass of Tsingtao with Chinese Food, Can't Resist This Combination!

A refreshing beer is a must when enjoying delicious Chinese dishes.

So we ordered Tsingtao!

Sipping on the cold beer with crispy Lemon Cream Shrimp was a perfect match.

Especially after enjoying the rich and spicy Mapo Tofu, drinking the refreshing Tsingtao felt invigorating.

6. Reasons to Recommend for Dates and Friend Gatherings in Seongsu-dong

Seongsu-dong has many great restaurants, but sometimes it can be hard to decide where to eat.

At Jeonja Bang, I appreciated that I could enjoy a menu with a unique twist on familiar Chinese ingredients.

After a fulfilling meal with Eggplant Mapo Tofu and Egg Fried Rice, sharing the Lemon Cream Shrimp made for a truly satisfying menu.

Enjoying different flavors in one place is delightful.

If you're looking for a special meal in Seongsu-dong, remember Jeonja Bang!
