While planning my trip to Andong's Hahoe Village,
one of the things I looked forward to the most was
tasting the local traditional food.
Before enjoying the serene beauty of the Hanok,
I stopped by Turjudae-gam, located in the market area
right before entering Hahoe Village,
to indulge in a wonderful meal.
The combination of Andong Jjimdak and grilled mackerel,
which preserves the essence of tradition,
was truly impressive,
so I’m excited to share this delightful experience with you.
✨ Key Highlights

The combination set of Andong Jjimdak and grilled mackerel is excellent.

Turjudae-gam is located on Hahoe Jongga-gil,

As you approach the restaurant,
the traditional atmosphere with elegant wooden pillars
fills you with the charm of Andong even before your meal.

The wooden tables are generously arranged,
and the wide spacing between seats allows for a comfortable dining experience.
There’s also a booth selling traditional crafts at the entrance.
Currently, if you write a review on Naver receipt,
you can receive a ladle or spatula as a gift,
so make sure to participate if you visit.
???? Taste Evaluation of Signature Dishes
I enjoyed the signature dishes,
Andong Jjimdak and grilled mackerel,
as a set meal.
The unique feature of Andong Jjimdak is that it’s not overly sweet;
the slight spiciness in the aftertaste enhances the overall flavor.
The chicken is tender,
and there’s plenty of glass noodles to mix with the rice.
The grilled mackerel, cooked over charcoal,
is moist and brings out the unique flavor of mackerel.
It’s rich and has no fishy taste,
making it a perfect complement to rice.
If you love grilled mackerel,
I highly recommend trying it.
???? Final Thoughts
The meal is completed with a refreshing dessert of Sikhye,
which cleanses the palate.
After a sip, it leaves you feeling refreshed.
Ordering the set menu is better than ordering individual dishes,
as it includes both Jjimdak and grilled mackerel,
along with side dishes and soybean paste stew.
