Gyeongju Ssambap, is a unique part of Korean cuisine. Ssambap (쌈밥) is a rice dish served with a variety of vegetable leaves, meat, and side dishes. Rice is wrapped inside a vegetable leaf with meat and topped with condiments. Though ssambap is readily available in many regions, Gyeongju ssambap is characterized by the number and variety of side dishes. Using seasonal ingredients, the servings are always fresh and plentiful. Dozens of ssambap restaurants are located along the road near Daereungwon.
Price: 9,000~10,000 won per person.

I actually really want to try this Korean Cuisine. But maybe, it's not suitable with my taste, so I'm not like it that much. We choose Korean Original Beef. I ended up only eating Rice and egg (one of the side dish).

After eat dinner, we go back to Bus station using taxi and ride express bus back to Busan. We passed by Gyeongju Bread Store so we bought some for tasting.

Lunch Bulgogi Jungol / Korean Marinated Beef > Gyeongju, South Korea > Day 04 (2) - 2014 October 11 (Busan, Gyeongju, Seoul, Daegwallyeong, Nami Island, Mt Seorak, Kuala Lumpur)

When we arrived at Bulguksa Temple, it's already noon. So we decided to eat lunch first. There's so many local restaurant nearby, and some of ahjumma give you a pamphlet with their restaurant menu. So becareful, once you take the pamphlet, ahjumma will calling you times to times as long as you are still in there. But for polite, just take the pamphlet and smile. Just pretend that you don't know what they talking about if you didn't want to eat in their restaurant.

This street located in front of Bulguksa Car Parking, there's a lot of restaurant along this street.

We found Bulgogi restaurant and decided to eat Bulgogi. We have to order 2 portion minimum for 1 menu. I'm not understand why maybe because 1 portion of food is very little and the bowl or plate is designed for 2 portion. So they will serve the 2 portion become one bowl/plate. There's also the side dish.

2 portion of Bulgogi Jungol in 1 plate

It's yummy. It's really different from what I ate outside Korea. And I really love the soup. It's refreshing. Especially in cold autumn or winter.

Actually, eating in South Korea is quiet expensive (for me).

One portion of bulgogi Jungol cost 15.000 won (1 portion of bulgogi, 1 rice and 1 set of side dish). And we have to buy minimum 2 portion, so it cost 30.000 won (2 portion bulgogi, 2 rice, and set of side dish). Then we add another bowl of rice for 1.000 won, so for this lunch, we spent 31.000 won.
The exchange rate in Indonesia, approximately 12,3 won at that time. So we spent IDR 381.300 for 3 people.

Wow... That's why I spent more money in eating. And 2 portion, is really much.
