Article Info & History ↓
In our lives, when it’s rainy or cold, there are two things we eat: Budae Jjigae and Kimchi jjigae. Thankfully, Songtan is one of the best places ever for Budae Jjigae / 부대찌개 (also known as soldier stew) since it’s where it all started.
We have eaten this dish everywhere we go, but one of our all-time favorite places (maybe our favorite ever) is at the end of the shopping street in front of Osan Air Force Base.  It’s on the left and you will miss it if you blink.  The restaurant is two stories, very small, with seated tables on the first floor and floor seating on the second.  We recommend ordering at least one round of ramen noodles with the stew as they soak up the flavor perfectly.
If you don’t know what Budae Jjigae is, it’s a spicy stew made with sausages, spam, and ham, onions, scallions, and deliciousness.
It’s a lot of food so come hungry!
