Spicy fish stew at Busan Sikdang in Insadong.
A traditional town Insadon. There are a lot of little-known restaurants on small backstreets there. If you explore the streets, you might find a great spot for eating.
Busan Sikdang is one of the those restaurants that not many people know about.

Very soft and hot rice is made when customers come in the restaurant. So you need to be patient until the rice is ready.
