Sindang-dong Tteokbokki Town (신당동떡볶이골목)

Sindang-dongTteokbokki Town started in the late '70s, although the alley did not become famous until the '80s. At that time, each restaurant had its own DJ booth, with the image of the "cool DJ" who played the music becoming a symbol of Sindang-dong Tteokbokki Town. In addition, this period also marked the prime time of high school baseball where students would crowd the streets on days when Duksoo Commercial High School and Sunrin Commercial High School (now Sunrin Internet High School) played against one another. Although these high school students have aged, they continue to visit the area, reliving their youth and continuing to indulge in the specialty tteokbokki.

However, some claim the history of this alley began in the 1950s. The owner of Mabongnim Halmeoni Tteokbokki restaurant says tteokbokki was being sold as early as 1953 as the area used to be home to Donga Theater and she sold tteokbokki, corn and potatoes to those visiting the theater. At first, tteokbokki was simply made with gochujang (red chili paste) but as time went by, cooks decided the dish could be more than just a snack. By adding ingredients like eggs, cellophane noodles, fish cakes, instant noodles and more recently squid, prawn and cheese, tteokbokki can be made more delicious and turns this beloved snack into a full meal.

In traditional Korean medicine, summer is the season when one's energy is severely depleted as people tend to sweat a lot even with little movement. As you are more likely to feel fatigued and lose vitality, replenishing one's energy is crucial. According to Donguibogam, a traditional Korean medical encyclopedia, red ginseng is recommended for vitality. The book says red ginseng slows the aging process and boosts one's energy, helping you live longer. It's effective in restoring vitality and alleviating fatigue. Red ginseng is made by steaming ginseng for approx. 3 hours without peeling it and then letting it dry slowly. This steaming and drying process reduces ginseng's sugar level while creating an active compound, which enhances its efficacy. Saponin, which is abundant in red ginseng, is known for boosting one's immunity and restoring vitality. Notably, ginsenoside helps with digestion, metabolism, and the absorption of nutrients, thereby restoring one's energy. SPA 1899 Donginbi, run by the premium red ginseng brand Jung Kwan Jang, is a specialized spa facility that uses beneficial red ginseng.
