A long-established nurungji baeksuk (boiled poultry with crispy scorched rice) restaurant near Baekun Lake in Uiwang, Gyeonggi-do. The two main options are dak-baeksuk (chicken) and ori-baeksuk (duck), both served with a pot of golden nurungji that soaks up the poultry broth for a rich, nutty finish. The chicken version features a clean, light broth with tender meat, and among diners who have tried both, the chicken baeksuk generally receives higher satisfaction than the duck. Portions comfortably serve three adults, and one notable convenience is the near-instant service, food arrives almost as soon as you sit down. Many diners add jjangban-makguksu (platter buckwheat noodles) as a side, though opinions on its taste and portion size are divided. The accompanying banchan, gat-kimchi, seokbakji, geotjeori, and pickles, are neatly prepared, with a self-service station available for additional refills. The restaurant has converted from traditional floor seating to Western-style tables and chairs for comfort. A second branch exists, so searching specifically for the first location is important. Operating hours are 11 AM to 9 PM with a break from 3 to 5 PM. Weekend waits of 15 to 20 minutes are common, and a dedicated parking attendant is on hand to guide vehicles. The spot remains popular for family gatherings and casual outings near the lake.
