PLACE TO EAT (http://www.visitseoul.net/)
Mapo's Dwaeji Galbi & Dwaeji Jumulleok Alley

You may or may not have heard the terms "Mapo galbi" or "Mapo jumulleok", but
for Koreans, these words go hand in hand. Koreans know that even though you can
get galbi or jumulleok almost anywhere, the best place to go for that real,
unforgettable taste is Mapo.
Although the story of how Mapo became the mecca of dwaeji galbi and jumulleok
is not known for certain, some say that it started around the 1950s because of
Mapo's location right next to the Hangang (River). Mapo, known as Maponaru at
that time, and was an area of commerce and trade. Many seamen came through
here, and as a result, restaurants began popping up to serve the growing number
of hungry customers, most of which served marinated meat. Maponaru is gone now
sixty years later, but many of the original barbeque restaurants are still
standing.

▶ What is Galbi?
Galbi (갈비) literally translates to "rib", and is beef or pork short ribs that
are typically marinated in a concoction of soy sauce, sliced scallions, garlic,
ginger juice, sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and pepper and then grilled. The
meat is generally scored to allow for the marinade to soak in.

▶ What is Jumulleok?
Jumulleok (주물럭) is pork sirloin that has been lightly marinated in a concoction
of sesame oil, salt, garlic, and pepper and then charcoal-grilled. The name
"jumulleok" comes from the word "jumulleokgeorida" (주물럭거리다), which means "to
knead or rub", which describes the action of how jumulleok is made (the
marinade is kneaded into the meat).
