Recently, a spot with ratings between 4.5 and 4.8 has been creating quite a buzz among the locals! If you are wondering where to have dinner while traveling in Jeju, Nurungdowon is a place you definitely need to pay attention to, thanks to its unique cooking method. This place is renowned for offering a level of taste far beyond ordinary franchises by slow-roasting chicken to perfection. The combination of carefully roasted chicken and crispy Nurungji (scorched rice) is a match that everyone, regardless of age, will fall in love with.
The Secret to Nurungdowon’s Popularity
The biggest secret to their popularity lies in their cooking technique. Instead of frying in oil, they roast the chicken for a long time, resulting in crispy skin and incredibly tender meat. In particular, the Nurungji stuffed inside the chicken is infused with the juice and oils from the chicken, creating a rich flavor profile. The joy of scraping the burnt rice from the hot iron plate at the end of the meal is a unique experience found only here.
