Gyeongsangnam-do(Geoje-si)

Nojasan Mountain extends from Geojae-eup to Hakdong, and right at the base of the Nojasan Natural Forest, a delightful restaurant made of lumberwood stands happily serving all customers. The restaurant doesn't stand out too much from its natural forest surroundings, as it takes on the same natural look as its environment. The restaurant is furnished with pulpwood, while the roomy interior is only sectioned off by paper sliding doors. On one side, the restaurant has a live stage, bringing a contemporary feel to the dining experience as well. Sanmaru vowed to provide food for all of its wayfaring visitors with Western and Korean menus such as pork cutlets, hamburg steaks, patbingsu (shaved ice with red bean topping), and their specialty, the teungmi doenjang ttukbaegi (special soybean paste stew in a hot pot). Unlike the regularly sold doenjang jjigae, the teungmi doenjang ttukbaegi dish is an excellent blend of Jeju's obunjagi tang and doenjang jjigae. This specialty has a sweet, savory taste without any unpleasant aftertaste.

Different from other beaches, Mongdol Beach is covered with black, round rocks instead of the usual white sands, but the more popular beach of the area is Hakdong Mongdol Beach. Due to this unique characteristic, many beach-goers visit during the summer seasons. There are also many well-known restaurants in the area, one of those being the Hansol Raw Fish Restaurant. A stationery next to the restaurant comes to sight first, as the restaurant is small in size, located on the side of the street with a Sea Squirt Bibimbap specialty that is to die for. The restaurant's clean and cozy interior holds over 10 tables, designed to remind one of a beautifully picturesque countryside. One of their most popular dishes is the Haemul-doenjang-jjigae, a stew made with soybean paste and plentiful amounts of fresh seafood. Hansol also possesses an aquarium full of red snappers and flatfishes, which make up the ingredients for their delicious Hoe-deopbap.
