Yaboten (野暮天) - A Hitakatsu, Tsushima Restaurant Famous for Donchan (とんちゃん) and Nagasaki Champon (ちゃんぽん)


Yaboten (野暮天) is a popular restaurant in the Hitakatsu area of Tsushima.




 It is well-known among Koreans and was even featured on the Korean TV show KBS VJ something.
The restaurant has a quiet and homely atmosphere, reminiscent of a countryside yakiniku restaurant.



The menu at Yaboten features Donchan (とんちゃん) and Nagasaki Champon (ちゃんぽん). Tonchan is a dish that adapts Korean bulgogi to Tsushima's local flavors. It was created by Koreans who moved to Tsushima and missed the taste of their homeland. Perhaps because of this, it pairs wonderfully with rice.




The flavor is similar to Korean pork ribs, with a sweet marinade that tastes fantastic when enjoyed with a cold beer.

Yaboten offers a unique Nagasaki Champon (ちゃんぽん), featuring distinct chewy noodles in a flavorful and hearty broth.

The very kind owner graciously drove us to the camping site. He spoke Korean quite well, so we chatted about various things as we headed to the campsite.

South Korea Camping] Summer Camping Adventure in Jeju Island

Image
  Summer Camping Adventure in Jeju This summer, we went to Jeju Island for a camping trip with my wife's best friends. Initially, we considered taking our car on the ferry, but with a little one in tow, a long drive to the southern port seemed too challenging. So, we packed up our tent and flew instead.  We met my wife's friend and her family, who came from Daegu, rented a car together, and headed to our first camping destination: Moguri Camping Ground. Located in Seogwipo City, Moguri Camping Ground is a large-scale campground operated by the city. With 150 sites, it offers a wide range of facilities, including a well-maintained sports field, playground, fitness area, play yard, inline skating rink, and walking trails. The sites come in various types: soil, grass, and deck. Note that it's not an auto-camping site, so we had to use a cart to move our camping gear. After setting up our camp, we headed to a local restaurant for dinner and enjoyed the evening with Jeju soju an...

Image
Epsom에서 워낙 유명하고 오래된 피쉬앤칩스라  대부분 다 아실것 같습니다. 건너편 말레이시안 레스토랑 Sri Mahkota, 차이니즈 테이크어웨이 Daimond Takeaways 모두 오랫동안 사랑받는 곳이에요! 오픈 시간을 모르고 오픈 시간전에 갔었는데 피쉬 앤 칩스를 준비해 주시네요. 2011 Metro Best of Auckland  2012 Metro Best of Auckland 2013 Viva Take out Awards 2014 Localist Top 5 Fish and Chips  이와같이 화려한 히스토리도 가지고 있습니다. 흔한 피쉬앤칩스 테이크어웨이처럼 종이에 둘둘 말아 줍니다. 평소 튀김에 아주 관심이 많기 때문에 준비하시는걸 유심히 지켜봤는데요. 칩스는 일반적인 13mm를 쓰는 것 같고요.  소금은 일반소금을 쓰는것 같습니다. 피쉬는 겉은 빠삭하고 속은 찹쌀탕수육처럼 졸깃하고 생선은 부드럽고 촉촉합니다. 👍👍  한 5분정도 튀기시는것 같던데, 적절한 튀김 온도와 튀김 반죽 레시피의 조합이겠죠? 너무 맛있어서 아들과 흡입했네요.  The Fish and Chips shop은 Sandringham , Westmere , Epsom 이렇게 3군데 지점이 있다고 하네요. 버거도 맛있다고 하고 타르타르와 아이올리 소스를 직접 만든다고 하니 한번 먹어봐야겠네요.

Our third day began with a bus ride to the final camping site of our trip, Miuda Camping Ground, located in the northeastern part of Tsushima. Before heading to the campsite, we stopped by a local market to pick up some groceries. For brunch, we decided to visit Yaboten, a well-known eatery in Tsushima that has garnered fame even in Korea. At Yaboten, we enjoyed a delicious Tsushima style marinated meat Donjjang and Nagasaki champon noodle.  The friendly owner, upon learning that we were visiting from Korea, graciously offered to drive us to the camping site. This warm gesture made our morning even more special. Miuda Camping Ground is situated on Miuda Beach, which has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 beautiful beaches. The campsite offers a stunning view of the shoreline, creating a picturesque setting for our stay.  When we arrived, we noticed the sturdy tents set up on wooden decks, ready to withstand the strong coastal winds.  Despite it being May and a bit ch...
