Sobre esta Tip
Oritang, a duck and vegetable stew, is a Gwangju specialty. The restaurants that serve it cluster on Yudong Alley in Buk-gu, in the lane beside the Hyundai Department Store. Ask for the version made with ground perilla seeds, which gives the broth a nutty body, and order a pot to share across the table. Locals go for a late lunch or a warm dinner when the weather turns cool.
