⑤ Beer & Food Highlights
Jjukkumi Chardol Bokkeum (쭈꾸미차돌볶음) – Spicy Stir-Fried webfoot octopus with Beef Brisket): Tender and slightly chewy webfoot octopus stir-fried in a flavorful and customizable spicy sauce, served with thinly sliced beef brisket. You can choose your spice level (we tried level 1, which was mild).
Jumeokbap (주먹밥 – Rice Balls): Delicious rice balls seasoned with sesame oil, perfect for pairing with the spicy webfoot octopus. Even kids will enjoy these.
Basic Side Dishes (기본찬): A refreshing selection of salad, white kimchi, bean sprouts, perilla leaves, cold seaweed soup, and a tangy onion sauce. You can refill these at the self-service bar. The onion sauce is particularly good for dipping the webfoot octopus to mellow out the spice.
Service Steamed Egg (써비스 계란찜): A complimentary, soft, and savory steamed egg dish that helps to balance the spiciness.
Al-cheese Bokkeumbap (알치즈볶음밥 – Flying Fish Roe and Cheese Fried Rice): The perfect way to end your meal! Rice is stir-fried in the leftover webfoot octopus sauce with generous amounts of flying fish roe and cheese. The combination of textures and flavors is fantastic.
