Junju, the big southern heart of Korea (photoblog part 2).
Photoblog part 2: Drink 1, eat 3...
Mahkgulleh (막걸리) fermented rice drink, one kettle was 10,000 won (revision: it was 13,000 won for the first kettle, then 10,000 won after the first) and with each kettle you get three dishes as part of the deal.
With that kind of deal, this ends up being a hot spot for college kids with little $
This was the mini-kettle disguised as a bell.
(kettle 1.3) Baek Sook
Kettle 2 brought us .... (kettle 2.1) Seafood and egg jhun
(kettle 2.2) Fresh oysters
Kettle 3 brought us live octopus, actually kettle 3.1 + 3.2 + 3.3 all, live octopus with sesame oil and dried seaweed.
Kettle 4 brought us grilled fish(4.1), raw crab marinated in soy sauce(4.2), and salt roasted shrimp(4.3)
This was their "system" 1,2 clear Mahkgulleh and 1,2 unfiltered Mahkgulleh on a post-it!
To finish it all off Mahkgulleh and kimchee!
