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!

I'm impressed you made it to kettle 4! My husband and I only made it to kettle 2. And the 2nd one, we told them to hold the makkeolli :) But then again, this was our 2nd makkeolli alley of the evening...
ReplyDeleteBTW, when we went, it was up to 15,000 Won per kettle (it was 10,000 Won per kettle when we went 2 years ago)... I guess the price has dropped?
makkoli heaven! (except for maybe the live octupus which i haven't tried yet). and stunning photos, Michelle! thank you.

ReplyDeleteActually you're right, oops. I'll have to revise the price, it was 13000 won for the first and after that the price drops to 10000won per kettle. Must be the economy, haha. (broken record phrase of 2009). HERE'S TO A WONDERFUL 2010!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!!!
