I love Eel or some called it Unagi. I love fishes and almost all kinds except those fried type. So, when I first visited 황가네 꼼장군 I was excited to try this baby eel that I never ate it before. I thought its really tasty and I never ate something that taste like this at all. I guessed, I am really challenging when I travelling, I basically give a try to almost everything except anything-seaweed-or-vinegar haha! So, after the visit at  황가네 꼼장군, I searched around and found this 신촌 풍천장어. So the recent trip, I wanted to bring the girls to eat Eel yet its somewhere new. Really New & Luxury hahahahhahhaha!

Please forgive me of the not-so-sharp-photos for the direction guide as the rain was pretty heavy and I doesn’t have an umbrella.

#we took a normal seating because we so wet, doesn’t want to sit on the floor with our smelly socks too! HAHA

Eel’s bone, its like crackers, and its quite addictive! :p

The menu, we accidentally ordered the luxury eel at 85,000won each (85USD) lol

Their side dishes really yummy, and we were given 2 set each. We only have 4 pax and haha we refilled a few times because its too good!

quail eggs, who can resist!

potato salad, one of my favourite!

# anchovies

#its a type of squid/octopus etc, not sure haha

#radish

#some greens finally!

and our luxury eel arrived. It’s occupied more than half of our table height!

really luxury, look at the fat meat!

Oh my! i love unagi!

It’s really expensive as it cost 170,000won for this meal, but I think we all ended up have happy tummy!

Direction to 팔팔민물장어

I’m sorry that the photo turned out quite badly due to the heavy rains, and the lens was blurred, I didn’t realise it until I was back home.
But, its not too difficult to figure out the way, and its quite easy after exit too

Exit 1 at Sinnohyeon Station & Walk straight

#continue to walk straight, Burger King on your right

Continue to walk straight, IBK bank on your right

#Continue to walk straight!

Did i told you all, I didnt have umbrella, so its really very wet! Husky on the right

#continue to walk straight

#continue to walk straight, dunkin donuts on your right

#you are almost, go all the way to the end!

#you will see the shop name at the building on ur right. Walk in!

#the lens must be really wet!

Anyway, when I was checking the exact english name of this restaurant (which eventually I can’t find lol), I then realise, this is the one that Jung-Suk (Ha Seok-Jin in Drinking solo) went. I love that drama, its so simply and actually telling quite alot of facts about working life too.

My friend’s korean friend introduce 새마을식당 to us, when we told him that we are going to Gangnam after Manufact (a coffee place) for Ryan Cafe The restaurant located in Nonhyeon (subway station is sinnonhyeon) is their main restaurant before they started to have chain restaurants around the city!

As someone who do not really like BBQ food/ Pork/ Meat and everything in between, I have to say, this restaurant really serve very very decent and really good BBQ Pork. It’s so nice that, I must bring my cousin here again next year!

According to the friend, they have this 7 minutes kimchi-chige that is so good that you must remember to order! So, we were looking forward especially to this even though its pretty much a hot evening :p

You probably very familiar with him – Mr Paik! He has many franchises such as Mr Paik’s Coffee / Paik Bibimbap etcetc

The Menu

We ordered their main dish + pork skin (oh thats collagen!)

its really thin, and really really good!

#i know this look abit bloody and stuff, but its Pork Skin, so nice so yummy!

#cooking cooking

#almost cooked and almost in my stomach ;P

# teeheehehee, the must-eat

#the pork is so fattening but so nice!

#yummy  food that i know, you want to know where and how to go
