Maybe it is because it has only just opened, but I feel like this clean, tidy atmosphere will stay the same even after a long time. The wood-toned interior and lighting made it feel cozy and really nice. I prefer restaurants where you can tell they put this much care into the interior too.. My old occupational habit is creeping back in..⚡️ ![Manmok's tidy wood-toned interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-05-xfflw-900.webp) Even the menu was pretty, you know.

It was as soft in texture as soft tofu, with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. ![Steamed egg served with the eel rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-11-1wgt8-826.webp) ![Steamed egg served with the eel rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-12-ybaop-900.webp) I especially loved the shredded radish served as a side dish. It was lightly sour radish kimchi! ![Shredded radish served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-13-1m516-900.webp) Doesn't it look delicious~? ![Appetizing eel rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-14-1pbwg-897.webp) ## Matcha and black tea ice cream for dessert After enjoying the eel rice bowl, they give you matcha or black tea ice cream for dessert. 🎶 ![Matcha or black tea ice cream for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-15-1a90g-900.webp) ![Matcha or black tea ice cream for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-16-1b5wt-900.webp) Ah…… the ice cream is seriously delicious ㅠㅠㅠㅠ It just melts away in your mouth 🥺 ![Dessert ice cream that melts in your mouth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-17-1n56m-900.webp) ![Dessert ice cream that melts in your mouth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-18-flmmz-900.webp) ![Dessert ice cream that melts in your mouth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok/seolleung-eel-rice-rainy-manmok-19-dgs2u-900.webp) I'll attach the menu once more :) The water glasses were pretty, and so was the bowl the ice cream came in..
