They give everyone their own bowl, and you know how it is — you've gotta give your stomach a warm rice knock-knock before the drinking starts, right? haha (soju's coming soooon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) ![Spicy beef radish soup simmering at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-09-1rfxv-900.webp) Spicy beef radish soup. The imokase course includes a soup or stew, and honestly there's nothing better for drinkers haha. True to its name, it was loaded with beef and radish — bubbling away right at the table, I took a bite and couldn't help but let out a 'kyaa~' haha. ![A bubbling bowl of beef radish soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-10-ugzu2-900.webp) ## The main spread on flower-shaped plates Once you settle in and have a drink with the basic side dishes, the main dishes finally arrive!!! They come out on a big tray covered in flower-shaped plates, and honestly the visuals alone are incredible haha. ![Main anju served on flower-shaped plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-11-8xthd-900.webp) And the menu wasn't even all out yet, and the table was already full haha. ![Table packed full with the imokase spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-12-19p2d-900.webp) ![Plate of imo's squid sundae-jeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-13-1se8a-900.webp) ![Cross-section of squid sundae-jeon showing the filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-14-1jge2-900.webp) Imo's squid sundae-jeon (stuffed squid pancake), pan-fried golden and crispy — insanely savory haha. The squid was super tender and plump, and the filling was packed in so generously — totally different from what I've had elsewhere!! The beef sirloin yukjeon was soft and tender, absolutely perfect as a drinking snack! ![Tender beef sirloin yukjeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-15-10buk-900.webp) ![Plate of beef sirloin yukjeon at Imokase Hongsi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-16-1dubn-900.webp) Conchiglioni gochujang butter pasta. A meeting of Korean and Western flavors! Spicy, sweet, and soft — I couldn't stop eating haha. Best eaten hot, and it goes great with the cheese, too. ![Conchiglioni gochujang butter pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-17-8cd9a-900.webp) ### Today's secret menu: haemul-jjim (spicy steamed seafood) 🔥Today's secret menu, haemul-jjim (spicy braised seafood)! 🔥 The mystery secret item on the board turned out to be haemul-jjim!! ![The secret menu item, haemul-jjim](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-18-f7i4o-900.webp) Plump monkfish meat, mussels, and crunchy bean sprouts, all piled in — spicy and outstanding! ![Haemul-jjim with monkfish, mussels and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-19-grcnb-900.webp) ![A plate of boiled gabrisal pork with geotjeori](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-20-1kxju-900.webp) Gabrisal (pork skirt) boiled fresh daily, with geotjeori (fresh cut kimchi). The combo of moist boiled pork and spicy, crunchy geotjeori is genuinely fantastic ㅠㅠ! And it doesn't stop there — more anju keeps coming on extra plates haha. ![Hongsi's signature house-made chicken feet pyeonyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-21-1gfbz-900.webp) ![A plate of autumn-season grilled jeoneo](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-22-1cbas-900.webp) ### Chicken feet pyeonyuk, autumn grilled jeoneo, cream cheese hogam and seasonal fruit Hongsi's signature house-made chicken feet pyeonyuk (sliced boiled chicken feet) is chewy and mild, not overly seasoned, so the drinks just keep flowing! (This one's totally my type!!!) It's peak season right now! Grilled jeoneo (gizzard shad). Getting autumn-season grilled jeoneo in this course is genuinely touching... the more you chew, the more savory it gets! Plump and fatty — you can't resist autumn jeoneo!!! Cream cheese hogam♥️ is half-dried persimmon with cream cheese and walnuts — how could that not be delicious haha. Savory and sweet, it kind of tastes like it's detoxing the alcohol!! For seasonal fruit, we got shine muscat grapes and oranges!! A refreshing fruit finish to cleanse the palate! So good. ![The extra order of shiitake squid fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-23-anwbf-900.webp) ![Close-up of the crispy shiitake squid fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim-24-1njeu-900.webp) ## The extra order: shiitake and squid fritters I felt like I'd burst just from the course haha, but the drinks were going down so well that we added shiitake squid fritters as an extra side!! Crispy outside, chewy squid inside, with the fragrant flavor of shiitake mushroom woven through — genuinely the kind of taste that calls for another drink haha. We would've regretted not ordering it! (Imo's got real skill!!!) ## Is the 25,000 won imokase course at Imokase Hongsi worth it? For an absurdly good value of ₩25,000 per person, you get to try more than 10 seasonal dishes made with real care! It felt like someone was setting a hearty home-cooked table just for me, and honestly it was healing the whole way through haha. Since the anju lineup changes every week, I'm already looking forward to my next visit haha. If you're in Seoknam-dong looking for a bar with great anju and a seasonal imokase spread, I genuinely recommend 'Imokase Hongsi'!! ## Where it is - Imokase Hongsi (이모카세 홍시) - 216 Gajeong-ro, 1F 104-ho, Seohae-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 서해구 가정로 216 1층 104호 - 37.5041145, 126.6723101 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EB%AA%A8%EC%B9%B4%EC%84%B8%20%ED%99%8D%EC%8B%9C/@37.5041145,126.6723101,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@golmok-glass/seoknam-imokase-hongsi-secret-haemuljjim/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
