Eel pot rice: one whole eel, seasoning soaked right in

The eel had plenty of tasty seasoning soaked into it already, so it was delicious enough even without dipping it in extra sauce 😋

The seasoning was salty-sweet and paired really well with the eel and the rice 🍚 The eel wasn't thin at all — it was thick, with good chew, and since a whole one was placed on top, the portion was more generous than expected 🙌

Eel pot rice alone was filling enough that I never felt like it was lacking — it's a dish I'd recommend to anyone looking for a pot rice restaurant near Munjeong Station 💛

Eating the fragrant chopped scallions and eel together on top of the chewy, warm rice made the flavor come alive even more 😋

The soft, thick eel combined with the scallion aroma cut through any richness, and it paired really well with the rice 🍚

Eating a full spoonful of eel and rice together was hearty and full of flavor — it really let me feel the charm of Gome Mui's eel pot rice near Munjeong Station 💛

Hire katsu: a tender pork tenderloin side

I tend to prefer tenderloin over sirloin when it comes to tonkatsu 😊 Hire katsu is made from the tenderloin cut, so the texture was definitely soft and had a nice nutty flavor 😋

It wasn't tough at all and bit through softly, making it a great pairing with the eel pot rice 🙌 The coating outside was crispy while the meat inside stayed juicy, so the contrast in texture was really nice 💛 If eel pot rice alone feels like not quite enough at Gome Mui near Munjeong Station, I'd recommend the combo of ordering two pieces of hire katsu alongside it 🍚

Gome Mui near Munjeong Station was a good place for a hearty meal, from the warm pot rice to the crispy hire katsu 😊 The eel pot rice in particular, with its thick eel and a whole one served on top, had a generous portion that was satisfying 🍚
