Private corner table and free cheese egg custard in Magok: Jju Baksa

Jju Baksa Magok Branch is a jjukkumi (webfoot octopus) hot plate restaurant near Yangcheon Hyanggyo Station and Seoul Botanic Park in Gangseo, Seoul. On this visit the order was jjusamgyeop (webfoot octopus with pork belly) with the drink set at the most private table at the back, which came with rice balls, flying fish roe, corn cheese and egg custard, and the cheese on the egg custard cost nothing extra. The octopus at Jju Baksa Magok Branch is plump every time, which is why this neighborhood regular keeps returning.
