Bupyeong bar with aged kimchi stew and yeon-maek beer: Malmaek

Malmaek is a Korean food-and-drink bar on the 3rd floor of the building next to Olive Young on Theme Street in Bupyeong, Incheon. The aged kimchi stew (mugeunji kimchi-jjim) costs 25,000 won and comes with tofu and ramyeon noodles, and yeon-maek — the beer-and-soju mix usually found at lamb skewer places — is 6,500 won, with soju at 5,500 won. Between the free Pringles starter and the ice cream handed out on the wayANYWHERE out, Malmaek is one of the best-value bars near Bupyeong Station.
