As a nourishing meal for the kids before the new school term, the family ordered the 104,000 won basic set for 3, topped the stone-pot sushi rice with grilled eel to make eel sushi, and added eel soup for 12,000 won and cold noodles for 8,000 won. Staff at Cheonsanga Jangeoga grilled the eel from start to finish, so the family could relax and talk over an easy meal.

13,900-won pork belly and makchang: Seodaemun BBQ, Mapo Gui Madang

Mapo Gui Madang Bukgajwa Direct Branch is a charcoal-grilled pork belly restaurant in Bukgajwa-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. The meal was whole raw pork belly at 13,900 won and whole makchang (grilled intestine) at 13,900 won, pre-seared over Chiaksan oak charcoal and cut at the table by staff, eaten with green onion kimchi and rounded out with chewy bibim noodles and doenjang stew. Rice for fried rice had run out that late in the evening, but the pork belly and green onion kimchi pairing at Mapo Gui Madang was a sure thing.
