Grilled Eel with Chili Crisp

3.5

at Pungcheon Jangeo Maeul

-Jangji, Songpa, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

with W and IZ

The restaurant also has a basement, which is only used for large groups, or when the upper floors are fully seated.
The prices have increased recently to 88,000 won for 1 kg, up from 78,000 won when we’d first visited 3 years ago (see generally 11.250 Pungcheon Jangeo – King Special Large).

Of all the items that I’ve tried pairing chili crisp with over the past couple weeks, grilled eel would’ve seemed the most obvious winner, but it was surprisingly anticlimactic.  Can’t explain why, because the smoky sweet meat generally goes so well with any other combination of dips (teriyaki sauce, ssamjang), toppings (raw garlic, kimchi), wraps (lettuce, pickled perilla leaves).  Maybe I was just crisped out.

James gave me the remaining chili crisp, which should last me a week or so.
