[Seoul] - 월매네 Traditional Folk Pub

Recommended Food and place to chill in Seoul: 월매네 Traditional Folk Pub | by Meheartseoul
After watched 'My Love From Another Star', just checked my emails and browsed Facebook. Then looked left and right to see what're others customers doing there... Ah~! Please note that normally I'm not a nosy person, just that a bit boring sitting there and nothing to do :P

Horray~! My friend finally finished his work! And we just cleared our table and stepped out from the cafe around 20:45 pm. 

Although we'd danpatjuk earlier, but that couldn't be considered as our dinner. This miserable cold weather made me easily feel hungry. My friend asked whether I want to have Chinese food, Japanese or Korean food or McDonalds.

"Anything is fine, just no beef for me... if have Korean food with makgeolli better." just wanted to fill my tummy the soonest possible.

"Makgeolli, you want makgeolli?" he started to look around and 
found this 월매네 (Wolmaene) Makgeolli Tavern
with unique Gourd bottle signboard.

Korean Traditional painting covered the whole walls, 
made 월매네 reminiscent of Traditional Folk Pub.

very heartwarming atmosphere with Korean paintings, 
Chinese calligraphy, old wine bottles and dim lights.

There's a big television just beside the shelves. I watched for the fourth time of the same news of Sochi Olympics 2014, and reunion of hundreds of South and North Korean families for that day.

Menu List

Sweet and refreshing 알밤 막걸리 (Chestnut Rice Wine). 

They served makgeolli and a bowl of snack first. But we've to wait a bit longer for tteokbokki as they need time to prepare and cook it and added that it's quite crowded on that day.

Thought it's yummy, but it's super spicy that I almost burst out eating this  
낙지 떡뽂이 (Octopus Rice Cake), as my ears were in sharp pain 
(that's the reason why I seldom eat spicy food). 
But it's just normal spiciness for my friend. Really?!

Then, he ordered 계란말이 (Omelette Egg Roll) for me with cheese, meat 
and vegetables with Ottogi ketchup sauce, quite similar to Heinz ketchup. 
 ㅎㅎ not spicy at all :P
