Adventurous eaters, listen up! If you're craving a truly authentic Korean experience, 홍탁 (Hongtak) on 전농로 124-5 is a MUST. Forget your delicate palate and embrace the funk! This isn't your cutesy K-BBQ joint. We're talking about hongeo (fermented skate), folks. Think intensely pungent ammonia with a texture like cartilage jelly. Not for the faint of heart, but incredibly rewarding. Dip it in sesame oil and salt, chase it with makgeolli (rice wine), and watch your world change. The bossam (boiled pork belly) is a fantastic counterpoint – tender, juicy, and perfect for wrapping around the hongeo to balance the flavors. The restaurant itself is cozy and unpretentious, adding to the genuine experience. Be warned: it's an acquired taste, but if you’re seeking a culinary adventure, Hongtak delivers in spades. Prepare for a sensory overload you won't soon forget! You might even become a convert!
