An auntie loved by residents of Jongro for her looks and whip-smart quips runs this restaurant and bar. Called Mullaebanga, the demographic here is a macro-view of Jongro today: gays, middle-aged couples, and the elderly. Auntie, having flexed her skills at her own pojangmacha during her heydays, now prides in her dishes served at Mullaebanga. Her marinated half-dried Pollack and succulent egg soup simmered with all types of seafood are perfect sides if you are drinking. Whatever is in the tank are all daily purchases from the Noryangjin Fish Market, so try their fresh sea squirt, sea cucumber, or octopus for the right pairing with soju.
