October 2017. Day 17 in Korea. After chueotang lunch, we head to Yeongdeungpo for next business meeting and will be staying at Gwangmyeong for 2 nights before we go back to Busan. We were invited for a dinner nearby the hotel we are staying~ Dae Gam Bok Jib. It is a restaurant specialized in 복찜 Bokjjim~ Spicy braised fish using poisonous puffer fish (복어 bogeo). The restaurant has been operate since 1991 in Cheolsan-dong, with only private dining room dining available. Bokjjim taste similar to Agujjim (Spicy Braised Monkfish)~ where the fish is braised with bean sprouts, watercress and a thick spicy sauce. Only special trained chef with license who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity can prepare this dish. It is kind of weird to think that I am eating a poisonous puffer fish when we having the bokjjim. Puffer fish meat has a clean and chewy texture compare to soft and gelatinous monk fish if where to compare. The remaining of bok-jjim is use to make bokkeumbap (fried rice) and that's what I enjoy the most from this meal. And I like the sweet plum tea that served as after meal dessert~ so refreshing.
