#100 Ways to Travel Address: 198-1 Gwangan-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea 부산광역시 수영구 광안동 198-1 Atmosphere/facilities: air-conditioning, charcoal grilling, iPad ordering on desktop, powder room, credit card accepted Features: Cheese grilled octopus, spicy stir-fried charcoal grilled octopus, egg custard, charcoal grilled octopus skewers Price per person: 15,000 won Rating: I found this charcoal-grilled octopus specialty store in the alley of Guang'anli Beach by chance. At first I thought there were a lot of customers, but later I realized it was also a popular store. Grilled octopus with cheese, 12,000 won, is a must-order for every table, but it was sold out when we ate. Original charcoal grilled octopus 11,000 won. The charcoal grilling time was short and the octopus contained too much water, which resulted in a softer texture. The octopus was not grilled to the level of elasticity. Also because it contains a lot of water, eating it alone will give it a bit of a fishy smell. It would be better to eat it with perilla leaves, pickled radish slices, mayonnaise and other seasonings. I will pass this dish next time. I recommend ordering the spicy stir-fried charcoal grilled octopus, which is more suitable. This is also a must order at every table. Charcoal grilled pork with sauce 10,000 won. The pork tastes dry and the seasoning is salty and sweet. Suitable with white rice. Not necessary, unless you can't stand grilled octopus. Charcoal grilled octopus skewers 9,000 won. Spicy and crispy. It tastes similar to spicy fried octopus. It is recommended to try spicy food to try it out. Korean steamed egg 3,000 won is also a must-order meal for every table, and it should be topped with mentaiko. It is the most delicious meal on the whole table. Overall, the charcoal-grilled octopus contains too much water, which makes the fishy smell of the seafood aggravated and the taste skewed. I would suggest asking the store clerk to dry it a little to make it taste better. To refill side dishes, you need to go to the self-service bar yourself.
