Seoul Spring '17 - Ep. 08.2 - MMM Records & Jokbal Dinner
Travel Vertical Vlog
Later that afternoon, Ken wanted to check out MMM Records (음레코드), another place that we both haven’t been to. And since he was the one who found the place, both me and my cousin just followed his lead when looking for this place. MMM Records is located in the hilly neighborhood of Hannam-dong (한남동) which didn’t exactly made it easily accessible by foot. I’m telling you, we went through so many small alleys and walked up and down so many steep hills when trying to get to this place. Marshellia almost passed out and I seriously thought that I was going to get another asthma attack—which I haven’t had in a very long time by the way—when we were following Ken who’s following the direction from his phone. But then again, both of us are not exactly the definition of fit girls, so please take my comments with a grain of salt ;) But I do have to tell you, if you’re planning to visit MMM Records from Hangangjin Station (that’s where we were before we headed to this place) on foot, do wear comfortable shoes and prepare yourself to do a little bit of cardio.
When we finally arrived, we browsed around the place for a bit (read more about it here) before finally ordered our drinks and decided to bring them up to the rooftop to enjoy the sunset. Nobody was there so it was nice to have the whole area to ourselves. Marshellia and I ordered a drink which we were suppose to share but she ended up finishing almost all of it and left me with only a little left with plenty of ice cubes, again. Oh well. Since it was our last stop of the day, we were all pretty tired from the walking around and hiking the steep hills so we pretty much just chilled there and talked until the sun was down before making our way back to the subway station.

For dinner, we headed back to Hongdae to meet up with our moms at Miss Jokbal Hongdae (미쓰족발 홍대본점). All four of us actually have been here together before when I first moved to Seoul for school and they came with me on that trip. This kind of reminded me of that time. We ordered the Original Jokbal (오리지널 족발) that comes with salad, banchan, three kinds of dipping sauces and a small pot of spicy kalguksu soup on the side. Their jokbal is actually one of the better ones I’ve had in Seoul. The meat is tender and juicy and it’s perfectly balanced when you eat it with with their well-seasoned salad. After we finished our dinner, we walked around Hongdae for a bit and visited the Kakao Friends store (카카오프렌즈 홍대점) before heading back to our Airbnb.
