“This is the phenomenal chili eggplant meat fry. It seems to approach radiating solar heat from afar. It feels like meeting the best. I could eat it 50,000 times. The first bite of chili eggplant meat fry is truly moving. It’s as touching as the tears generated by a laptop or the movie ‘If Only’. The eggplant is bursting with juice, filled with savory meat. It has a softness somewhat like bread. Then, the chili sauce perfectly crowns the finish. It also has a mildly spicy chicken flavor.
It’s quite far from the station. Yeonhui-dong is known as ‘Little China Town’ because many Chinese residents gather here. Besides Lailai, there are many popular Chinese restaurants with long waits. If you’re coming to taste ‘chili eggplant’, other specialties include braised pork belly at ‘Moran’ and dumplings at ‘Haha’. Experience the local flavors in Yeonhui-dong.”
