Porridge!

We finally stopped in to the new restaurant that opened up in Suksadong. It's a traditional Korean porridge restaurant. I have no idea what it's name is, it's Korean.


We've been trying to eat healthier, so we thought we'd give this place a try. When Koreans are trying to be healthy, they put the words "well being" on it. So this restaurant having posted those words all over has to be healthy, right? It actually isn't too bad. It's a little bland, but that's not a bad thing. It means it probably has no MSG in it, or at least I hope.

Anyway, we went in Saturday night and had a good time. Michael ordered the vegetable porridge and I the pumpkin. They were both pretty tasty. The enormous bowls of soup came with small sides of kimchi, shredded beef, and some other kimchi'd food that may or may not have been meat. I ate the kimchi, Michael ate the beef, and we both left that other side alone. It also came with a salty cold soup that was unappetizing to both of us and some fermented apple juice which was pretty good. It was a lot of food, so we took a lot of our porridges home with us.



We will be coming back here again.

  1. I can't read the name of the restaurant from the picture, but I'm certain it has the word "juk" (jook) in it, as that's the word for porridge. The pumpkin is my favorite. Ian and I add the salty soup in small doses to the juk to cut out the blandness.

  2. It looks healthy. That's so different seeing other soups as sides. Mommy
