[Muju Ski Resort] - Haejangguk 'Hangover' Soup

To hunt for dinner, we'd to go back to Carnival Street because majority of restaurants, cafes and shops are located there.

Restaurant specialized in tofu cuisine.

Menu banner outside the restaurant wall looks so yummy~!

It seemed that spicy hot soup is the best choice to keep our body warm. So, without further delay, we went in and quickly order the food.

My husband ordered Soft Tofu Stew again, and Pork Ribs Haejangguk for me after asked and confirmed that it's pork instead of beef.

Soft Tofu Stew (우리콩 순두부찌개) - 10,000 Won

Pork Ribs Haejangguk (등뼈 해장국) - 10,000Won

엄마가 해주시던 등뼈해장국이 생각나는 날

Haejangguk is a famous food in Korea. It's a traditional cure for hangover after a night of heavy drinking, therefore it's known as 'Hangover soup'.

There are various types of haejangguk according to region based on ingredients and recipe that give each variety its own characteristic taste.

The haejangguk broth was quite flavourful to my taste buds with acceptable spiciness and sweetness. Pretty unique and appetizing... my first time had this kind of taste.

It's so yummy that I wanted to ask them how to cook it, but maybe even if they're willing to teach me, I won't really understand. But, I do understand why they stated "엄마가 해주시던 등뼈해장국이 생각나는 날" on the banner after I tasted it. Do try it if you're dining there.

I literally wiped out the whole bowl until the last drop of the broth, though most of the ribs ended in my hubby's tummy.

Both of us happy and satisfied with delicious taste of the soup!

Slurp~ nom nom nom~~!!!

The meal served with 6 types of banchan and rice. They also provide self-serving coffee, they asked us to get from coffee machine when we're paying for the food. We just skipped it as my husband didn't want them to wait for us any longer since we're the only customers in the restaurant.
