BONJUK 본죽

Korean traditional soup chain, at bulgwang branch

월차를 내고 치과에 갔다. 왜그랬을까... 미쳤지...

너무 아파서 저녁은 죽을 먹기로 했다. 얼마 전부터 죽 체인점이 인기다.

제일 유명하기도 하고, 사실 집근처에 있는 곳이라 본죽을 제일 많이 간다.

맛도 있고, 아프면 제일 먼저 생각나는 죽!

I took a monthly leave and then went to see the dentist... why the hell did i do that... 

i was crazy, totally crazy!!!

It hurt so much, so i decided to have Korean traditional soup for dinner, which we, Koreans always eat when we are sick. It is called Juk 죽, more like porridge. A while ago, Korean rice porridge franchise opened and it became quickly popular and other chains came up as well. The first start was this restaurant, Bonjuk, i guess. Taste is also great since i can't cook this kind of porridge... So i always look for this porridge when i am sick. 

아픈 사람 치고는 너무 깨끗이 먹었네..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Too much clean considering the sick person. lol 

메뉴 the menu

계속 메뉴를 계발해 나가는 듯. 가끔씩 새로운 메뉴가 보인다. 

아플때 먹는 단순한 죽 말고도 한끼 식사용으로 죽을 선택하도록 선택의 폭이 넓어져 좋다.

They keep developing the new menu and it's really great to give more options to customer.  

불광 엔씨점. 그리 크진 않다.

Inside of Bulgwang NC department store branch. not that big, less than 10 tables.

김치낙지죽 Kimchi Small Octopus Porridge
밑반찬으로 나오는 김치, 장조림, 다대기, 매실차, 동치미
소화에 좋은 매실차는 식사를 마치고 마시면 딱 좋다.

The top line is side dishes, kimchi, jangjorim which is soy sauce braised beef or pork, seasoned chopped radish, green plum tea from the left to right. And radish water kimchi.
Thoughtful to serve plum tea which is good for digestion.

친구가 시킨 메뉴. 매콤한 것과 죽은 절대 안어울릴 것이라고 생각했는데.
그것은 나의 편견. 꽤 맛있었다! 낚지와 김치의 식감도 좋았다.

My friend ordered a bit spicy porridge.
I've never tried this one since i thought spicy is not going along with porridge well. But it was good! and small octopus and kimchi texture was great too.

내가 시킨 소고기버섯죽
This was my order, beef and mushroom porridge!

역시 아플땐 죽이지. 먹을 힘도 입맛도 없지만 든든히 먹어야할 때.
외국인 친구들이 오면 꼭 한번 시도해보게 하고 싶다.

Best menu when you are sick, especially you don't have appetite but have to eat.
This is very different from american corn soup. If you've never tried before, i strongly recommend it! It makes great meal even though you are not sick.

새우죽 Shrimp Soup

날이 추워지니 좋은 식사 메뉴가 되겠다.

한그릇 다 먹기 힘들 것 같으면, 미리 반은 포장해달라고 하고 반만 달라고 하면 된다. 

먹고 남은 건 싸주지 않았던 것 같은데 잘 기억이 안난다. 

It's going to be good menu since it's getting cold.

If you think you cannot eat one whole bowl, ask the clerk to make half of it to go.

Then they will serve you half and give half to go.
