This place opens bright and early, around 7 o’clock, and the owner seems super dedicated. Once you step inside, the tantalizing aroma of porridge fills the air. Thanks to recent exposure on YouTube, the waiting time has significantly increased.
The abalone porridge stands out with its unique color. As you stir the deep emerald-hued porridge, you can sense its richness. With each bite, it’s like indulging in buttery goodness. The sesame oil adds a delightful nutty touch to the porridge, while hidden abalones surprise you as you stir. The chewy texture adds to its appeal.
After finishing a bowl, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret because it was so delicious. Unlike typical porridge with small abalone pieces, this one comes with generous chunks of abalone. With every spoonful, you’re treated to a delightful piece of abalone. The combination of flavorful porridge and large abalone chunks is truly unique to this place.
