Hongdaepo 홍대포

Haecheon-tang piles live octopus, abalone, scallops and mussels over a whole large chicken, and haesin-tang puts small octopus (nakji) where the octopus would be. The pot needs about 20 minutes, filled by pan-fried tofu and seasoned cockles. Once it is cooked, staff cut everything up with scissors, and the broth deepens the longer it simmers. Kalguksu noodles go in next, but their flour dulls the clean taste of the broth, so if you like the soup, ladle some out before the noodles go in. Rice porridge ends the meal.
