Sinseol Oreum 신설오름

Momguk simmers gulfweed, a Jeju seaweed, in pork broth, and the bowl carries the nuttiness of seaweed soup, a slippery texture like fine seaweed and the richness of meat stock all at once. The marine aroma stays mild, yet it is still an unfamiliar taste, and some first-timers find it is not for them. Order dombe-gogi, thick slices of boiled pork, and momguk comes with it; the pork goes onto fresh napa cabbage and gets dipped in meljeot, a salty anchovy sauce. The shop holds the government Baeknyeon Gage designation for long-running businesses and stays open into the early morning, so plenty of tables are drinking Hallasan soju and the room gets loud.
