This 保承會館 is very famous in Hongdae,
because it's a 24-hour restaurant with affordable prices
It's a popular choice for late-night snacks or breakfast for many people
There is a simple menu and prices at the entrance,
The restaurant has a classic, antique-style interior, with mostly 2-4 person seats,
but there is actually a small bar area where you can dine alone!!
New product introductions on the wall
Orders are placed using tablets, which support 5 languages, including Traditional Chinese~~~
However... only the main categories have Chinese, the meal details are still in Korean~~~
Every dish has photos, so it's quite convenient
There are quite a few menu options; unless it's a "single person special set," everything starts from 2 people!!
The single person set is actually... Soup Rice + Blood Sausage Set
The soup rice options include - Hangover Soup (Potato Pork Rib Soup)/ Pork Soup Rice/ Braised Pork Soup Rice/ Offal Soup Rice/ Pork Stomach Soup Rice
After ordering, the staff will bring side dishes
Cups/ ice water/ utensils are self-service on the table
Since we ordered the hangover soup set, it comes with a small sweet and sour vinegar sauce
Hangover Soup Set:₩16,000 (Hangover Soup/ White Meat + Blood Sausage Platter/ Rice)
Each single person set comes with this platter
Everything on top is pork, like white-cut meat from different parts
The textures vary slightly; you can eat it with salt or pair it with kimchi
Below are three flavors of blood sausage; only the middle one has a stronger flavor with a slight blood taste
But all three blood sausages are filled with sweet potato noodles inside, soft and delicious
The right blood sausage has some vegetables inside, nice texture
Dipping the blood sausage into the hangover soup is also a great match
The hangover soup is basically potato pork rib soup without the potatoes,
It's amazing in winter (weather is too cold)
Their flavor is quite authentic, as they add pickled vegetables,
and perilla leaves for aroma, which we really liked
It comes with three large pieces of pork ribs, very generous portion
The only downside is... the ribs aren't stewed until very tender
Their rice is a bit firmer, but perfect for soaking in the soup
Besides dipping blood sausage in the broth, adding rice into the soup is also the traditional Korean way to eat it
This whole set is super filling, suitable for both men and women~
To be honest, this restaurant is a great choice for a quick meal,
because there are many menu options, solo dining is possible, and it's open 24 hours
Plus, many young Koreans also come here to eat
The food isn't particularly amazing, but it's reliable
