Why I recommend Ppwang Mulhoe's squid mulhoe to people who can't eat raw fish

On this third visit, instead of my usual signature Ppwang mulhoe, I ordered a double portion of flounder mulhoe and the squid mulhoe. Whenever I order mulhoe, the fish and seafood inside are fresh and generous and I'm always satisfied. As you'd expect from a Yeongildae raw fish restaurant with great fish quality, it looked mouthwatering again this time 😋

The squid mulhoe, which I ordered for the first time, had that fresh texture of chewy, springy squid sashimi enjoyed as mulhoe. If you come to Pohang you have to try mulhoe, but surprisingly people who can't handle ordinary raw fish often hesitate. Even people who don't like raw fish enjoy chewy squid, so it's the best choice that satisfies everyone! That's why I pick Ppwang Mulhoe as the Duho-dong, Pohang mulhoe place everyone likes.

How to enjoy Ppwang Mulhoe: mix first, broth later

At Ppwang Mulhoe the mulhoe broth is served separately. ☝🏻 My tip for eating it well: first mix the contents and seasoning together without the broth to taste the natural texture and nuttiness of the fish and seafood, then pour in the broth with its floating slush ice!

The slushy broth stimulates your appetite just by looking at it, and its sweet, tangy, deep flavor clings to your mouth, so the summer heat and stress seem to vanish ❤️‍🔥

How big was the double-portion flounder mulhoe?

Being a double portion, the double-portion flounder mulhoe at Ppwang Mulhoe was packed with nutty sashimi without any holding back, so much that the fish never seemed to go down no matter how much I ate. The savory depth of chewy flounder really comes through, and I understood why everyone asks for flounder. A Yeongildae raw fish restaurant that serves with care, so I'm amazed every time,, 😍

Finish with somen and rice in the broth

🍚 A generous bowl of rice plus unlimited somen, all mixed into the slushy broth: it felt so good and left me properly full. If you want cool, rich mulhoe with a well-stocked self-bar, an open ocean view and a hearty amount of fish, all three at once, I strongly recommend Pohang's Ppwang Mulhoe ❗️ ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
