What is on the menu at Ilpum Yangpyeong Haejangguk?

The menu at Ilpum Yangpyeong Haejangguk carries flavor, spirit, and nostalgia. Haejangguk (hangover soup) really is Korean soul food. There's Yangpyeong haejangguk loaded with sundae (blood) and offal, bone haejangguk, sundae gukbap, naejangtang (offal-only soup), yukgaejang, and galbitang.

My husband ordered the large Yangpyeong haejangguk, and I ordered the galbitang.

Yangpyeong haejangguk (large), 14,000 won — how do the seonji and cheonyeop taste?

The large Yangpyeong haejangguk is 14,000 won and came in a big, steaming hot ttukbaegi (stone pot), with more volume than the regular size. Basic side dishes included kkakdugi, cabbage kimchi, cheongyang chili, and onion, plus a mustard soy sauce.

From the very first spoonful, it felt like it cleared my stomach right up. It's not too spicy or too salty, so it tastes great.

There was plenty of cheonyeop (beef tripe), sundae (blood), and other pork offal in it. I loved how much bean sprouts there were.

It really was the large size — so generous! The bean sprouts kept their crunch, and the sundae was soft and clean with no gamy taste at all. The broth was rich and spicy-hot, so refreshing. The cheonyeop was well-boiled and tender too. Dipping it lightly in the mustard soy sauce made it even more delicious.

Galbitang, 16,000 won — rib meat and ginseng in the bowl

The galbitang was 16,000 won, served in a very large ttukbaegi with a huge portion. There was plenty of rib meat in it too, which made it fun to fish out and eat.

I even fished out the slightly bitter ginseng and chewed on it haha. The meat came off the bone easily, so it would be great for feeding kids too.

The broth was clear yet rich, so refreshing that my spoon kept going back in~! My husband and I shared it. We're the type who like to mix rice into the soup, so we did that too haha. Definitely a delicious spot for haejangguk in Seosan.
