Family birthday meal at Oneungi Shabu Baeksuk, an Asan restaurant
Oneungi Shabu Baeksuk is a Korean restaurant specializing in neungi mushroom baeksuk (whole chicken/duck soup) and shabu in Eumbong-myeon, Asan, Chungnam. The writer's family ordered the signature neungi nurungji duck baeksuk (₩75,000), which arrived in a huge earthenware pot topped with scorched-rice crust and a rich broth easily shared by three adults, leaving everyone warm and full. With a premium birthday-table service for reservations, it's especially suited to family gatherings honoring parents.
