01. Honest review: how Yeongpo's chicken feet soup tastes

What I ordered at Yeongpo was the boneless chicken feet soup. As soon as you sit down, heotgae tea (Korean raisin tree tea) comes out first.

This is the heotgae tea.

Complimentary snacks ★★★★★

I was impressed that the basic side dishes came individually wrapped for hygiene.

Drinks ★★★★★

Cold glass! Cold bottle!

Chicken feet soup, boneless ★★★★★

I'm team soft-boiled egg!!!!!

I can't allow it to overcook. I fish it out immediately.

Since it's served in a big metal bowl, it comes to a rolling boil right away ჱ̒(ᵒ̴̶̷᷄ ᵒ̴̶̷᷄) Judging by the consistency, this isn't the kind you need to simmer for a while — it's tasty the moment it starts boiling. The spice is right at fire-noodle level.

From a portion-control standpoint, too many rice cakes is bad and too few is also bad — there were about five in there, just right.

Oh wait, there are bean sprouts too. I was too busy eating to get a photo.
