Suwon Korean restaurant takeout hangover soup: Jeju Eunhuine

The day after the fireworks festival, hangover soup for takeout it was

On Saturday, my boyfriend and I went to Noryangjin to see the Yeouido Fireworks Festival, haha. We had sashimi together with my boyfriend's friends at Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market, then watched the fireworks too. With that lovely view as our drinking snack, both of us drank quite a lot, hahaha. We were totally knocked out on Sunday.. haha.

We'd originally planned to have lunch on Sunday and go to a café for salt bread, but my boyfriend was so completely passed out that he couldn't even get up.. lol. I couldn't possibly wake him, and since I needed hangover food too, I thought I should finally try Jeju Eunhuine Haejangguk Suwon Ingye Branch, which is known for hangover soup in Ingye-dong! I'd kept thinking I should go, and it seemed like it would taste even better on this day, so I went for it! I first considered eating at the restaurant, but couldn't be bothered to wash up, so I decided to get takeout instead!

A restaurant near Suwon City Hall Station, with parking

The restaurant is less than a five-minute walk from Suwon City Hall Station! It's on the opposite side from Na Hye-seok Street, and just one block away from Ingye-dong's main street, so the access is excellent! It's also very close to Suwon City Hall, so it seemed perfect for nearby office workers' lunches.

There's also a fairly spacious parking lot right in front of the restaurant, and parking is free.

The restaurant was quite spacious, with plenty of space between tables. It would be great for coming with a group at lunchtime, or for dining alone too. It was clean as well, and it made me want to come back and eat there in person someday, haha.

A self-service bar and free bowls of rice

The self-service bar had extra side dishes including kimchi and peppers, so I could comfortably help myself. Another great thing about Jeju Eunhuine is the free extra bowl of rice! You get free rice when each person orders one menu item. It couldn't be a better service for hungry office workers, haha.

They've also just started serving spear squid mulhoe

Here's the menu! It isn't on the menu board, but they recently started serving Jeju-style spear squid mulhoe (cold raw-fish soup). I really like mulhoe, but I'd never even heard of spear squid mulhoe before!! I definitely need to try it when I eat at the restaurant next time, haha.

What's in the takeout hangover soup, and how to cook it

After looking around the restaurant, I took home three servings of hangover soup, and what you see in the photo is one serving! Each serving came separately packed with beef-bone broth, ingredients, glass noodles, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), and dadegi (seasoning paste). Since I'm such a broth person and love soup, I added one extra pack of beef-bone broth.

The cooking method was so simple: pour all the broth from the pack into a pot, add the separately packed ingredients, and bring it to a rolling boil—that's it! Takeout portions are often bigger than eating at a restaurant, but Jeju Eunhuine Suwon Ingye Branch had a truly surprising amount of ingredients. Even though it was hangover soup, there was so much meat, and I was very, very satisfied.

Hangover soup clear first, then with seasoning paste

Once I added all the glass noodles and brought it to a rolling boil, it quickly looked just like hangover soup served at the restaurant! The portion was so generous that even when my boyfriend and I split one bag, we were quite full!

I actually like clear broth too, so after eating about half, I stirred in the seasoning paste to make it red, haha. The red broth with the seasoning was tasty too, but my boyfriend and I preferred the white broth without it! My dad said the seasoned one was better! It really comes down to personal taste, so I think it would be good to take a sip first, then add the seasoning paste as you like, haha. It feels like it's been such a long time since I had gukbap (rice soup), and I was so happy to have such a satisfying bowl after so long. Next time, I absolutely want to go and drink it straight from a ttukbaegi (earthenware bowl) at the restaurant, haha.
