Hapjeong shabu-shabu with mala kalguksu and egg porridge: Nahonsha
Nahonsha is a solo-portion shabu-shabu restaurant on Dokmak-ro, near Exit 7 of Hapjeong Station in Mapo, Seoul. Meeting a friend after a long time, the writer picked the mala broth with the basic beef and vegetables, then added extra meat and the porridge add-on for a full course ending in kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) and egg porridge. The mala kept its fragrance without tasting heavy, so the broth stayed good to the last spoonful; only the frozen vegetables in the porridge disappointed.
