Hongdae restaurant for mala soup chicken feet: Cheongnyeon Dakbal 1987
Cheongnyeon Dakbal 1987 Hongdae Branch is a chicken-feet restaurant in Mapo, Seoul, serving mala soup chicken feet in a distinctive pojangmacha-style setting. Even the mild spice level was seriously hot, but tuna rice balls, chilled bean sprout soup, and flying-fish-roe steamed egg helped me power through. Verdict: a place I want to revisit whenever I’m craving intensely spicy mala chicken feet.
