Emergency food

Was happy to find this place, when a vegan restaurant in the neighborhood did not operate as planned. The only and closest option for veggie-friendly food was this branch of Bonjuk.

It is a common franchise, which specializes in Korean congee (juk 죽). According to their own statement, the following dishes from the regular menu do not contain animal ingredients or wheat:

- Sweet Pumpkin Porridge (danhobak-juk 단호박죽)
- Red Bean Porridge (dongji patjuk 동지팥죽)
- Sweet Red Bean Porridge (danpatjuk 단팥죽)
- Black Sesame Porridge (heugimja-juk 흑임자죽)
- Pine Nut Porridge (jatjuk 잣죽)
- Mung Bean Porridge (nokdujuk 녹두죽)
- White Porridge (hwinjuk 흰죽)

I asked to have vegetable porridge cooked with plain water (instead of meat broth) and staff kindly prepared my dish as requested. However, I could not confirm with the company whether the dry ingredients are free from animal substances. Hence, I am not uploading images here, yet.

Also, I forgot to tell them while ordering that I don't eat the side dishes and returned them. Only the watery radish kimchi (dongchimi 동치미) is vegan-friendly and it's a great combination with porridge.

As usual, Bonjuk's porridge was an emergency solution and a filling dish that could be shared among two people. The price of 10.000 KRW on average is very friendly as well.
