Korean congee

This branch of Bonjuk is smaller than any of the other ones I've seen so far. It is located close to the subway station Bomun, inbetween exit 3 and 4. You can get a simple but nourishing meal of Korean congee here.

According to the company, 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)

At the franchise, each porridge comes with 3 small sides which are sadly not vegan. But the the watery radish kimchi (dongchimi 동치미), so I suggest you ask them to give you only Dongchimi and not the other sides!

Generally, Bonjuk's porridges are a standard in Korea and accepted by young and old, particularly when one feels sick. Prices range around 10.000 KRW and serving size is filling.

Pros: filling and big portions, many vegan options
