“Wangamilâ€, a 24-hour sundae soup and pork foot specialty store, is located behind the Seoul Garden Hotel between Gongdeok Station and Mapo Station. The pig's feet in this house use only domestic raw foot, and the process begins by mixing fermented beer and soju to remove blood water. Clean pig's feet are boiled in beef bone broth for 70 minutes, and an additional 70 minutes in soy sauce broth with herbal ingredients and ginger syrup. The combination of not only shiny, chewy skin and tender lean meat is excellent when cut at the same time as ordering. This restaurant's unique tip is to wrap a roll in the rice crackers that come with it and eat it. The soft rice cracker completely envelops all the ingredients. “Woo Soon Dae Guk,†which contains lots of native sundae and beef in a light beef bone broth, is also popular.

â–²Testimonial (I went to eat Mapo noodles for food): It was a very nice restaurant. Large quantity at an affordable price. Even the excellent taste was good. I only ate sweet and sour pork and pork ribs, but the sweet and sour pork was an old-fashioned style, but I didn't feel awkward. I haven't eaten a lot of pork ribs, so it's hard to compare them, but I liked the texture of the seafood. When I ordered sake, the champon soup was also served, and that soup was also great. It's a restaurant I want to go to every time.

â–²Review (to eat Mapo noodles): 100% reservation system, restaurant that costs 32,000 won per serving. First of all, crabs in soy sauce crab are in good condition, have plenty of eggs, have a good flavor, and are not salty. Additionally, the side dishes are delicious; steamed mackerel with kimchi, grilled chicken, and rice crackers are served, and I think I can enjoy the rice even if I only have them. The seaweed, persimmons, and oysters served as side dishes are a perfect match to eat with crab. It seems like a place you have to go to once a year.
