The sea urchin and horned turban seaweed soup had a warm and deep flavor, and the soft texture and savory flavor went well together.
It felt comforting to eat because it was full of healthy ingredients.
The abalone and crab nutritious porridge was also very generous, and the crab was large, so I could feel the freshness every time I took a spoonful.
Eating the soft white rice porridge with crunchy kimchi made me feel comfortable, and it was perfect for breakfast.
