Seongsu-dong Hot Spot! French-Style Pork Soup Restaurant ‘Baekok Seongsu,’ A Must-Visit 🍲

Hello! With the weather turning colder these days, it’s the perfect season for warm and hearty soups. Recently, I saw ‘Baekok Seongsu’ featured on KBS2’s ‘2TV Live Info’, and now I can’t stop thinking about visiting this place. 🤤

French-Style Pork Soup? What’s Different About It?

When you think of pork soup, you probably imagine a clear broth with a few pieces of meat floating in it, right? But ‘Baekok Seongsu’ takes it to another level by incorporating French cooking techniques.

• Meat: They use pork shoulder, which is lean yet flavorful, giving the dish a rich taste without being greasy.
• Broth: The broth is deep and clean in flavor, with a subtle hint of garlic that enhances the taste without any heaviness.
• Special Features: The portions of meat are incredibly generous, making just one bowl enough to leave you feeling full and satisfied. Doesn’t that sound amazing? 😍
