Porridge for young and old

The neighborhood does not have many vegan-friendly options, but there's one branch of Bonjuk, which is a reliable source for plant-based food. Since the franchise specializes in Korean porridge (juk 죽), among several dishes are vegan by default. 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)

Each serving of porridge comes with complimtentary side dishes, which are not vegan - except for the watery radish kimchi (dongchimi 동치미)!

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.
