LULUWAY 滷滷味(安東店)
▶ Spicy Duck Blood Tofu Hot Pot $170 ◀
This dish includes cabbage, bok choy, enoki mushrooms, tofu, duck blood, meat slices, and tofu skin. Besides the ingredients, there’s a bowl of noodles, and we opted for knife-cut noodles! The portion is very generous, and the ingredients are abundant! The tofu is incredibly flavorful, surprisingly retaining the scent of soybeans, which is impressive. The duck blood is tender and also very flavorful. There are plenty of meat slices to choose from, including pork, beef, and lamb. The spice level can be adjusted; I chose medium spicy, which is not overly hot on the tongue, and the herbal flavor of the spicy sauce is rich—it’s a comforting kind of spicy.
▶ Special Soy Sauce Braised Pork Leg Noodles $150 ◀
You can actually get pork leg noodles at a braised meat shop! This bowl uses two servings of instant noodles, plus bok choy, cabbage, a soft-boiled egg, and pickled vegetables, along with a whole piece of pork leg, making it a very rich bowl of noodles. The skin of the pork leg is braised until very soft and can be easily bitten through, yet still has a nice gelatinous texture between the skin and lean meat, which isn’t dry despite the long cooking time—it’s very easy to eat! Both the special soy sauce and the pickled vegetables are fantastic.
▶ Pork Intestine Head $60 ◀
It’s rare to find a braised meat shop that cleans the intestines so well! Inside, they are super clean, leaving no excess fat, making them relatively refreshing and not burdensome to eat—those who love intestines will love this! You must order it!
▶ Pig Skin $30 ◀
When eating pig skin, the worst part is seeing the hairs, but their pig skin is also super clean! The entire piece is immensely flavorful and surprisingly chewy, which is incredible!
▶ Pig Ears $40 ◀
The pig ears are braised just right, maintaining a chewy texture while still having a gelatinous quality.
▶ Zucchini $30 ◀
You can actually order zucchini at a braised meat shop, how awesome! Plus, this portion is very generous, definitely fulfilling your vegetable needs.
▶ Lotus Root $30 ◀
Is there anyone who, like me, really loves lotus root? They don’t hold back on the portion here at all, it’s super generous!! Plus, it retains that crunchy texture, which is amazing.
▶ Soybean Skin $30 ◀
The soybean skin is the fried kind—soaked and absorbing the braising sauce, making it delicious!
