If I hadn't passed the old man's table, littered with little bowls of interesting condiments such as pickled vegetables, salads and funky fishes, I'd have never ordered the soup. My waitress at Korea House was hesitant when I pointed and said I'd like to have what that guy is having. She told me it was very spicy and I would encounter bones. I told her I still wanted the soup.
Huge chunks of fish floated like icebergs in the bowl, which literally boiled when it arrived. Clams and shrimp swam about and I took every bite in a different direction than the last because of that endless palate of condiments. Bright, then salty, then sweet, then fishy -- I'd never get bored eating like this.
