4.5
(48 reviews)Mipo Halmae is a blowfish specialty tucked near Haeundae beach. Small banchan like tangy-sweet seasoned puffer skin and bean sprouts whet the appetite before the main dish. The signature is a brisk, simple — a boiling pot of blowfish topped with heaps of bean sprouts and minari — prized for its clear, restorative broth and often chosen as a hangover cure. Another local favorite is bok : chewy slices of puffer wrapped with mushrooms and bean sprouts and dipped into a sharp mustard sauce. A splash of vinegar in the soup before using the dipping sauce is a recommended trick.
