When Koreans get sick, many of them look for soft food. Most of the time, they tend to eat porridge called ‘juk’ made by boiled rice. The reason that Koreans like to eat juk is that it is easy to digest. The types and flavors of juk have recently become very diverse. Thus, many Koreans choose to eat juk for a light meal even if they are not sick. Today, we will feature a place where you can eat juk in Pyeongtaek city. It is called Jukstory located near Pyeongtaek City Hall. Jukstory has been selected as a good Restaurant, which is a place that received hygiene certification by Pyeongtaek City.
