This issue features a tasting report featuring an in-depth review of "Marchoppal," where you can enjoy traditional Korean pork feet stew, as well as interviews with staff from the magazine's editorial team who visited the restaurants and shops that are popular on the food delivery app "Capichi." This issue also delves into the details of "Marchoppal," where you can enjoy traditional Korean pork feet stew.
The chewy texture of the pork feet simmered for a long time and the deep richness are also felt.
Passionate staff who deliver warm moments with smiles
Cho Eokjun and his wife Choi Woohee, both from South Korea, run a specialty store of pork feet dishes called Choppal. They have been working hard on their own. They wanted to bring their skills and passion for cooking to the Vietnamese table, so they decided to expand to Hanoi in 2016. The name “Maru” in Korean means “the peak” or “the best,” and they are pursuing a dish that lives up to that name.
The pork feet, the highlight of this restaurant, are sourced only from fresh ingredients every morning. The pork is carefully prepared and processed, and the cooking takes place in a clean kitchen. All the soup and sauces are made to the original recipe of Cho San, and using imported seasonings and ingredients from Korea, they recreate the authentic flavor of the local dish. When you take a bite of the carefully prepared Choppal, the softness of the meat and the rich aromatic flavors spread throughout your mouth.
We also have strict hygiene standards and provide fast service in the restaurant, creating a comfortable atmosphere. We also offer many benefits, such as a 10% discount on lunch combos and a 15% discount on birthday benefits when ordering a combo. If you order a chappal with a medium or larger size, you will receive free steamed rice.

The two varieties of pork feet offer different flavors and textures. The herbal pork feet are thinly sliced and are seasoned with a soy sauce base, giving off a fragrant aroma. The addition of herbs such as cinnamon adds a slight sweetness. The fire pig feet are cut thick and provide a firm texture, with a moderate spiciness accentuating the flavor. They also pair well with chutneys, seasonings, and kimchi.
