Choiza’s Chungju Rice Table: Booking the Mulberry-Leaf Meal at Silhuiwon
Choiza’s Chungju meal built around mulberry-leaf rice was served at Silhuiwon in Dongnyang-myeon. Its name is 실희원, distinct from the buckwheat-noodle stop in the same programme. The restaurant listed the rice set as a phone-reservation dish, so check your party size and time before you start driving.

What to order
The key words on the menu are ppongnip (mulberry leaf), bap (rice) and jeongsik (set meal). They point to a table built around rice and accompaniments. Ask for 뽕잎밥정식 when booking so the restaurant knows which meal you saw.

Find the right entrance
Search for 실희원 at 충북 충주시 동량면 조돈뒷말길 26-6. Keeping the Korean name handy makes it easier to match the sign at the entrance.
Before you visit
The programme listed Monday as its day off and 6:50 p.m. as last order. Those are the broadcast-era details; a reservation call also lets you confirm the entrance and where to leave the car. The broadcast listing does not specify a parking entrance. If you are driving, ask the restaurant where to park when you call.
