best hangover food in philly

i'm curious to hear what philly hounds consider the best hangover food(s) in philly. my nomination: the farmer's breakfast sandwich at le bus in rittenhouse. i discovered it while stumbling by in a haze of regret one saturday morning. it's comprised of the following: fluffy scrambled egg, potato, tomato, peppers, cheese and a bit of salsa in one of their sweet buns. they're apparently made fresh every morning and placed in a small basket by the register. mine was still warm at 9am. i wolfed it down in minutes and felt right as rain.

so what's yours?

(let it be known that the actual best hangover cure is proper hydration and a couple of tylenol.)

    The Cubano omelet at the Royal Tavern. Omelet with ham, cheese and pork, served with julienne pickles, tortillas and a spicy mustardy sauce. I recommend getting them with tots. Throw on sriracha, it'll cure what ails you...and get you ready for a nap later!

      for me it's the fried turnip cake and soup dumplings at dim sum garden. yes, there are better soup dumpling places elsewhere (nyc, sadly none in phil that ive found)

      but nothing makes me happier than that fried cake, hot soupy broth and a longg nap afterwards to cure my hangovers.

        Anything noodle soup for me... these days, the hu tieu from Heng Seng on S. 7th St. with the strong coffee they make. Used to be pho when I lived closer to those places.

          The Soon Dubu Jigae at Miran is my hangover cure of choice. Discovered it one day once I could drag myself out of bed after a night of FAR too much wine and spirits (and rich food). That hot and spicy bowl of sizzling tofu stew worked wonders for me when pain killers, water and coffee did nothing. Something about the rice, bubbling hot stew (with raw egg cracked and cooked on top of course) and all the veggie banchan makes me feel human again.
