Flowering Meat

Sangsu-dong, Mapo-gu·$$

KRW17000.00

Standard thick pork belly slices cooked over charcoal without special scoring.

Kkubdang

Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu·$$

KRW19000.00

Thin-sliced pork belly cured for 15 days with balanced fat distribution.

Grilled Pork Belly (Samgyeop-Gui)

Pungcheonga Cheongdam

Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu·$$$

KRW28000.00

Charcoal-grilled pork belly as a secondary option to eel.

Eunjujeong

Euljiro·$$

KRW18000.00

Kimchi Jjigae (Lunch Set)

Eunjujeong

Euljiro·$$

KRW11000.00

Kimchi stew loaded with tender pork belly, mushrooms, and served with fresh ssam vegetables.

Pork Belly (Bon Samgyeop)

Sindang-dong, Jung-gu·$$
