And a steaming bean sprout soup too!! It's a slightly spicy style, so it's great for cleansing the palate between bites and also works as a drinking snack 🍻🍻

Half-and-half jokbal (medium) for ₩40,000: how does the original taste?

What I ordered was the half-and-half jokbal (medium) for ₩40,000, with original and fire-grilled jokbal. You can feel the moistness just by looking at it 🤤🤤 And here it finally is, glossy jokbal!!

They say it uses never-frozen premium Korean pork raw pig's feet, simmered with about 20 kinds of herbs, vegetables and fruit, boiled fresh every day, and only that day's jokbal is sold.

Opening event freebie: handmade fruit makguksu

And the handmade fruit makguksu served as the opening event!! Is this really a freebie,, It was so good that if it weren't an event freebie, I'd order it separately 👍👍

A sweet and tangy fruit-based sauce with chewy noodles, and eaten together with the jokbal it's a perfect match 🤍

Herbal aroma without gamey smell, and moist lean meat

The original jokbal at Kkalkkali has a faint herbal aroma spreading with none of jokbal's typical funk, and it's absolutely delicious 🥹🥹

Lean cuts can often be dry, but at Kkalkkali even the all-lean parts are moist and so tender they tear softly along the grain, honestly melting in my mouth.

For the first bite I dipped it in just a little salted shrimp, and the clean, nutty flavor was so so good. Plus, we all know dried radish strips go with everything,,

Lettuce + jokbal + makguksu + seasoned chives + dried radish strips in one big bite is my favorite combo 😆😆 Eaten as a wrap, it was so so good too.

How spicy is the fire-grilled jokbal at Kkalkkali?

The fire-grilled jokbal at Kkalkkali Jokbal Bucheon Branch has a strong flame-grilled aroma, and the spice is about Shin Ramyun level, so even spice wimps can handle it. And my beloved fire-grilled jokbal 🔥🔥 the smoky flavor here is crazy!! The moment you take a bite, that grilled aroma fills your mouth,,

The spice is about Shin Ramyun level, so even spice wimps can handle it! The smoky flavor is strong, and it isn't only hot but also deeply savory, so my hand kept going back. If you asked me to pick just one of the two, I couldn't 🥲🥲 (both are so good)

My husband gave a double thumbs-up right after the first bite 👍👍 We enjoyed it so so much!!
