What comes in the 65,000 won Gourmet Set, and how does it taste?

The Kkotdwaeji Sikdang Gourmet Set comes with three types of meat — pork belly, pork neck, and pork jowl — along with a 9-side banchan spread and steamed egg. The meat is fully grilled in the kitchen before serving, and they say they only use hand-selected top-20% domestic Korean pork.

They say they only use hand-selected top-20% domestic Korean pork. And it comes with a colorful 9-side banchan spread, so you get to enjoy the meat in lots of different ways ~! Most of all, having them grill everything in the kitchen is really nice.. 🤍

The meat is genuinely tender and delicious, juices bursting out 💥🧨 It looks so good.. I want to eat it again 🥺🥺

Order the Gourmet Set and you get three types of meat — pork belly, neck, jowl — with basic sides of the 9-side banchan + steamed egg! The side dishes themselves came out really neatly arranged, I wanted to bring my parents here. It felt spotless and well-managed, like it just opened recently!

Best pork I've eaten this year, honestly.. The rice cake that comes with it is also so chewy and delicious ㅜㅜ

I love pork neck the most, so of course the neck was the best of all..! It's good just dipped in salt, but wrapping it with the lettuce and greens makes it 382648 times more delicious ✌🏻✌🏻 If you run out of banchan, you can order more from the kiosk, so no need to call the owner over — so convenient.

How is pork dipped in soybean and curry powder?

Kkotdwaeji Sikdang Gyeongsan Branch also serves soybean powder and curry powder for dipping. I thought that combination only worked with pork skin, but it added great savory depth to various cuts of meat too.

The soybean + curry powder combo was also unique! I thought it only paired well with pork skin, but dipping various cuts of meat in it was still delicious with great savory flavor.

Mul-naengmyeon for dessert, 7,000 won

After finishing all the meat, we ordered mul-naengmyeon at ₩7,000 for dessert. The chewy noodles with an icy broth were seriously delicious, and the portion was pretty generous too.

You know cold noodles for dessert are non-negotiable! The chewy noodles with the icy broth were so delicious haha. I think this might be my last cold noodles of the year ~??

The portion is generous too‼️ The noodles just kept coming no matter how much we ate.. The tangy-sweet broth was already well seasoned on its own, so I didn't even need to add the vinegar or mustard that came on the side!

Candy at the register and bringing your own cake
