Seated in the dog-friendly section with pet dog Ppupu, the writer ordered two servings of fruit-marinated pork galbi (grilled marinated pork ribs) plus a doenjang stew (soybean paste stew) with hanwoo brisket and steamed rice, and the sweet-savory Dodram pork ribs glazed with Imgye apple marinade paired especially well with the rich brisket stew.
