Lunch at Uldong Bossam near Dongseong-ro: bossam served as a set for one
While looking for a hearty lunch spot in Dongseong-ro, Daegu, I went to "Uldong Bossam," where you can enjoy bossam (boiled pork wraps) as a solo set meal. Everything from the bossam to the side dishes came out as one generous spread, so it was a satisfying way to eat a full meal alone :)
I usually think of bossam as something you share with a group, so having it come out as a neat solo set felt refreshing and nice.

- Potato pancake - ₩9,000
Isn't a solo bossam set just great? Haha. It's perfect for eating alone, and it seemed like a lot of office workers were coming in for lunch too. Even as a solo set, the bossam and side dishes came out so generously that it made for a really satisfying meal.
A variety of side dishes that go well with bossam also came out, like seasoned bean sprouts, pickled onion, salted shrimp, and ssamjang.
Standard bossam set vs. the extra-meat set: what's different?
At Uldong Bossam, the one on the left is the basic bossam set, and the one on the right is the bossam ordered with 'extra meat.' The basic set is pork belly bossam, while the 'extra meat' set comes with gabrisal added.
The bossam had a nice balance of lean meat and just the right amount of fat, giving it a savory flavor with no gamey smell — it was delicious. The pork belly bossam was moist and tender thanks to the fat clinging on just enough, and it wasn't tough at all. The clean lean meat and savory fat came together so that with each bite you could taste a subtle richness, and it was clean with no off smell, making it easy to eat without feeling heavy.
The gabrisal cut had an even chewier, springier texture that I really liked. The portion was really generous too, and since you get to enjoy both cuts, I'd recommend going with the extra-meat option!
The sesame-soy sauce you grind at the table
There was also a sauce made by grinding sesame seeds yourself and pouring in soy sauce — freshly ground, the sesame aroma was wonderful. With the salty flavor of the soy sauce added, dipping the bossam in it went really well with the clean-tasting pork.
Minari, radish salad and doenjang stew with the bossam
Eating the bossam together with the minari (water dropwort) and radish salad that came with it, the fragrant minari and crunchy radish salad brought out the clean flavor of the bossam even more. In particular, the fragrance of the minari and the crunch of the radish salad paired really well with the meat.
The doenjang (soybean paste) stew had that salty, meat-restaurant style flavor, with a deep, savory doenjang taste that went well with rice alongside the bossam.
Potato pancake with cheese grated over it by the owner
This potato pancake was also a real treat — the owner came over and grated cheese right on top of it.
On the crispy pan-fried potato pancake, made from thinly julienned potatoes, they grated a generous amount of cheese on top. The crispy potato shreds combined with the savory, mellow cheese and it was delicious. The crispy texture of the potato pancake plus the soft, savory taste of the cheese made it a great treat to enjoy.
Plum tea to finish: Uldong Bossam in one line
They also had plum tea ready to finish the meal, which was nice for cleansing the palate. Both the gabrisal and the pork belly bossam had their own distinct charm, and the pairing with the sides — minari, radish salad, and the homemade sesame-soy sauce — was really good too. On top of that, with the cheese potato pancake and doenjang stew added in, it was a set where every single dish felt worthwhile to enjoy. If you like bossam, I'd recommend this place for a hearty, delicious meal.
Highly recommend it to anyone looking for good restaurants in Gyodong or Dongseong-ro, Daegu.
