Hamdon Baegot is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Baegot-dong, Siheung, Gyeonggi, where staff grill aged five-layer pork belly at the table. I paired cross-aged ogyeopsal with minari wraps, Korean beef minari yukhoe, and bibim naengmyeon for 63,000 won. Verdict: the staff-grilled meat and generous included dishes were especially satisfying.
Ssosam 208 Siheung Baegot Branch is a Korean barbecue restaurant in Siheung, Gyeonggi, with charcoal-seared pork and generous sides. We shared the O~Gamdong Set, premium pork jowl, and wine-aged pork skin for 74,000 won at a sofa table with my parents. Verdict: a satisfying pick for a family meal or group feast.
Fluffy Bake Shop is a baked-goods café in Mapo, Seoul, serving madeleines and financiers. I stopped by at 3 p.m. on a Sunday, packed up the remaining desserts, and loved the distinctive Earl Grey and blue cheese madeleines and gamtae financier. Verdict: arrive at opening for the fullest selection.
