The most Korean thing is the most universal thing! In Korea we have a culture — a concept, really — called 'jeong' 🩷
It connects people to people, it paints abstract pictures, and it lives deep in the hearts of Koreans. At Baekok, get yourself a warm meal and a helping of 'jeong' 😊

Why Baekok's pork gomtang broth is brown
Why is Baekok's pork gomtang broth deep brown instead of clear white?
Because it's not a regular pork gomtang — it's a yak-gomtang (herbal pork soup) haha

Pork gomtang with added medicinal ingredients like neungi mushroom and milkvetch root, maximizing a deep savory flavor 🐖
