Hapjeong Korean BBQ with bibim naengmyeon and Seoul Pay: Ijjok
Ijjok Kimchi Samgyeopsal is a kimchi-and-pork-belly Korean BBQ restaurant on the basement floor near Exit 3 of Hapjeong Station in Mapo, Seoul, where the owner grills everything for you. Instead of a set menu, the order was two servings of fresh pork belly at 180g each, one whole pork jowl (hangjeongsal) at 150g and bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles), all à la carte, finished with fried rice plus extra cheese. The thick whole pork jowl paired with the cold noodles, and the cheesy fried rice ending, made the meal fully satisfying at Ijjok.
