## Barley rice before the meal and the self-bar at Yubok Haemul

After ordering, kimchi and radish salad come out as basics along with barley rice to start!

Mixing the barley rice with the crunchy radish salad and seasoned sauce really got my appetite going 🤤

There's a well-stocked self-bar on one side of the restaurant, so if you run low on the tasty radish salad or fresh kimchi, you can help yourself to as much as you want!

## How crispy is the perilla leaf pancake in the set?

While waiting for the kalguksu, the perilla leaf pancake included in the set came out first!

It came out fried incredibly thin and crispy, and the moment I dipped it in soy sauce and took a bite, the perilla aroma and the savory crunch were seriously unreal... 😭

We were so busy marveling at it that it disappeared in a flash, even before the kalguksu was ready hahaha. If you love perilla leaves, you'll love this even more!!

## Clam-packed seafood broth and hand-cut noodles at Yubok Haemul

While we were enjoying the perilla pancake, the seafood broth arrived, really loaded with clams! There were so many clams that the broth couldn't help but taste refreshing!

Once the broth started boiling hard, the staff added the noodles and seafood together!

You just wait until the hourglass on the table runs out once haha.

Once it was fully boiled, I tried the broth first — and instead of a strong MSG-heavy taste, it was mild, not harsh at all, and had a clean, healthy, refreshing flavor!

What I liked most was the noodles! Being homemade, they were really chewy and springy~

Overall the kalguksu portion was super generous, so the two of us left completely stuffed and satisfied!

## Is the Dongtan kalguksu set for two worth it?

With an affordably priced set, we got to enjoy a full course from the crispy, savory perilla pancake to the refreshing, chewy homemade-noodle seafood kalguksu.
