It was sweet without being overly intense, so I kept reaching for more, and paired with the basic side dishes, it was delicious without getting heavy. ![Pork galbi meat on the bone grilled thoroughly](https://img.superchart.com/images/choodang-uga-gangneung-pet-friendly-galbi/choodang-uga-gangneung-pet-friendly-galbi-19-vthwd-900.webp) You know the real kick of pork galbi is the meat attached to the bone, right! Grilled thoroughly, it was fun to tear off and chew in a satisfying, chewy way haha. ## Why you should add the ₩5,000 dessert doenjang jjigae ![Dessert doenjang jjigae with tofu and vegetables, served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/choodang-uga-gangneung-pet-friendly-galbi/choodang-uga-gangneung-pet-friendly-galbi-20-1iunv-900.webp) The dessert doenjang jjigae comes with plenty of tofu and vegetables in a hot soybean paste broth, plus a bowl of rice, making it a hearty match with the meat. Mix the rice into the savory broth and you'll finish the whole bowl in no time — definitely order it along with your meal!
