Daepae Sinhwa (대패신화) is a thin-sliced pork belly (daepae samgyeopsal) restaurant in Seochang-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon, known for its 369 event that gives free soju or beer depending on group size and a weekday lunch all-you-can-eat pork belly ssambap (lettuce wrap rice) deal at 12,900 won for 90 minutes. On a weekday evening the writer ordered 5 servings of thin-sliced pork belly at 4,900 won per 100g plus the 1,500 won salad bar, grilling kimchi and bean sprouts alongside and finishing with a bowl of rice. Daepae Sinhwa is cheap but not careless, a dependable Seochang-dong BBQ spot for work dinners and family meals.
