Jongno3-ga Korean BBQ with potatoes fried in pork fat: Cham Dwaejitgan

Cham Dwaejitgan Jongno Main Branch is a pork belly and black pork grill restaurant on the first floor of CGV Piccadilly, 100m from exit 2 of Jongno3-ga Station in Seoul. On a Friday night the writer ordered Jirisan black pork five-layer belly at 19,000 won per portion and two people worked through three portions, with the owner and staff grilling every piece from start to finish. The thick-cut belly and the potato slices fried in pork fat were good enough that a partner who claimed not to be hungry ordered one more portion.
