Abalone pot rice
The abalone pot rice is packed with abalone. It's loaded with butter, sesame seeds, and chopped scallions inside, and mixing it with the sauce that comes alongside adds even more savory depth.
This was my second visit, and I ordered the abalone pot rice last time too — it came out so clean and upscale that I ended up ordering it again haha. As a classic tonic dish, it's perfect for a healthy meal.
The finishing touch: nurungji
I think the real charm of pot rice is the nurungji (scorched rice)~ If you ask for more side dishes, they bring you plenty, so don't be shy — enjoy the nurungji together with some tasty side dishes :p Hot, refreshing, and honestly the best dessert~
Steak pot rice
The steak pot rice comes with steak, garlic flakes, and egg all mixed in. It comes with a sauce too, good for dipping, and also pairs well with the side dishes.
It was so hot inside that even though the egg came out soft-boiled, it ended up fully cooked by the time I got to it hahat. Mix it all together and top it with myeongran-jeot (salted pollock roe) — absolute jackpot flavor.
They also have yogurt set out, so grabbing one on your way out takes care of dessert too ♥
In summary
A healthy meal, tidy and upscale pot rice. Gome Mui has plenty of other dishes besides pot rice, but the pot rice is so good that I always end up ordering just that~ Next time I'll have to try the curry, tonkatsu, and udon too^^ Have a delicious and hearty meal today :p
