What does Gome Mui's abalone pot rice taste like?

The abalone in Gome Mui's abalone pot rice was chewy yet tender, and the rice carried a subtle abalone flavor, so it was clean and mellow to eat. The moment I lifted the lid, the abalone was sitting there looking delicious, and it felt like a hearty meal just from the sight of it 👏🏻

Mixing the abalone and rice with the seasoning sauce added extra savory depth and made it even tastier 👍🏻 You can adjust the amount of sauce to your own taste, which I liked.

Steak pot rice mixed with egg yolk

Gome Mui's steak pot rice comes topped with steak and an egg yolk, so it looked delicious right from the start 👏🏻 Mixing the yolk evenly through the rice made it nutty and rich, and really tasty.

Dipping the steak in the separate sauce gave it a salty, savory kick, and eating it with the pot rice was filling. Adding the yolk-mixed rice brought an extra nutty flavor, which made it a fun, different way to enjoy it :)

Pollock roe wrapped in seaweed, and a nurungji finish

Wrapping the pollock roe from the side dishes and some steak pot rice in the seaweed also went together really well :) After finishing the pot rice, I poured hot water in to make nurungji (scorched rice soup) to end the meal, and it was so good I enjoyed it right to the last bite 🫶🏻
