Dongtan BBQ with nurungji and skin-trimmed ogyeopsal: Gogigaondang

Gogigaondang Dongtan Branch is a cauldron-lid ogyeopsal (five-layer pork belly) restaurant in Bansong-dong, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi. The owner grills the grade-1 sow ogyeopsal at the table and peels off the chewy skin so children can eat it, and this family started with 3 servings, added 1 more, and finished with nurungji (scorched rice soup). Between the homemade kimchi made with Korean napa cabbage and the homegrown wrap greens, Gogigaondang Dongtan Branch is a reassuring choice for a family dinner with kids.
