Gyeongju BBQ: 700g pork combo, haejang ramen at Ddeoggogi Ttaenggijae
Ddeoggogi Ttaenggijae is a ddeotgogi (off-cut pork) BBQ restaurant on Yongdam-ro in Hyeongok-myeon, Gyeongju, where an AI robot pre-grills the meat at your table. The writer ordered the Ddeotgogi Combo Special, about 700g of pork belly, pork jowl and ddeotgogi, tried seasonings such as cumin (zhran) and injeolmi powder, and finished with a bean sprout haejang ramen. Ddeoggogi Ttaenggijae is a neighborhood grill rather than a tourist stop, but the service, the flavor and the robot show made the visit worth it.
