After pondering what to order, we went with chewy-textured Dwitgolmok Gogi, Jabdam’s signature naengsam gimbap, naengsam fried rice, and mul naengmyeon, haha. ## Chewy Dwitgolmok Gogi ![Dwitgolmok Gogi, Jabdam’s Korean pork special cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-06-1uslb-900.webp) The Dwitgolmok Gogi we ordered is a chewy special-cut dish that reinterprets 100% Korean pork in Jabdam’s style. The fresh meat’s bright red grain stood out, and a savory meaty aroma gently spread as soon as it hit the grill, haha. ![Dwitgolmok Gogi placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-07-1fb8o-900.webp) ![Dwitgolmok Gogi browning on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-08-1a5np-900.webp) Once I tasted the nicely browned Dwitgolmok Gogi, its lively, chewy texture really came through—a texture fitting for a special cut. Grilling kimchi in the pork fat alongside it made it even better!! ![Dwitgolmok Gogi with kimchi grilled in pork fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-09-st6xk-900.webp) A can’t-miss combination guide on the wall showed ways to pair the meat with gim, kkosiraegi (crisp seaweed), green onion kimchi, garlic sauce, and more, so I followed it as I ate. ![Meat pairing guide on Jabdam’s wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-10-1fngh-900.webp) ![Dwitgolmok Gogi paired with kkosiraegi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-11-1iuor-900.webp) Following the guide, the pork’s rich juices and savory flavor filled my mouth. My favorite was definitely the second-lesson combination with crunchy kkosiraegi! ## Jabdam’s signature naengsam gimbap ![Jabdam’s signature naengsam gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-12-1qdjr-900.webp) Next came Jabdam’s signature naengsam gimbap, a featured meal dish generously filled with 100% Korean pork belly. The gimbap (seaweed rice roll) was packed with Korean pork belly and assorted ingredients, and just looking at it made me feel satisfied. ![Naengsam gimbap filled with Korean pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-13-1e2lw-900.webp) ![Naengsam gimbap eaten with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-14-szay1-900.webp) Dipped in the sauce served with it, one bite brought together the savory flavor of the well-stir-fried meat and nicely seasoned rice so well, haha. It offered a different flavor from eating meat alone, making it a satisfying extra to enjoy alongside the barbecue! ## A spicy finish with naengsam fried rice ![Naengsam fried rice topped with crushed gim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-15-1yoax-900.webp) The naengsam fried rice we had after finishing the meat came with savory oil and spicy seasoning thoroughly absorbed into every grain. The crisp, nutty bite of the gim sprinkled on top worked wonderfully with the spiciness of the seasoned rice. ![Naengsam fried rice with pieces of pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-16-5zwrz-900.webp) Pieces of pork belly throughout added texture, letting me properly experience the appeal of barbecue-restaurant fried rice. It was a filling way to finish the meal and fit right into a Gangnam pork belly dining course. ## Highly recommended icy mul naengmyeon ![Mul naengmyeon with icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations/hakdong-jabdam-pork-combinations-17-l7bq2-900.webp) Lastly, the mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) arrived with icy slush floating in its chilled broth and crisp toppings. The chewy noodles and cool, tangy broth came together to clear away the richness in my mouth, haha. It was great alongside the meat or fried rice, and let us end the meal feeling clean and refreshed. Personally, it seemed to have an extra special touch compared with the mul naengmyeon I usually have at barbecue restaurants—it was so delicious that I highly recommend it!! ## My overall verdict on Jabdam near Hak-dong Station Jabdam near Hak-dong Station was a place where I could enjoy chewy 100% Korean pork special cuts and generously filled naengsam gimbap together, haha. Thanks to the excellent quality of the fresh meat and the pairing guide, the meal was even more fun and delicious.
