Three friends arrived at 5pm on a Saturday and every table was already taken, then shared the 600g assorted platter of pork neck, belly and skin, grilled once in the kitchen and served with white kimchi, scallion and bean sprouts, plus complimentary steamed egg, a doenjang stew to finish and plum tea on the way out.

It's Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch, known around Gaeum-dong, Changwon for its generous, well-rounded portions! ![Exterior of Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch on the Gaeumjeong Market shopping street](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-01-187ih-900.webp) ## Where is Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch, and how long is the Saturday evening wait? Hanpanjip Gaeum Branch sits right on the shopping street of Gaeumjeong Market, so it's easy to reach by public transit, and the market's warm, lively atmosphere greets you from the entrance. This Gaeum-dong, Changwon favorite has such strong word of mouth that we deliberately showed up a bit early — 5pm on a Saturday — and the place was already completely full inside. We nearly ended up waiting a long time. If you're planning a weekend or peak-time visit, I'd strongly recommend booking ahead 😙 ![Side dishes set on the table at Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-02-uiqwa-900.webp) ## Side dishes and the complimentary steamed egg at Hanpanjip The moment we sat down, a clean, varied spread of side dishes appeared. From pickled vegetables that go perfectly with the meat to a range of sauces, the lineup was really to my liking. ![A variety of side dishes including pickled vegetables and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-03-1njwb-900.webp) Before the meat arrived, us three friends — reunited after a while — clinked glasses of chilled soju-and-beer to wet our throats, and the real eating began haha ![Menu board at Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-04-1n5zb-900.webp) *Menu board* ![A glass of mixed soju and beer before the meat arrives](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-05-k8hc1-900.webp) While we were mid-drink, a fluffy, puffed-up complimentary steamed egg arrived. The nutty sesame oil scent hit the moment it landed, and a big spoonful revealed a soft texture with a gentle, savory sesame oil flavor — absolutely the best drinking snack,, 😭 ![Complimentary puffed-up steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-06-15zxv-1200.webp) ## What comes on the 600g assorted platter: pre-grilled pork neck, belly and skin What we ordered that day was the signature assorted platter 600g. This place's biggest strength is that the meat comes out pre-grilled once in the kitchen until golden brown. Less smoky smell clinging to your clothes, and so much easier to grill at the table. ![Assorted platter 600g pre-grilled in the kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-07-qnss6-966.webp) The 600g assorted set is packed with a nice variety — thick pork neck, juicy belly, and chewy pork skin. On top of that, white kimchi, scallion and bean sprouts are laid on the grill and cooked golden along with the meat, and the sight of scallion and white kimchi sizzling in the pork fat is just incredible!! ![Meat on the grill with white kimchi, scallion and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-08-28kve-900.webp) I grilled the pre-cooked neck and belly a little further and took a bite — the moment I chewed, the juices burst in my mouth. ![Pre-grilled pork neck and belly cut into bite-size pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-09-1gdhz-900.webp) Paired with the crisp bean sprouts and savory white kimchi grilled alongside, the richness was completely cut, and the drinks just kept coming. The chewy, salty pork skin was a real delicacy too,, ![Chewy grilled pork skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-10-2irtd-900.webp) ![A piece of meat paired with bean sprouts and white kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-11-r5h86-900.webp) The meat combo was so good that the three of us ended up drinking a truly enormous amount that night, having a blast ![Table of meat and drinks shared with friends](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-12-z0cdt-900.webp) ![Pork belly and scallion still cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-13-w00yl-900.webp) ## Finishing with doenjang stew and plum tea on the way out As we were finishing the meat, we ordered the essential closer — doenjang stew (soybean paste stew) — for a clean finish. The savory, spicy stew broth really settled our stomachs, letting us wrap things up perfectly to the very end. ![Savory doenjang stew ordered to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-14-1it9o-900.webp) Traces of a good drunk night ![Table with emptied soju bottles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter-15-1avod-900.webp) And before paying and heading out, they gave us a free refreshing plum tea for dessert, so we finished with a clean sip and a good mood 😉 If you want to enjoy a hearty pre-grilled pork platter with a satisfying drink at Gaeumjeong Market, definitely book ahead and stop by Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch, a real Gaeum-dong, Changwon favorite. ## Where it is - Hanpanjip Changwon Gaeum Branch (한판집 창원가음점) - 104, 31-7 Daejeong-ro, Seongsan-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea - 경상남도 창원시 성산구 대정로 31-7 104호 - 35.2074361, 128.6976947 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%9C%ED%8C%90%EC%A7%91%20%EC%B0%BD%EC%9B%90%EA%B0%80%EC%9D%8C%EC%A0%90/@35.2074361,128.6976947,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@warm-rice-route/hanpanjib-gaeum-jeongsijang-pork-platter/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
