What comes in the boiled lamb rib set for two?

We ordered the boiled lamb rib set for two! The boiled lamb ribs came out in a portion plenty for two, piled high with chives — it looked so appetizing! They said the boiled lamb ribs are served fully cooked, so you can dig in right away without waiting.

It was my first time having lamb ribs boiled, and they were seriously so tender…🖤 There was no gamey smell at all, and the subtle, nutty flavor unique to lamb ribs was really outstanding! I've always had lamb grilled, so trying it boiled was a fresh experience — if you haven't tried it, I definitely recommend it!

Yum, with the chives ~🖤 They give you a generous pile of chives so you can enjoy them together >_<🖤

Four sauces with the lamb: which one works best?

At Yangmadam Bangchon Lamb, Bundang Direct Branch, they serve a variety of sauces and side dishes to go with the lamb: herb jjeuran that pairs perfectly with lamb ribs, a spicy barbecue sauce that cuts through richness, a sharp sweet-and-salty wasabi mayo sauce, and Bangchon Lamb's signature boiled-lamb sauce — so you can enjoy the lamb in different ways with all these sauce options!

Among them, the signature sauce was really delicious..🖤 It was spicy and nutty, cutting through the richness perfectly and pairing wonderfully with the boiled lamb.

Crispy sweet dumplings and spicy hangover hot pot included in the set

The crispy dumplings that come with the set menu — these were seriously sooo good, I highly recommend ordering them!!! They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, packed with meaty juices, and coated in a tangy sauce on the outside that made them insanely delicious!

That crunch! Amazing texture..🖤 They're great for a tangy palate-cleanser in the middle of eating the lamb, so I highly recommend ordering them together!

Next came the spicy hangover hot pot, loaded with lamb — perfect to have at the end of the meal🖤 The rich, nutty flavor unique to lamb hot pot really came through, and the broth was spicy and refreshing at the same time, with such a great balance of flavors that I finished the whole pot!

There was a generous amount of meat in it too, and Kiki said it was the best spicy hangover hot pot she's ever had..🖤 Definitely order this when you're craving a spicy hangover soup! It's the perfect thing to get as part of the set menu!

A flavor that makes you crave soju…🖤
