We went all-in on the Duroc Frozen Pork Belly from start to finish.

At a base of 150g, not 100g, and priced under ~$7,

what a fantastic price!

It's perfect for ordering without hesitation and enjoying as a snack with drinks.

Let the Grilling Begin, and Time for a Drink! (But with a Soft Drink)

Each table has a call bell,

making it convenient as you don't have to directly call a staff member.

And oh – unusually for a frozen pork belly restaurant,

I liked that they provided individually wrapped utensil sets.

The basic side dishes (banchan) are served all at once

on a retro 'obong' tray.

Lettuce, perilla leaves, spicy green onion salad, pickled radish wraps (ssammu),

bean sprout salad, kimchi, garlic,

salt, curry powder, ssamjang (dipping sauce), and seasoned gochujang (chili paste)

are neatly arranged.

Sesame oil and black pepper are set on the table.

Sprinkle pepper on the meat as it grills,

and for sesame oil, you can pour it over salt to make a salt-sesame oil dipping sauce,

or add a pinch of salt and sesame oil to garlic,

and cook it on the grill – it's just perfect.

Duroc Frozen Pork Belly for 3 people arrives!

With a perfect ratio of meat to fat,

and its pristine color, you just want to grill it up and eat it right away.

Being incredibly hungry,

we ordered rice and doenjang-jjigae first.

The rice bowl came piled high, so generously portioned

that the amount in the photo is actually half of it.

(However, the doenjang-jjigae was a bit bland for my personal taste,

so I didn't find myself reaching for it much. Haha.)

Then, it was time to get serious! We placed the meat on the grill,

and right where the delicious samgyeopsal oil started to flow down,

we added some kimchi and seasoned bean sprouts.

Once it's cooked just right, we'd move it up and keep the grilling going!

There's something about crispy, golden-brown *naengsam* (frozen pork belly) that makes it

impossible to eat slowly. Seriously, it just disappears! 😄

Those perfectly grilled, golden-brown pieces of *naengsam*? Two at a time, straight into my happy belly! Mmm!

Honestly, I prefer popping two thin slices into my mouth over one big, thick piece.

It’s just right!

We experimented with various dips, from simple salt to a touch of curry powder.

And, of course, we couldn't resist wrapping it in fresh lettuce with *ssam-mu* (pickled radish), shredded green onions, and garlic.

So many delicious ways to enjoy it!

But without a doubt, the ultimate combination is

pairing it with kimchi, grilled right in that flavorful samgyeopsal oil. Pure perfection! Good!

DIY Fried Rice – Get Creative!

Even though our bellies were happily full of meat,

and we’d already devoured bowls of rice,

we still felt like something was missing to truly complete the meal, so

we decided to order the DIY fried rice as the grand finale!

We ordered two servings and fried them up,

and wow, it completely filled the grill plate!

We diligently fried it up and took a bite, and well, honestly...

I personally think it might have been even tastier to just order a plain bowl of rice,

then chop up some of the leftover grilled kimchi and meat from the grill,

and make our own fried rice right there.

😄

Even with plenty of kimchi, perhaps a bit too much *ssamjang* (spicy dipping sauce) was added,

making the texture a little sticky and quite salty. It was a slight disappointment, to be honest. 😢

The true grand finale? A refreshing yogurt drink!

While some of the side dishes were a bit of a letdown,

the star of the show – the Duroc *naengsamgyeop* – was absolutely delicious and stole the spotlight!

This place has a cozy, intimate interior and stays open from evening until 00:30 AM.

It's the kind of lively spot where laughter and conversation grow louder as everyone enjoys a drink or two.

It feels like the perfect spot to unwind and destress with a glass of *Cheongha* (Korean rice wine)

after a long day at work, or once the kids are asleep, rather than bringing the little ones along.
