Um Yong Baek

$20++
Failed to eat this dish in Busan, and was exhilarated when informed by my Korean colleague they opened a branch opposite our office!
Not a meat lover but super love the soup(unseasoned), both bone based(milyang style) and meat based(Busan style)!! Would like to try the bbq next (dinner only)! Side dishes- kimchi and chives - are also yummy.
The q system is quite challenging though…

Korean pork and rice soup ($21++)

While the photo does show its pork belly, I still took some time to google, learning ogyeobsal meant 五花肉. The boiled pork belly is glowing with QQ pork skin. Meat is flavourful yet no where near 猪骚味. Lovely! Cooked to tender, and fats almost melts in the mouth, it’s pricy but worth sharing with family and friends. Their popular soup Busan style Daejigukbab ($21.0) is nice but reminds me of what hawker centre sells, just with thicker broths, I would support local soup instead

(pork and rice soup)

Busan-style Pork and Rice Soup 4/5
Boiled Pork Belly with Skin 4/5

Unusual restaurant with lots of unusual offerings, from the succulent aged pork collar and pork belly with unique dips, to the drinks, like sparkling rice wine. Friendly staff.
