Tried their Maewoon Pyeojjim (braised spicy pork backbone).
When food is served PAR-COOKED AND INCOMPLETE (because it looks like no where near the picture on the menu 😂), then they should inform the customer prior to payment. I wish I was given an option to choose different dish.
I have planned to celebrate a friend of mine’s birthday in my place. There was a power outage in my area so I decided to order a take away. Came back home and picked up the plastic container, it was COLD COLD. I live 10 mins away from Gunghalin, so I can tell you the food didn’t just get cooled down.
Opened it, a generous amount of meat on the bone and HEAPS of gelatinous bone broth. No garnish, no veggies, no rice cake (mentioned in the menu). My understanding of this particular dish is that braised pork means not too soupy, and other condiments should be accompanied.
I wasn’t sure if they made a mistake so rang the restaurant. The staff said it is supposed to be served that way. I explained to her that I have no electricity at home and was unable to cook. Suggested her that she should double check with the customers, if they’re happy to order regardless.
PLEASE NOTE: their Gamjatang also is served the same way, according to the staff member. So bear in mind there’ll be just icy cold meat and jelly-ey broth, and you’ll still have to pay the full price. See less
