I’m not sure pork really needs aging, but aged-pork places have been popping up all over lately. Hannam Dwaeji is one of them. It’s right in front of the bar Booze.
The place
The meat comes out like this.
A bit pricey for pork, but it looks neat and clean.
Cold soup
Lid off
Grilling away.
As expected, aging doesn’t really make it taste any better.
Some chives on top
Not enough, so we ordered more meat
Still, we ate it happily.
Gyeran-jjim (steamed egg)
This was the standout. No idea how they make it. Maybe they picked it up from Baek Jong-won’s cooking show.
Kimchi-jjigae
The pork itself wasn’t any better than other specialist places, but the clean atmosphere and tasty side dishes made it a memorable spot.
