Baegun offers a Mokpo-style grilled ribs banchan, adding Baegun’s own sense of balance to traditional Southern Korean seasoning methods. It is served as a set meal with neat pot rice, savory stew, and seasonal side dishes, all meticulously prepared to enhance sweetness and umami. Here, you can enjoy the galbisal tteokgalbi banchan (from Australia/USA) and the pork tteokgalbi banchan. Notably, the chimichurri sauce with perilla leaves and the spicy marinated crab create an excellent harmony with the tteokgalbi. The pot rice is served as black rice, and the soft tofu & soybean paste stew, with its spicy kick, elevates the quality of the banchan.
The tteokgalbi has the visual appeal of a hamburger steak but a different texture. The sweet and savory balance is not overpowering, making it even more delicious when dipped in the perilla chimichurri sauce. The pork tteokgalbi banchan is clean-tasting, but some reviews mention it can be a bit dry due to the lean pork shoulder used. Overall, it provides a satisfying dining experience and can be a good choice for families. It’s said that tteokgalbi soup is also popular when the weather gets chilly.
