Um Yong Baek

The Deoulgireum-Makguksu ($16) features a bowl of cold buckwheat noodles with perilla oil. This is quite light and goes well with the meat.

The Soondubu-jigae ($15) or tofu with seafood stew comes with tofu and clams and it is packed with umami.

We also ordered Truffle Duxelles Yangsongi Gui ($7.10 / 4 pieces). The grilled mushrooms stuffed with chopped mushroom and truffle oil are pretty good.

We ordered the small UYB Set ($81 / 470g) which consisted of pork collar, jowl and belly. The meat was really well-grilled (thanks to our table-side server) and it was tender, juicy and full of flavour. I was really impressed with the variety of condiments and side dishes that were meant to be paired with the meat, such as the anchovy sauce, barley makjang, and grilled white kimchi. The spicy, nutty, acidic and savoury flavours complemented the meat and cut through the greasiness.

This was really good but just a tat salty. Need to add rice to balance the taste.

Wow this was on the house and it was deeleecious!!
