[Seoul/Bongcheon] Songhyeon – A meat restaurant serving delicious pork belly set meals with home-grown vegetables.

Inside the alley of Bongcheon Market
A neighborhood barbecue restaurant I can visit often and feel comfortable at. Songhyeon Restaurantam.
There are a few famous samgyeopsal restaurants in the neighborhood, but
I particularly like this house.

The phrase written on the sign reads “Good prices, fresh ingredients”
We found a late lunch together.

There are also whole duck menu options such as roast duck and boiled duck.
Herbal duck stew must be ordered one hour in advance.

The hall is quiet as the lunch peak has passed.

Fresh pork belly and fresh pork neck are 14,000 won per 180g of domestic product.
The price per 100g is also listed on the menu.
The portion size is quite large, so the price isn't bad.

Below the menu, there is a statement saying that they use vegetables grown on-site.
I have often seen them selling vegetables in front of the store.

Every single side dish is delicious.
I especially like the seasoned chives at this place.

In the season when the first chives appear in early spring
Seasoned chives with flowers attached are served, and this is another specialty of this house.

2 servings of fresh pork belly (28,000 won)

The pork belly at this place has a good balance of lean meat and fat.
The quality of the meat itself is just good.
Having tried the pork belly, pork neck, and pork jowl, the pork belly was definitely the best at this place.

The earthenware pot soybean paste stew is complimentary.

1 serving of fresh pork neck (14,000 won)

I came for a light meal, but feeling a bit regretful
I added one serving of pork neck.

Pork neck meat does not have much intramuscular fat, so it is a bit tough.
Since it is the neck and shoulder area, there is no separate layer of fat.
This is a cut where the texture varies significantly depending on the marbling.
Feeling like a protein boost.

It is a restaurant where you can enjoy a pleasant meal with meat at an affordable price.
This is a restaurant where the pork belly is really better than expected, but it is hard to express in a photo.

I'm curious about the other meal options as well.
It's a shame I haven't been able to try it because I always eat pork belly.
A neighborhood restaurant I'll feel comfortable visiting often.
I enjoyed the meal 🙂
