PORK DAY SAMGYUPSAL ✨

Good day to everyone!

I was feeling down a few days ago for a variety of reasons. One of them was when I found out that a close friend of mine was leaving her job and had to resign. I wasn't doing well at work, and I was having some problems at home.

As life is, things like this have to happen and pass by each of us for a variety of reasons. And, because nothing in this world is permanent except change, we must face reality and do what is necessary to pull ourselves back up.

So, right after work today, my friends @explorewithsasha, @prettyunicorn, @queenmeiko22, and @lifewithkaye and I decided to go for a samgyupsal. Just thinking about samgyupsal earlier today instantly lifted my spirits after being down all day. There is always something on foods that can change and boost someone's mood, just like mine.

We were so excited that we couldn't decide which restaurant to visit, but we settled on "Pork Day" as our dining destination.

I've never heard of this location. @explorewithsasha just suggested this to us, and we were all intrigued, so we went to see what was available. We took a jeep bound for Talamban (13C) and arrived in 20 minutes from Ayala. The restaurant is conveniently located on the ground floor of the University of Cebu - Banilad Campus, directly across from Country Mall (beside the sky walk).

We arrived around 4 p.m., but the place was still empty. At the time of our arrival, there was only one table with two customers. We were immediately served by their staff, who were attentive and smiley despite wearing masks. They also bow as a sign of respect, most likely because the restaurant is owned by a Korean and the decor is inspired by Korea.

The environment is cool and clean. While we wait for our food, I feel at ease. Their unlimited samgyupsal costs 399 pesos per person. With a 200 pesos penalty for leftovers.

Kaye started grilling the pork while our food is being serve one by one.

These are the foods included in their unlimited samgyeopsal. We had the total of three rounds of pork, two rounds of chicken (3 flavors, three pieces each), two rounds of kimchi, and two other side dishes.

I was surprised because their unlimited did not include Ramen. You must pay for it separately. They don't have running water, but they do sell bottled mineral water. Aside from ramen, they serve a few other dishes for which you must pay separately, as with ramen. I'm not sure if your 399 pesos are worth it, but I was completely satisfied. My friends with me over the meal are what really matters at that time, but on a normal day, I don't think the cost is worth it. Yes, there are many unlimited side dishes, but I was disappointed that ramen was not included.

Talking about favorite dish? I think I liked their three flavored chicken the best, especially the Teriyaki because it was spicy. Then their pork is also delicious. I also liked their kimbap.

Overall, the experience went well. We were all pleased with everything from the food to the service. The crew greeted us and thanked us on our way out, which warmed our hearts and made us want to return soon.

Thank you all for dropping by! Til my next food trip.
