The Best Korean Samgyupsal Restaurant in Thailand.
Have you ever smelled the aroma of amazing meat being grilled on the streets of Korea? If not, it’s a scent that will undoubtedly make your mouth water. Korean barbecue is the epitome of comfort grilling; it gained worldwide popularity as a result of the influx of Korean culture through movies, TV shows, and pop music. This country’s influence is strong in Thailand.
The dish is thought to have gained popularity in the 1960s, when the price of soju fell and people needed a dish to go with it, so they chose pork belly due to its low price at the time. Samgyeopsal is traditionally cooked at the table in a special pan designed to allow the fat to run off the sides, whether at home or in restaurants.
FACT: Did you know that on March 3rd, Koreans celebrate “Samgyeopsal Day”? In South Korea, where it is celebrated every year, average daily sales of samgyeopsal rise as more Koreans appear to observe this special day. It is observed on March 3 because the number 3 is pronounced “ssam” in Korean.
Pork belly is inexpensive, easy to cook, and delicious. The literal translation of “samgyupsal” is three-layered meat (flesh, fat and skin), and it’s very popular in Korea. It’s best enjoyed wrapped in fresh lettuce, served with side dishes and a semi-sweet and spicy sauce called ssamjang.
