pork bone soup with potato (gamja tang jeongol)

Recently I watched a korean drama where there was scene of a family eating bossam (boiled marinated pork belly). After that I was inspired to look for bossam. It's been a while since we enjoyed our bossam. I think the last one was years ago at Chung Dam.

Then I found out that the small family restaurant at the corner of the strip mall where Paris Baguette is located actually has bossam on the menu. So there we went on our trip back home after a whole day out in San Francisco. This was like the fourth time we were there. But by the time we got there gamja tang seemed like a better option given the cold winter night. Though I was tempted to order bossam at the same time but worry that we might have too much pork at one seating. So in the end we settled with gamja tang jeongol (pork bone soup with potato) and seafood pancake (haemul pajeon).

seafood pancake - crispy and not oily

Varieties of banchan - love the soybean and the spicy tofu

big pot of soup - had lots of leftover to bring home

While we sat down there eating, the owner of the restaurant was entertaining her group of friends at the table next to us. I tell you that it felt just like eating at someone's home. Very homely.
