Our Korean Samgyupsal Experience

For the first time last Sunday after my duty at the office, hubby and I, went to this Korean Samgyupsal Restaurant in the mall that the office manages and ate their unlimited Samgyupsal meal.
Samgyupsal or samgyeopsal is grilled pork belly strips, a Korean dish as you can see in the picture I got from google.
Along with the unlimited samgyupsal, we get to eat the buffet consisting of different veggie meals. Kimchi was one of them.
We got to grill four times of what that man in the picture is cutting. So you can imagine how much fat, we have eaten. The two teeners on the next table had grilled a lot of times. Well, at least they are still young. 
Hubby and I ate a lot of it too, along with the kimchi, which we both found so delicious and a perfect pair, since they were spicy. At least, kimchi was a veggie and good thing also we are taking our cholesterol meds.
Oh my, I don’t know if the samgyupsal we ate was what caused my legs and ankles to swell that night when we arrived home. 
Hubby and I promised ourselves after that, that we will never eat samgyupsal anymore. But maybe yes, if it is purely lean meat.
Have you ever tasted Korean samgyupsal? Did you like it?
Note: Pictures are from google, since hubby don't like taking pictures when in a restaurant.

No, we have not tried it; but I won't because it looks just like bacon! We prefer "kimbap" one that has so many vegetables in it and it is served sizzling. So you also like kimchi? Good thing you had it to sweep away the fats!

It is thinly sliced pork belly, It is not cured, so it won't taste like bacon.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I see, it is for sale not cured also here in Switzerland. We do not eat bacon, so I do not really know hot it tastes.

@Courage7 I went to a rheumatologist and she said it is but natural that my feet swell, because I am the whole day sitting in front of my computer. So, at the end of the day it is already swollen. She told me to raise it in a piled up pillows which I do at night. In the morning , the swelling has worn off.

You can find this in provinces like Sichuan, Guizhou and Hubei which has a much spicy preference in their diets. I am sure you will make a trip to Chengdu where you can see the panda sanctuaries and you can experience the Sichuan Hot Pot.

No, we didn't do that. Though, there are cabbage leaves at the buffet, but we didn't get it. We are first timers in going to a Korean restaurant, so we don't know it can be used as wrap.
But if it is lettuce, I will get and wrap the samgyupsal and eat it. I love lettuce.

@birjudanak I think, I would be weak if I have eaten meat at least once a week.

I do injustice to myself at buffets. I can hardly get to so much out there. Good you ate well. Forget the cholesterol. You have tablets to take care of that (lol)

There is no need for you worry about cholesterol level.You don't regularly eat it ,just spoiled yourselves once in a while.

Oh Samgyupsal it's yummy. Here in Korea, there are a lot of Samgyupsal restaurants.They are mostly jampacked during weekends. You what, the Samgyupsal here in Korea is tastier than we have there in the Philippines. I guess it's because of the meat.

I'd like to try Sangyupsal. From you story, it's sounds really deliciously. I have only eaten Bibimbap with kimchi. I love kimchi. I'm glad you and your husband had an awesome dinner. I'm sorry about the swelling.
