I wanted bossam, so I ordered Wonhalmeoni Bossam.

Today, while wondering what to eat, I started craving bossam, probably because it’s kimjang season these days. Since I don’t make kimchi separately, I ordered bossam just for myself like this. After deciding that I wanted to order bossam and looking through the delivery app, I couldn’t really find anywhere worth ordering from, so I chose Wonhalmeoni Bossam. In a way, I could say I chose Won Halmeoni Bossam, Jokbal because I had no other option, but after eating it, I felt that I had really made a great choice.

There were more menu options than I expected. After thinking carefully, I chose the value set, Wonssam. It really came out as a full spread, and who would have imagined I’d end up having such a hearty lunch.

This is the bossam, the main dish. There were actually a few kinds of bossam. There were three options: bossam meat, bossam meat (pork), and assorted bossam. The value set, Wonssam, came with assorted bossam. I think it included both bossam meat and bossam meat (pork). Honestly, when it arrived, I couldn’t really tell what the difference was.

Next is bukkumi. This bukkumi was surprisingly tasty. It has red bean paste inside, and after finishing the bossam, having a bite of this was such a nice dessert. It was filled with red bean paste, but it wasn’t too sweet, which was just right for me.

And there were salad, salted shrimp, ssamjang, garlic, and chili peppers included. When you eat bossam, which seasoning do you usually use? I used to be on team ssamjang, but at some point I started enjoying it with salted shrimp too, since that has its own appeal, so I like both. That’s why I like putting salted shrimp on the bossam and eating the chili peppers or garlic with ssamjang—the combination tastes really good to me.

With bossam, the taste of the bossam itself is important, but the taste of the kimchi served with it is important too. Wonhalmeoni Bossam has been around for a long time, so I thought the kimchi probably wouldn’t be bad. It had been so long since I last ate it that I honestly couldn’t really remember what the bossam tasted like. First of all, it was good. It was kimchi that went well with bossam. Some places give kimchi that’s too sweet, but I liked that this one wasn’t sweet.

And the part I fell in love with while eating Wonhalmeoni Bossam again after a long time was this. I don’t know when this side dish was added, but I wondered what these yellow and mugwort-colored square pieces were. Turns out they were rice cakes. You might think the combination of rice cakes and bossam sounds questionable, but in conclusion, it’s very good. They went together so well that I was honestly surprised.

Next is the sprouts bibim noodles. Even though it was a small portion, there was a lot of it. Maybe because I was eating it with meat, but it was enough to make me feel full without eating rice separately. While eating bossam, the spicy and tangy sprouts bibim noodles refreshed my mouth, making the bossam taste even better.

I wanted bossam, so I ordered Wonhalmeoni Bossam from the delivery app even though I didn’t have much of a choice. Maybe because it had been a while, it was so delicious. It was a happy lunch hour, and I made a really good menu choice.
