I love Um Yong Baek, but the aromatics are so potent there that it's not the best choice during the work week when I need to be around people afterwards. So it was nice to come here this weekend to load up on things like their pickled leeks and not have to worry about chomping on raw garlic while I was at it.
Actually, this might be my first time back in two years, and they have since opened a second location around the corner at Far East Square (80 Telok Ayer Street). I'm not sure if the second location is what spurred a second set of thin and thick lunch configurations, but that's the thick - yet not Milyang - version above.
It was better than the thin Busan one, especially since there were some fun slivers of fatty meat that they put into this one. We also had a side of myeongran-jeot pollack roe that was deliciously savory and perfumed with some lovely sesame oil.
