"On a recent visit for Korean barbecue, every dish impressed, but the savory egg soufflé lingered with me: a cloud-soft egg capped with a bit of rock seaweed sauce and, crucially, a spicy anchovy broth poured over the top that delivered deep, umami-rich warmth I haven’t found in other versions. It arrived as part of the house menu (easy to miss a la carte) right after a Busan-style seafood pancake, and I kept returning spoonful after spoonful, wondering why it hit so hard and even pricing out a dolsot pot to try recreating it at home. It’s a humble, warming stunner — perfect for winter — and the thing I’ll come back for." - Paolo Bicchieri
