I walked by earlier today and was intrigued by the sigh proclaiming "best pork bone stew in Toronto". I'd never heard of the dish. My experience with Korean food until know was BBQ beef and Kimchi. The photo of the dish and other items looked very appealing. I read reviews and one reviewer was excited because the stew had a lot of bones. Not normally an ingredient one would want a lot of.
By dinner I knew I had to try it. Good sized lower level restaurant. The decor was not Asian but very nice. Not very busy at first but it picked up soon after I sat down. The staff is very pleasant. I ordered and my meal arrived after a brief wait. The portion is generous and comes with rice and five sides or add ins. Sprouted mung beans, glass noodles, kimchi, potatoes and seaweed. The bowl of stew was stacked high with bones in a reddish broth. The bones are from the spine and loaded with meat and gelatinous fat and sinew that melts in your mouth. Note: a lot of bones IS good. The broth is rich, bordering on gamey. Full of flavor and the heat builds as yo eat it. I started gnawing on the bones then progressed to using the chopsticks to strip the bones. Fantastic!
