其實，這幾年韓式馬鈴薯排骨鍋很熱門，很多這類的專門店光預約就大爆滿，我也看過很多我朋友的貼文，看到那紅通通滾燙的火鍋，好像很辣，但是很好吃啊，然後，聽他們說排骨肉入口即化又大塊，值得一再上門品嚐，讓他們說的我都很心動，但是一直沒機會跟到團，沒錯，這個火鍋不是個人小火鍋，是要幾個人一起共鍋享用的。
某天，某位朋友又在群組內吆喝，要揪一團去吃馬鈴薯排骨火鍋，考慮了幾秒鐘，我就報名了，心想，總算跟到團了，當天，我蠻懷期待的到達現場，店門口已經有顧客排隊了，店門口的等候區有些空位已經坐滿人了，店前面有著石頭地板及木門，怎麼很有日式風味，不是一家韓國料理餐廳嗎？還好朋友有事先訂位，所以，我們就順利入場，然後就點了店家最經典的馬鈴薯排骨鍋。
大家都說馬鈴薯排骨鍋的排骨是重點，排骨肉很嫩，一下子就骨肉分離，給了蠻多塊排骨，每塊排骨都快跟女孩的拳頭一樣大，馬鈴薯不是重點，我們的鍋點了小辣，因為有些朋友不吃辣，對於愛吃辣的人而言，不會很辣，我們還有點了海鮮煎餅及梅花豬肉包菜，我個人覺得味道普通，就是一般韓式餐廳的口味，四樣小菜可以無限續，但是就是普通的韓式小菜，最後我們把湯底加上韓式泡麵收尾，聽說有不少人喜歡這樣的吃法，結帳時，每個人大概五百多元。
很多朋友覺得性價高，但我覺得不高的原因，我覺得排骨雖然看起來給了很多塊，但每塊排骨上面肉並不多，只是很軟嫩罷了，其它的食物，其實就是普通韓式餐廳都可以看到的食物，第一次吃馬鈴薯排骨鍋的話，一定覺得很新奇，像我比較能吃辣的人，其實覺得湯底吃起來不夠味，可以自己買馬鈴薯及排骨燉個一鍋，不過，至少知道韓式的馬鈴薯排骨鍋是怎麼樣的味道，很多韓式食物都蠻有特色的，然而，很多都只有第一次都很吸引我，我想，喜歡韓式馬鈴薯排骨鍋的人還是會持續上門消費，不過，我的話，回訪率應該不高。
In recent years, Korean-style potato and pork rib stew has become super popular. Many specialty restaurants serving this dish are fully booked, and reservations are hard to get. I’ve seen so many posts from my friends showing off the steaming, bright red hot pot. It looks really spicy but also delicious. They always say the pork ribs are tender, fall-off-the-bone, and come in big chunks, making it worth going back for again and again. Their rave reviews made me really want to try it, but I never had the chance to join a group. This stew isn’t a single-serving hot pot—it’s meant to be shared with a group of people.
One day, a friend in our group chat said they were organizing a trip to try the stew. After thinking for a few seconds, I signed up, thinking, “Finally, I get to try it!” On the day of, I arrived at the restaurant feeling pretty excited. There were already customers lined up outside, and the waiting area was packed with people. The restaurant had stone-paved floors and wooden doors, which gave it a bit of a Japanese vibe. I thought, “Wait, isn’t this supposed to be a Korean restaurant?” Luckily, my friend had made a reservation, so we got in without any issues and ordered the restaurant’s signature potato and pork rib stew.
The pork ribs were the main focus. The meat was so tender that it easily fell off the bone. There were quite a few ribs in the stew, and each one was about the size of a girl’s fist. The potatoes weren’t really the highlight. We ordered the stew with mild spice since some of our friends couldn’t handle spicy food. For someone like me who loves spicy food, it wasn’t spicy at all. We also ordered seafood pancakes and cabbage-wrapped pork belly. Personally, I thought the flavors were pretty average—just the usual taste you’d expect from a Korean restaurant. The four side dishes were refillable, but they were just standard Korean sides. We finished the meal by adding Korean instant noodles to the broth, which is apparently a popular way to end the meal. When the bill came, it was about 500 NT dollars per person.
A lot of my friends thought it was good value, but I didn’t really agree. Even though it seemed like there were a lot of ribs, there wasn’t much meat on each one—it was just really tender. The other dishes were pretty standard and nothing special, the kind of food you could find at any Korean restaurant. For a first-timer, potato and pork rib stew might feel fresh and exciting. But for someone like me who can handle spicy food, the broth didn’t feel flavorful enough. Honestly, I could just buy some potatoes and ribs and make my own stew at home. That said, at least now I know what Korean potato and pork rib stew tastes like. Korean food often has its own unique charm, but for me, a lot of it only grabs my attention the first time I try it. Fans of the stew will probably keep coming back, but as for me, I don’t think I’d revisit anytime soon.

但是看起来还行 如果肉不多的话 那其实确实不太好呢😅😂
是地，看起來不錯，也很有特色，不過，主菜是沒甚麼肉的大排骨，但是我不後悔，至少，吃過一次了 😁
