Once it’s been seared and scorched to fat-dripping meat perfection, its sliced and served with a myriad of greens, radishes and crunchy veggies for a DIY wrap scenario.ĭrizzle or dunk said wrap in any of the sauces or – the best part – a ramekin warmed on the grill plate filled with a pad of melted butter and minced garlic. In true Dianping fashion, there are lots of meat sets to fall back on if you just want a variety.Īll of the meat is grilled tableside, with the grill plate first slathered in a slice of melting meat fat to get that optimal char.
Plus there's other non-grilled-to-order pork dishes like Iberian Pork Belly Roll (RMB58) – a thinly sliced outer layer of pork, encasing steamed egg and cabbage atop spicy kimchi and peppered with coconut shreds – an unlikely combination of flavors that curiously works.Īs much as this non-kosher Jew is trying to push pork on you, there’s also beef, like Australian Angus Beef Rib (RMB88/130 grams) or Angus Thick Cut Back Brisket (RMB128/130 grams). You’ll find everything from Pork Belly (RMB88/200 grams) to Pork Ribs (RMB88/230 grams) to Pork Pluma (RMB88/200 grams), among others. Pork, pork and more pork is what coats the menu, along with some standout cuts of beef and a few seafood plates sprinkled throughout.Īll the pork is Iberian Black Pig, known for having a superior taste and quality compared to its other swine counterparts. Sorry vegan friends, you’re going to want to pass on the invite to this one. It’s BBQ so – no surprise here – it’s all about the meat. The kimchi is noteworthy in that it is significantly bolder in flavor than that which is found at your average downtown Shanghai Korean BBQ spot. Get seated at a table already stacked with KBBQ banchan – pungent kimchi, pickled cubes of daikon and mashed sweet potatoes, along with a smattering of sauces and spices for your soon to arrive meats. Snag a number on Dianping, roll down the street and be sippin’ on soju and smoke before you know it. The roughly 60-seater started drawing in crowds with favorable discounts during opening weeks last month, but on any given Tuesday there is now a line (though it moves efficiently).
However, a quick glance at the Chinese characters in the name – 金猪 – reveal that it’s really just a poor phonetic transliteration of jin zhu, meaning the Golden Pig, arguably a better name for a pork-heavy BBQ joint.
(How old do you feel knowing that was 28 years ago? Better question, what is Snoop Dogg actually smoking that he seemingly hasn’t gotten older in 28 years? I digress…) Based on the blaring rap and hip hop-centric playlist, one would think Gin & Pork – Jing’an’s newest Korean BBQ spot on the increasingly popular Anyuan Lu – is named after the American rapper and personality Snoop Dogg’s 1993 hit Gin & Juice.
