Boston Korean pig trotters

🐷 Seoul Soulongtang: Boston’s Korean Pig Trotter Spot—Hit or Miss, But Worth a Retry Craving Korean-style pig trotter for ages, I finally checked out this highly recommended spot (after nailing marinated crab in Seattle). The meal had highs and lows, but I’m already planning a return to fix my order. 🌟 The Highlight: Pig Trotter with Conch (Sort Of) Pig Trotter: 🐖 Great. Lean, tender, and completely odor-free (no “porky” funk). Tossed in a sweet-tart sauce (I think it’s persimmon-based), it’s refreshing and addictive—perfect for snacking with rice. Conch: 🐚 Not for me. The seasoning is off—no familiar Korean sweet-spicy kick, just a bland, salty tang. Worse, the conch is tough, almost chewy. Next time, I’m ordering the trotter without it—no need to waste space. ❌ The Mistake: Dried Cabbage Ox Bone Soup 🥣 Big fail. We’d heard their ox bone soup is better than the signature seolleongtang, so we picked the “dried cabbage” version for extra veggies. Bad call. The cabbage had a faint, off-putting “sour” smell—like it was slightly fermented—and it ruined the whole broth. Stick to the plain ox bone soup; the issue was definitely the cabbage, not the meat (which was tender). ✨ Next Time: The Plan Pork Belly & Seafood Pancake: Both were popular at neighboring tables. The pancake looked crispy with plump seafood, and the pork belly? I’m betting it’s charred, fatty, and perfect with ssamjang. Vibe: Casual, no-frills, with that “authentic Korean diner” energy—think quick service, metal chopsticks, and big portions. Verdict: The trotter is good enough to justify a second try. Skip the conch and dried cabbage soup, and you’ll leave happy. 📍 Seoul Soulongtang (Boston location—search for the address!) #BostonKorean #PigTrotterLovers #KoreanComfortFood
