Here’s the lowdown on SP’s most unexpected culinary gem: 🌟 Must-Order Dishes That Wow Kimchi Pork Omurice (Heavenly Combo Alert!): Massive portion of kimchi fried rice wrapped in a fluffy omelet. 🍳 Perfect for sharing (we split one between three!). Spicy, savory, and dangerously addictive—kimchi lovers, this is your holy grail. Duck Curry Rice (SP’s Spiciest Curry): First curry in SP with real heat! 🌶️ Tender duck in a rich, spicy sauce—just be warned, duck has a slight gamey taste.
