March 3rd is Samgyeopsal Day in Korea, a day dedicated to the sizzling, juicy goodness of pork belly (삼겹살)! 🍖🔥

This unofficial holiday is all about gathering with friends and family to grill up deliciously crispy pork belly, dip it in savory sauces, and wrap it in fresh lettuce with garlic and ssamjang.

At Kimchi in Selly Oak, we’re turning up the heat and celebrating Samgyeopsal Day the best way possible—with a BBQ feast you won’t forget!

🥓 What Makes Samgyeopsal So Special?
Samgyeopsal, which means "three-layered pork belly" in Korean, is a KBBQ staple loved for its crispy edges, melt-in-your-mouth fat, and rich, smoky flavor. The best part? No marinade is
needed! The high-quality pork belly is grilled to perfection, then dipped in sesame oil with salt and pepper or bold gochujang-based sauces. Wrap it up in fresh lettuce with garlic, kimchi,
and pickled radish for the perfect bite!

💡 Fun Fact: March 3rd (3/3) was chosen as Samgyeopsal Day because the number "three" represents the three layers of pork belly!

🔥 How We’re Celebrating at Kimchi
This March 3rd, gather your crew and get ready for an unbeatable Korean BBQ experience:

✅ 🔥 Special Samgyeopsal Platters – Extra portions of juicy pork belly for your BBQ table!
✅ 🍚 Free Side Dishes (Banchan) – Fresh kimchi, pickled radish, and all the Korean classics.
✅ 🥢 Fun Group Dining Experience – Perfect for housemates, friends, or even a cheeky dinner date!

🎉 Why You Can’t Miss It
Samgyeopsal Day isn’t just about eating—it’s about togetherness, laughter, and making memories around the grill. Whether you’re new to Korean BBQ or a certified samgyeopsal pro, this is the
perfect excuse to grab your mates and get grilling.
