There was a new item on the menu the last time I was there. A bright yellow sign on the wall announced the restaurant was now serving 'Reminiscence Pork Cutlet'. (It sounds less awkward in Korean, and I was tempted to translate the word as 'Good old days'). I have good memories of eating pork cutlets in restaurants with friends in years past so I ordered that.

The man and woman who own the restaurant must have very recently added the cutlet to the menu because the woman served me and then hovered a bit. She asked me if it was any good and did I need more sauce. "Very delicious," I told her. "And there's enough sauce." She immediately went into the kitchen and reported my positive remarks to her husband the cook.
I wasn't lying about the food. The cutlets were a decent thickness and the panko breading was crispy. The sauce was flavourful without being too strong and the side dishes were the ones I remember from when I arrived in Korea many years ago. I plan to order it again the next time I'm in the restaurant.
