Gosame is also listed as a pork-free restaurant under the Seoul Tourism Association’s Salam Seoul programme, meaning none of its dishes contain pork.
Malaysian Ammar Shahrin first tried Gosame in 2010, while studying in South Korea, after his Korean friends took him there.
Ammar said he helped develop the menu for Gosame Malaysia and made regular trips to South Korea to keep the taste consistent while keeping it familiar to the Malaysian palate.
