SAMGYUPSAL

This is not a Tagalog word.

Samgyupsal is a transliteration into English of a Korean word for “pork belly.” The pronunciation is close to how an American would say “sam-gyeop-sahl.”

Korean culture is very popular in the Philippines and so many Filipinos casually sprinkle Korean words and cultural references in everyday conversation.
