Based on the blaring rap and hip hop-centric playlist, one would think Gin & Pork – Jing’an’s newest Korean BBQ spot on the increasingly popular Anyuan Lu – is named after the American rapper and personality Snoop Dogg’s 1993 hit Gin & Juice.
But, a quick glance at the Chinese characters in the name – 金猪 – reveal that it’s really just a poor phonetic transliteration of jin zhu, meaning the Golden Pig, arguably a better name for a pork-heavy BBQ joint.
The roughly 60-seater started drawing in crowds with favorable discounts during opening weeks last month, but on any given Tuesday there is now a line. Though, it moves efficiently. Snag a number on Dianping, roll down the street and be sippin’ on soju and smoke before you know it.
