Eating at a Korean restaurant
This weekend I went to a Korean restaurant near me.
My fiancee ordered a squid dish, and she read the 한글 name but ordered in English.
I ordered in 한국말.
"돼지삼겹살구이 주세요."
My friend doesn't know anything about Korean, he is instead learning Mandarin. He ordered in english.
Our waiter was impressed, and though what I said wasn't very complicated, it was nice to be able to use something I learned.

I ordered in 한국말(/한국어).
"돼지삼겹살구이(/삼겹살)주세요."
돼지 and 구이 are redundant because 삼겹살 is a part of pork(돼지고기) and we usually grill it.

According to the survey of Korea Tourism Organization, 삼겹살 is the No. 1 popular Korean food among foreign travelers in Korea. Usually you grill it. So generally when you say 삼겹살 주세요, it means you will grill it. In this case, the menu would be 삼겹살 구이. (There is no 삼겹살 for beef.) But there are various menus for 삼겹살 as well like '삼겹살 고추장 구이' (grilled with 고추장), 삼겹살(제육) 볶음 (sauteed with 고추장 or 고추가루 with vegetables).
