"It' s our first dinner in the nation of South Korea. I' m amazed and overwhelmed with all those colorful side dishes. Honestly, I was starving so I was so excited to taste them. Oh my then I met my beloved Samgyeopsal! That's the best! Being cook and cut in front of me was so cool! With the big onions and mushrooms, I fell in love with it. I loved to do the "ssambap" thing - lettuce, rice, samgyeopsal, kim chi and samjang together. :)"
Last March, I was tasked to write about my Korean Food experience. ahh Korean Food. I miss them almost everyday!
Yesterday though, I had a glimpse again of what it's like to sit in from of those wonderful dishes and side dishes and this time with my beloved former co-teachers. :)
We ate at Seoul Barbecue. According to one of the comments in
Zomato , Seoul Barbecue is one of the best Korean Restaurants in Quezon City. Hmm... let's see.. I mean, let's taste!

| This is it! |
I honestly admit that the ambiance was not that good when I entered because it's pretty hot! Well, we went there at around 3PM so the air-conditioner was turned off . I really thought "Oh my, it's so hot in here!" But then, it's all good when the air-conditioner was opened. :)

We ordered
Kalbi tang ( a variety of guk, or Korean soup, made primarily from beef short ribs along with stewing beef, onions, and other ingredients) because it's Ate Misha's favorite. *Php300
We also ordered
Samgyeopsal ( popular Korean dish that is commonly served as an evening meal. It consists of thick, fatty slices of pork belly meat. The meat, usually neither marinated nor seasoned, is cooked on a grill at the diners’ table) because it's my favorite, hahaha! We ordered two since we want to experience grilling in front of us (yes, you have to order 2 to experience that) *That's Php 600 for 2 orders
and
Ojingeo bokkeum (one of the most popular spicy dishes in Korean cuisine. The squid is cut into bite-sized pieces and stir fried in a slightly sweet red chili sauce along with some vegetables.) just because! hahaha! *Php 350
Kalbi tang tastes good. They said that it's like "Nilagang Baka" for the Filipinos but it has noodles, or for us, "sotanghon".
It's was fun to cook Samgyeopsal and it's so easy too. The meat was so thin and tender. I wish they serve it with mushroom though but we only got garlic and onions.
That's the difference between my Samgyeopsal experience in SSK (Seoul, South Korea) and the Samgyeopsal in SB (Seoul Barbecue). In SSK, they served it with mushrooms, garlic, salt and white onions. It's thicker too! While in SB, we got garlic and red onions and again it's really thin. Maybe it really varies. :)
Ojingeo bokkeum is my new favorite! I so so loved it! Not so spicy (because we're asked if we want the spicy one or the not-so-spicy one), it's a little sweet. I'm craving for it until now and I just can't stop talking about it with my students! :) 'til we meet again Ojingeo bokkeum! I hope I could cook that too!

Haha. Hindi na talaga namin na picturan ang pagkain since we're so thrilled and hungry . This is the aftermath!

We were so full and ended up craving for more Korean food! Wow I can't believe that I have a post now about a restaurant. I hope this won't be the last!
