I still remember the days (or months) I stayed in Korea.
I had a hard time eating as most of the really good dishes there are spicy. I
was stuck with bulgogi,
bibimbap
and samgyeopsal.
But after a while, I grew fond of the other mildly spicy dishes.
It is undeniable that the Korean
community in Manila is growing. With the increase in the number of Korean
restaurants and supermarkets,
you’d somehow feel the Seoul
vibe. And what I love about the restaurants here is that more often than
not, you get close to authentic if not authentic food.
Hello, Yoree Korean Barbeque Dining!
I was a bit iffy to dine at Yoree as
the B&B Italia principal I was with sure know his Korean
food given that he is married to a lovely Korean lady. But R, another
principal we were with, wanted to dine here as she loved the drinks.
What I like about Yoree is that it
has set meals that are good for sharing. And since we were not exactly that
hungry, we decided to go for Dwaeji Soot
Bulgogi
Set (PHP498 per person, minimum of two orders). The set includes usual
Korean side dishes, Juk (rice
porridge), Gyeranjjim (steamed egg
on hot stone), Japchae, Kimchi Jjigae, Sikhye (Korean
traditional rice punch), rice and Dwaeji Soot Bulgogi.
First served were the side dishes and
juk.
The juk was delightful as it had a
light taste and served as a great meal starter. The side dishes were your usual
Korean side dishes.
The gyeranjjim was fluffy
and had a lovely light
taste which complements the other dishes.
