NEW RESTO ALERT: Leann's Tea House

The name doesn't sound like a Korean restaurant which Leann's Tea House is but after the initial shock and seeing the menu, you'll know that you're in the right place.

Having only opened last April, this restaurant has already gained its share of loyal patrons.




NEW RESTO ALERT: Woo Galbi

The East Wing of Shangri-La Plaza in Ortigas is now a haven for foodies because it offers a a diverse line-up of "international" restaurants from Filipino, Continental, Japanese, Korean, et al. And having tried the Woo Galbi a few days back before I was invited to join the special lunch for bloggers, I happily confirmed my attendance.

Also, being a faithful koreanovela enthusiast made me appreciate Korean food and my hubby and daughter also learned to appreciate Korean food.


PR: Chef's Noodle Introduces Sam Concepcion as New Endorser

Bloggers and and the Media all thronged to Chef's Noodle in Robinson's Magnolia last week as the restaurant introduces Sam Concepcion as its new endorser. Sam Concepcion happens to be one of the most in-demand teen actor today and he joins Grace Lee and couple Lloyd and Shamcey Supsup-Lee as the latest endorser of this popular South Korean restaurant.


Korean Dining In A Foodcourt

I've been hearing about Mr. Kimbob since late last year and saw it first in a foodcourt in Makati. However, it took me several months before I was able to taste it. Actually, I was craving for something different and was about to eat at a vegetarian resto when I saw Mr. Kimbob. I'm glad I saw it. I'm glad it tastes good. I'm glad it is reasonably priced.



Bibimbob or Bibimbap (beef). P99.00




Curry Rice. P85.00

I plan to try the gimbap or gimbob next time :)
Bibimbap



This is a typical Korean that is popular with Filipinos. Why? (1) Because the name is easy to remember and (2) because it's a rice meal. A bit spicier though so if one is really eating authentic Bibimbap (not the Filipino fusion-kind), don't make the mistake of mixing the red chili paste with the food itself. Simply remove some of it and just add and mix until you get the desired and tolerable level of spiciness. The Bibimbap shown in the photo was from Snack 88 along Bocobo St., in Malate. This is the authentic kind since the Unnie who manages the restaurant is also the one preparing the food and the restaurant caters mostly to Korean tourists here in Manila.
