As everyone obviously know already i LOVE anything korean.. but most specially the food. I've been waiting for this korean restaurant to finally open in a mall where i frequently visit and i was so happy it finally did! Welcome SEOUL GARDEN HOTPOT! this branch is a smaller version of their main branch which is located at SM North Edsa. in this branch they offer variations of BAP (rice toppings) and HOTPOT which is basically meat, seafood or vegetables in a soup broth. i came at around 11am so I was their first customer, but even though i wanted to sit inside the function room the staff gladly accompanied me to be sited. the wait staffs were very friendly and they know what is on the menu. Their supervisor (i think he is malaysian but forgot to ask his name) was also very friendly to me. I originally ordered a korean bean curd salad for my side dish but they don't have it that day.. it's ok because the supervisor asked for apology and just asked me for other side dish that i might like. they are very professional and accommodating. they checked on me every once in awhile to see if i need anything and if i liked their food. i don't even have to call them to refill my drink. that's a plus for restaurants! their prices are reasonable because the portions are really big specially the hotpot which can be shared by 2.. the mains also come with a sampler set which i really like. the only downside for me was the price of the drinks. I ordered an iced tea, which is refillable but for the price of Php 85, i think it is more on the expensive side. other than that i think SEOUL GARDEN HOTPOT is a great place to entertain and have your daily fix of korean food cravings! i will surely pay them again a visit one of these days...

Super full after my awesome meal!!!

So finally i got to experience the latest craze in town. BONCHON CHICKEN! I love to eat korean food and one of my all time favorite dish is korean fried chicken. I was really happy when bonchon chicken finally came about. The place is cozy with lots of seats both for dine in customers as well as those that are waiting for pick up. I like how they trained the staffs. They are very friendly and welcoming and the best part, they know everything that's on the menu. When i went, there was a small queue so one staff asked me for my order so that when it's my turn to pay it will be a lot easier for me. They called me by my name and were very friendly with me. As i carry my tray to look for a table, one staff offered to carry it for me. i was surprised to think it was a fast food but the service is just great. As for the food, the menu is simple. It's basically all about bonchon chicken with a few sides, some korean dishes and lists of different drinks plus some dessert. I ordered the spicy mix and match boxed meal consisted of thigh and drumstick. The chicken was really crispy, a mix of sweet, spicy and salty and the chicken is very juicy. i also ordered kimchi coleslaw to go with my meal plus ice tea. i also ordered crispy fries together with spicy mayo which is awesome! i can't hardly walk when i finished my meal... I'm so impressed with the place, hungry customers are coming one after the other and pick ups are never ending. as i was about to leave, one guy is already waiting at my table. I give Bonchon Chicken 5 stars ***** for an incredibly great meal. GQ magazine was right after all it's really the reason to actually get excited about the fast food again.

Bean paste, tofu, and vegetable stew (Doenjang chigae) - Inspired

 

This is a tofu and vegetable stew that was inpired by Maangch's  Doenjang chigae 된장찌개.

I used shitake mushrooms, chinese cabbage, spring onions, zuchini, and soondubu or soft japanese tofu. i added some shrimps to add to the taste. Maangchi was right, the secret to a great tasting soup is a well prepared delicious stock. A really nice comfort food to eat on its own or with a steaming bowl of rice!
