Korean food

I moved last week. The experience was a pain in the butt, but I'm fully settled-in now and am enjoying my new place. This place is wonderfully convenient too, with lots of restaurants close by. I went to one a few days ago called Buk Kyung II, a Korean restaurant. Its my first time to any Korean place, as a matter of fact.


First up was this, which was an assortment of Kimchi's. From left, its daikon, cabbabe and cucumbers. Not bad.


This was quite good! Its fried pork pieces in batter, and the sauce was lovely. Its very similar to Chinese style pork though. The next few pics are blurry; I guess I was quivering with hunger which resulted in shaky photos.


Bibinbap. This was my dish. I came here with Korean friends, and at first I was a noob and innocently eating the ingredients in my bowl, seperately. My friends took one look at me, squaked "Nooo!!!" and proceeded to teach me the proper way of eating binbinbap.

Apparently, you are supposed to stir stir stir! There is hot sauce in a bottle that you squish over the rice, then, stir like mad!!! The dish is packed with stuff; beef, carrots, taugeh, mushrooms, fried egg, lettuce and rice underneath. It takes quite a lot of stirring to get everything homogenized and the sauce properly incorporated.

We had other dishes too; they all came out blurry, but I'll post one more.


Bulgogi. I tried this, it was good too. I liked mine best, as it had hot sauce!

Garibaldi biscuits

I was walking around the chinese grocers the other day, and I found....garibaldi biscuits! I have not eaten these biscuits in ages, so I bought a large bag with about individual 40 packs. For those who don't know what garibaldi's are, they are thin square biscuits with a layer of raisins or currants sandwitched in the middle. Very delicious, I tell you. Allow me to introduce them to you:


Sadly, these biscuits that I bought were a sorry excuse for garibaldi's. First off, they are called "grape biscuits", which is rather odd. Secondly, there should be raisins squashed in between the biscuit. Instead raisins are squashed on top of the biscuits; the brown layer in between is just brown colouring! There was a huge grapey smell too, like grape soda. Eww.


Of course, these flaws did not stop me from eating every single piece. Hehehe!! My search for genuine garibaldi's continues...

Couch Potato

Apparently, couch potatoes come in many different shapes, sizes...and species.

Wazzuupp??Bring me a beer.
