Kobow Korean BBQ Restaurant, Sydney

These are photos from a long loong time ago, taken at KOBOW Korean BBQ/restaurant, which is on Liverpool St in the city near Sushi-Rio and French Riviera.


Traditional Korean Bibimbap Bowl

Haha KOBOW! Doesn't that word sound like the sort of sound you'd make if you were punching someone and being punched at the same time? *...yes, yes it does!*

Kimchi Fried Rice with Egg, spicy spicy!

Korean omurice! An omelette with fried rice tucked inside, and BBQ sauce drizzled on top! <3

There was also a little takoyaki stall near the front of the restaurant, selling delicious octopus balls served with bonito flakes on top. WOW, you haven't really LIVED until you've been served a fresh batch of takoyaki - the hot air from the takoyaki balls moves through the bonito flakes and makes them LOOK LIKE THEY'RE ALIVE.

Anyway, our box of takoyaki had us (or me, at least) enthralled for about five minutes, before we went in for the kill ...grawr! I have a photo of our takoyaki box but as it is extremelyy blurry I will spare you the download.

Beef bones soup bowl - a hearty and deliciously warming soup dish with egg, wintermelon chunks and noodles curling inside

I remember this restaurant had a display cabinet of fake (but very realistic looking) example dishes at the front, made of plastics and special 'food-mould' clay. Apparently that's quite common for the bigger restaurants in Korea.

All in all, the food was very decent, but for some reason we haven't been back since. Probably because soon after, we found out there was a whole slew of interesting Korean restaurants along Pitt and Goulburn St.
