KOREAN FOOD PHOTO DUMP
KOREAN RESTAURANT #1
The following dishes are from a small Korean restaurant in Campsie (on a small lane off Beamish St, near the train station, don't know what it's called!). Haha there were only two non-blurry photos~~
With a good Korean bibimbap, your metal bowl should be really sizzling hot. Hot enough to burn your fingers on (so be careful) but when you've finished eating the assorted veggies and meats on top, you should find a deliciously crispy browned rice bottom, which has been busy frying away the whole time on your table :)
Clockwise from top, there was the usual kimchi (pickled chilli cabbage), chilli beansprouts, shredded spinach, iced beansprouts, sweet chilli bamboo, and spiced sweet potato leaves
Different K restaurants have their own specialty side dishes, so even if you're addicted bulgogi beef and order it no matter where you go, never fear! you can still get your dose of variety from the sides.

KOREAN RESTAURANT #2
Outside Chung Jin Dong (on Pitt St), the sign says "Real Korean Food"
LOL.. we were intrigued~~
There were colour photographs of the food up on the walls, so we ditched the menus. I don't order beef very often because it so often turns out overcooked and gristly, but my sister was convinced that bulgogi beef would be good, so we went for it~~
Check out the honeyed potato and carrot pieces with sesame seeds on top! They were the best the best the best ! We totally couldn't stop eating them. Haha I even ordered double servings of side dishes just so we could have more honeyed potato mmmm. UNFORTUNATELY, this also meant double the amount of kimchi, which we almost died trying to finish = = ;
As promised, the bulgogi beef was deliciously juicy and sweet, swimming in its marinade, with chopped shallots and sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Glassy potato noodles were slippery yet chewy, dripping with flavour from the bulgogi soup
Ahhh. Bulgogi beef is officially my new favourite Korean dish!

AND I HEAR FOR LUNCH SOMETIMES THEY HAVE REALLY GOOD KOREAN BBQ BUFFET WE SHOULD GO TOGETHER NEXT TIME (I'VE YET TO GO) AND THE NEW JAP RESTAURANT ACROSS FROM THE TRAIN STATION ON BEAMISH ST IS REALLLY GOOD TOO =]
and who's this lisalicious person, reminds me of..well me XD
oh and yaaa there is this $12 all-you-can-eat korean buffet in the city that we must go to XD
>lisalicious; emm.. bibimbap has a pretty mild flavour, the toppings aren't heavily marinated.. the veggies were mostly steamed i think, to let you enjoy all the diff textures & colours! yup and the freshness
and i remember the whole bowl (rice especially) had a fragrant sesame oil sort of smell
oh but if you break the pool of chilli oil under the raw egg, that sauce will make the whole bibimbap taste SUUPER spicy (I usually scoop it off >] but ahah if u live in malaysia you should be able to take it right x)
