about 3 weeks ago, Jaja, as part of her birthday celebration treated us to a Korean hmmm delight, i would say. Jaja is a teammate (office) and is known to many as a fan girl of everything Korean (or lahat yata ng singkit ang mata). she speaks Korean, writes a little Korean, talks about Korean crushes, watches those Korean youtube videos after work, has Korean bangs, eats Korean and maybe sleeps like Korean - if there is such a thing.
i don't exactly remember the last time i ate Korean food so that last time would have probably been forgettable. i didn't know what to expect in other words. so off we go to the K-town (go figure) somewhere in Makati Ave near Rockwell area on a Saturday morning just about lunch time.
so this is the place (i know, that is forgettable haha). it doesn't resemble a lot like a restaurant and because it isn't. it's more of a residence turned into a karinderia-like setting. being an observer, what i always look out for in these foreign food outlets/restaurants is if their local countrymen patronize them. as soon as we enter, the place is filled with - you guessed it right - Koreans. kami lang ang pinoy. the place is also owned and operated by Koreans. so it must be good and authentic.
btw, K's have these weird greetings that sound like "malay ko sayo!" haha so i greet back with "malay ko rin sa inyo" and then bow as a sign of respect. i don't know, maybe it's just me :P
so all we did was sit around the table then their crew, which btw are all Filipinas, served what Jaja ordered for everyone. let the pictures tell you what they are because i don't even know what i stuffed in my mouth hehe :P
each table had its own grill cooktop and someone cooked for us.
yummy! and healthy take note :) merong rice dyan pero konti lang.
some close up shots. they had this super hot hot hot soup which i liked very much pero di ko naisip picture-ran. daig ng matakaw ang camera hehe.
burp! ooppss :P
oh, this is our miserable attempt to imitate a Korean poster guy. and of course, we miserably failed :P
a very pleasant experience indeed and i was surprised myself. i am excited for the next one actually. not only were Korean food masarap (or baka depende din sa kakainan) they're very healthy too. no wonder makikinis ang kutis nila. subukan ko kaya kumain ng kimchi araw araw. hehe magkakasakit naman ata ako ng almoranas :P
we drove all the way back to Greenbelt 3 to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. that's another story and may require another post.
o Jaja, kelan na ulit? "malay ko sayo!" bow.
