Especially knowing that there are more than one person celebrating it...giving us all valid reason that it should be treated and celebrated differently.
Celebration would only mean pigging out.
But this time, exploring other Asian cuisine like that of Korea!
Never been here. This is because the family is normally exploring what is just available and of course affordable to us.
But somehow, I and my wife were able to experience a taste of Korean food in our favorite..."Bi Bim Bap," which we enjoyed so much.
Going in to the entrance of the restaurant name "Jang Ga Nae," a standee of a Korean girl in national costume will greet you.
It say's..."welcome to Jang Ga Nae!"
I and two more November celebrants Iaree and Lala came in with a car.
We were then given food menus and I was really overwhelmed with the lists,
which I am seeing for the very first time.
But the great thing was, it has photos which will tell you the look of it...but you should try to know how does it tastes.
Honestly speaking, I allowed my two close friends Iaree and Lala to choose for the food that we're ordering.
And after a few minutes, I believe that only took like five...our food were served.
GETTING TO KNOW THE FOOD
DEJI GALBI
Deji Galbi, is a Korean Pork Barbeque.
Well, I must say that the taste of it is not far from our "Filipino Style Barbeque."
DOLSOT
In Korea "Dolsot," means food that was served in a hot stone bowl, a Korean rice dish with assortment of vegetables and a meat (which is optional).
YUK GE JANG
A Korean spicy soup with shredded beef with scallions and other ingredients.
This was what we first tried eating.
There are so many vegetables on it, some were similar to Filipino veggies like that of "Sitaw," (long green beans)...some I do not recognized at all.
It was spicy but since I remember we ordered for a regular spicy flavor of it...its tastes was bearable.
BIBIMBAP
Which literally means "Mixed rice," is served in a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (Korean seasoned vegetable dish), and gochujang, soy sauce or doenjang (a korean fermented soybean paste).
But above all the things I made mentioned, the exciting part was the served Korean paste along with Deji Galbi and other vegetables which will you wrap in a lettuce and a other leafy veggies to eat.
The very reason why we washed our hands before dining for we will be using our bare hands.
I am a bit hesitant of drinking a tea, I am more of a drinking water person. But I am not closing myself on the idea of having it.
We do not have much of a talk, for we were all busy minding our meals. Plus the fact that we had our dinner around 8 in the evening.
When it comes to food indeed it was a very exciting experience.
The possibility of dining again is really most likely.
Jang Ga Nae is located at 8137 Plaza, Escriba Drive, Ortigas, San Antonio, Pasig.
