Korean Barbeque

A couple weeks ago, we had a family dinner at a Korean barbeque restaurant. It was a surprise. A very good surprise. We started out with grilling bulgogi and galbi. Yummy. I have loved bulgogi since the first time I tasted it, many many years ago. But galbi was a new discovery, except the bone was the large majority of it so not much meat.

A chicken dish came next with banchans including kimchi as always. There were also small dishes of mu-chae, white radish, miyeok, a type of seaweed and an assortment of others that I can't remember. Possibly due to the excitement of all the food.



The last dish to arrive was bibimbap. It was very festive and included pretty much everything. A colorful and tasty assortment of vegetables, meat, eggs and rice. Hot sauce is added afterwards before mixing everything together.


For dessert, I had tempura ice cream, which is basically fried ice cream. I was not satisfied. The ice cream had at least a one inch thick layer of just basically, dough.


Luckily, my cousin had ordered green tea mochi. So maybe it's a Japanese treat rather than a Korean one, but that's ok. Not only was it's appearance more appealing, it was sweet and light. A little delight to end the meal happily.
