hogalbi

we've been planning to try this restaurant. it is hidden from a high wall just  a few meters upon turning right from Land Bank Shaw Boulevard. it has been drizzling since morning and traffic was heavy, thus the huge parking area of hogalbi looked inviting as well as this announcement by the gate:


we were greeted "Anyong haseyo, good evening!" by the friendly restaurant staff. while they laughed at their goof, we learned that the actual price is already PhP359.00, but that was okay. food looked and smelled authentic.




my mood immediately lifted while putting these stuff together. i suddenly missed Korea!

i went immediately to get my bulgogi. it was good~~i liked the beanpaste!!!  kimchi was good, as well as the samgyupsal.


my bb took some chapchae but didn't like it (too sweet it was almost good for dessert). but she enjoyed a lot of samgyupsal, and noticed how the people in the nearby table didn't know how to eat it properly. somebody taught her how to :)


anyway, at the end of our meal, this bowl filled to brim with oil. we made a mental note to buy this pan from a Korean store nearby to save us from unhealthy grease.

we will be going back to hogalbi, definitely.
