Weekend Food Tripping at: Korean Village

Remember I told you guys that I will tell you about my ultimate favorite Korean Restaurant ever? Here it is!!! This is not only my favorite, but my husband's fave and also...the favorite Korean restaurant of my mom and dad in-laws! They actually dated here when they were still young (Can you just imagine how many years this restaurant has been operating?)

This is a family affair so we have more food ordered!!! Enjoy the gastronomic photos! Just typing this post made me hungry over and over again!






Here goes the food posts....I do apologize for the ugly appetizer photos!
We came in late and it was left this way LOL



The famous Korean Fried Rice, yummy!
I like it that they have loads of veggies, chicken bits



Barbeque Chicken! You can order Pork or Beef
We had 2 orders of chicken!
Boy I love chicken! (but I can't eat too much, allergies) lol



Here's the cooked bbq chicken
Can eat as it is but we ordered Lettuce(not on pix, sorry forgot)
Their lettuce are the freshest ever!



We were told this is their new dish
The Asparagus Mushroom



Beef Stew (Korean Styled) yummmm



My hubby's ever favorite Chicken & Mushroom



Cold Soba Noodle
I love the taste of cucumber, you eat this by dipping the noodles in an ice cold water
(as seen on the black bowl beside the noodle)



Can you believe this that everything we ate costs only Php 1,560.00? (approx $36.00)
We are so full and happy!
I am hoping my kids will be able to eat in this restaurant
and they'll be blogging about their "parents" and "grandparents" having a date in this resto :D

  1. They don't look like the traditional Korean dishes. It looks like they changed to fit the styles of the Philippines. If you want Korean dishes, come over here girlfriend. I will treat... heh~ Let me rephrase that I could make you some dishes. I can't promise you it will be good... lol~ :P

I had carry out again yesterday for some Korean food ;) I got spicey beef stew awww it's so good. We do not have that korean food with chicken and mushcroom. Does it taste good ? I wanna try !! And, What is yakiniku ? Were they trying to say yakimandu ? that little dumpling maybe ?

  19. Being Korean, of course I love Korean food :)

    Except this food doesn't look so Korean, lol, except for the noodles. And we don't dip the noodles in the cold soup, we just pour it over and eat it like ramen, hehe.

    Now I want some noodles!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh Gee! thanks for letting me know and confirming it! Actually the server told us to pour it over the noodles but she told us to dip it first and give it a try as some people are uneasy to eat "cold" noodles lol! I have to try it again pouring everything! LOL I'll definitely go back! there's definitely a lot of fusion happening here !!! I bet in the US too? Are Korean food there Authentic? Now i really want to try real Korean food in Korea!
