Took Bae Gi Korean Restaurant

Yup its another post, on the same day! Aren't you lucky ducks.

Later today, I picked my cousin up from East Perth train station as he works in Albany as a podiatrist and was coming back to pick up his car. So after a bit of window shopping at Claremont Quarter, we went to Took Bae Gi Korean for dinner. At this point Il'd swear I was still 75% full from my vietnamese pho lunch (see previous post) and I would probably skip dinner.

For those who know me, you are probably all shaking your heads furiously thinking 'NO WAY REENA EATS ANYTHING IF U PUT IT IN FRONT OF HER'

Well fine, you win. I ate. 

Hot stone bowl spicy fish bibimbap

I had a spicy fish bibimbap. Bibimbap is a signature korean dish meaning 'mixed rice' and is commonly served in a hot stone bowl as shown above. Bibimbap is basically white rice, with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables), gochujang (chilli pepper paste) and a choice of meat to accompany the dish. 

As I mentioned earlier, I was totally not intending to finish this. But one spoon became two, two became three and ..... the rest is history, or rather, in my stomach :D

How can you say no to this?

Kimchi Pancake

We shared a kimchi pancake and kimchi soup. This is my first time trying a korean pancake. I personally thought this was a bit on the dry side, but it still tasted decent nonetheless. 

Kimchi soup

The kimchi soup looked extremely appetizing especially on a cold night. It had a very strong aroma and was packed full to the brim with various vegetables, greens and large chunks of tofu. Definitely recommended if you like spicy food.

My total bill was :

$ZERO. I got shouted dinner!
However, for reference sake, the Bibimbap was $15, and the pancake and soup were approximately $7 each (give or take a dollar) as far as I can remember. 

My verdict :

Taste : 8/10

Price : 8.5/10

VFM : 9/10

(VFM : Value For Money)
