we were just done visiting my day-old godson at thomson medical and while i had thoughts still on the baby and my good pal joanna, g suggested heading to the korean joint in the neighbourhood for dinner. i was game and glad that g remembered, cause auntie kim's is in my opinion the best local korean place that i know of to date.
there are a few highlights in korean dining, and their appetizers are the first. don't underestimate these small dishes, they are so good that i wish auntie kim's would serve them free flow! from the fresh tao gay to the potato mash, the 6 little dishes truly whetted our appetite and we couldn't wait for the rest of our orders to come!
first up, was the traditional korean pancake. very well done. fresh off the frying pan, it was piping hot, with a crispy layer encrusting the batter mixed with very fresh sotong and spring onions. it was a very big serving, enough for 4 people to enjoy. but dipping it in the special sauce, i think g and i did quite a good job demolishing most of it off! it was so yummy that we had to ta-pao the rest home!
bi bim bap was our choice for korean staple. this is always a classic favourite of mine, just because of the somewhat sticky rice, blend of veggies and the possibility of getting slightly burnt bits of rice *grin*.
to top the meal off, we had short beef prime ribs, barbequed in a special korean marinade. this was good eaten all ways - naked (i.e. eaten on its own), wrapped in cabbage with a touch of chilli paste and fresh garlic or with the bi bim bap.
the place for good traditional homecooked korean food...4 scoopies for auntie kim's! kamsahamnida!
