Bulgogi restaurants in Korea

Bulgogi is representative Korea food.

Bulgogi is one of the best-known Korean dishes among foreigners and is commonly translated as 'Korean barbecue'.

So I'll introduce some Bulgogi restaurats in Korea.

1. Bulgogi Brothers.

Bulgogi brothers are chain store at Wangsimni, Suwon, Ilsan, Myeongdong, Busan and so on.

We common think that Bulgogi should offer with noisy atmosphere,

drink soju and sit on the floor.

But this restaurant offers jazz music, wine or Korean traditional alcohol and sit on the chair~!

If you want to know about here, visit the site.

I'll introduce lovely restuarant. 'Passion 5' is dessert&bakery restaurant.

The restaurant sell dessert such as bread and cake in the 1st floor and you can eat at the 2nd floor. 

Do you konw that puddings?

These puddings are the most famous item that have been introduced in TV.

Their calories are 140cal, so people (especially women) find them.

Many restaurants copy this bottle shape these days, but Passion 5 is original~!

mango, blueberry, milk pudding (from the left side to the right)

mango and bluberry costs 3,500 won and milk costs 3,000 won.

 

 

There are wide variety of cakes from piece cake to big cake~

When you have to buy cake (birthday, special day, congratulations party), you surely go to Passion 5!

One of features is a wide and luxurious interior.

This restaurant is divided 4 sections : cafe, bakery,  patisserie, chocolate.

4 sections plus passion about customers = The name Passion 5

This interior is cozy and luxurious.

So I especially recommend here to couple~ :)

Oh, Do you know 'Baumkuchen'?

I don't kow about it before I eat. It's bread from Germany.

Baum means tree and Kuchen means cookie.

The cut side of Baumkuchen looks tree ring, so this is called Baumkuchen.
