    Hello K-Kit: A New and Fun Way to Enjoy Korean Food at Home!

    January 16, 2021 / 0 Comments

    My love for Korean food and culture grew even more especially during the lock down as I spent too much time watching Korean dramas and fangirling over K-Pop idols that I even wanted to try their food, too! I have always loved Korean barbecue but I wanted a whole new authentic Korean gastronomic experience. That’s when I learned about Hello K-Kit! About Hello K-Kit Hello K-Kit is the Korean management of Art in Island Museum’s way of introducing the Korean food and culture to everyone in a fun and trendy way. It is actually a Korean meal kit, a cooking kit or recipe box, that contains fresh ingredients, delicious seasoning…

  • I hate Fantastic Chef’s Unlimited Korean Barbecue!

    February 19, 2019 / 0 Comments

    You read it right. I hate it. I hate that I made the right decision of taking my family to Malate to eat in here on a weekend because they are asking me to take them back. I hate that the restaurant is too far from home. I had to travel for hours only to experience their authentic Korean food. I hate that their meat tastes so good that it haunts me. I hate that its smell lingers on my shirt and my mind. I hate that it’s reasonably priced compared to other samgyupsal out there. It’s official: I have this love and hate relationship with Fantastic Chef’s unlimited Korean…

  • YUP Korean Barbecue: The Cheapest Unlimited Samgyupsal I’ve Ever Experienced in South!

    November 13, 2018 / 3 Comments

    “Friday nights should be celebrated.” This is what I always tell myself on Friday nights since for me, it is a way of paying for the hard work I’ve had all through out the week. It is the time where I let go of all my stress, exhaustion and anxiety from my day job. I have various ways to celebrate my Friday nights. It’s either I hit the hay early for some good sleep or go out with friends and family to pig out (though it sounded more like I am stress eating). Most of the time, I choose the latter as I get to spend quality time over a …

  • Why Fantastic Baka should be your favorite Korean Restaurant

    October 26, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Much about the Korean culture has made a lot of Filipinos go gaga – its boy and girl group of young and talented artists, their music, their heartfelt TV dramas, their delectable food and more. This also has made a lot fly to the country to experience these things first hand. Taking this fad as an opportunity, a lot of Korean restaurants rose in different corners of the Metro. Just then, the words ‘samgyupsal’, or “unlimited Korean barbecue” is never out of everyone’s discourse. It has also become a thing shared by friends and family over good stories and laughter. pick that pork up, dip it in, wrap it in…
