Taste Buds At Work: Mr. Kimbob's Bulgogi Japchae Dubbob

It was Mother's Day. I had work in the morning and needed to run some errands in the afternoon. Elmer also had work that day. Straight from work, I went to town and did what I had to do. When I was already about to go home, and even when I had just arrived in town, I was already starving. I thought aabot pa sa bahay ang gutom ko pero andami ko na talagang gutom. Kebs sa dami ng tao sa food court. Sumide trip ako sa Mr. Kimbob. 

I have already tried Mr. Kimbob's Bibimbob, Kimbob and Shabu-Shabu many times. (I think their names are really intended to say "bob" at the end instead of the supposed "bap". Whatcha think?) So I told myself I gotta try something different that time. 

Before I continue, let me share to you a li'l lesson on Korean language. (Howkei. What am I now after a few Korean meals? An expert on their language? ^_^) I may be wrong with some of these. I only got these from all over the Internet. Feel free to correct me.

Bulgogi - Beef Bibimbap

Dakgogi - Chicken Bibimbap

Bibimbap - Mixed meal or Mixed rice

Bap - Rice

Dub Bap - Over Rice

Japchae - Stir-fried noodle dish with cabbage, onion, carrots, 

flavored with soy sauce and sweetened with sugar 

(For us Pinoys, I guess, it's the common pancit)

I ordered Mr. Kimbob's Bulgogi Japchae Dubbob. 

The beef was covered by the egg dub bap in this photo. Sorry naman.

I know by now that the Dubbob in its name is really supposed to be Dub Bap sa totoong buhay. (Remember how Mr. Kimbob likes to put "bob" all over the menu?) In short (or maybe longer but in a much familiar language to us Pinoys), what I had was Mr. Kimbob's mixed meal with beef, stir-fried noodles and sunny side egg over rice. 

Whew!

If you have already tried Mr. Kimbob's Bibimbob, the taste of Mr. Kimbob's Bulgogi Japchae Dubbob is almost the same as that. The only differences are: 1. the Bibimbob has many variety of veggies in it while the Bulgogi Japchae Dubbob has the stir-fried noodles with very little slices of veggies in it, and 2. the Bulgogi Japchae Dubbob has a larger portion of beef than the Bibimbob. Both dish have a small portion of Kimchi on the side when you order. 

The rice and the fried egg were just ordinary steamed rice and sunny side egg. Nothing special. The beef tasted really good, just right balance of sweet and salty. I have to say that the noodles were too oily. But I wasn't bothered. I trusted Mr. Kimbob's byline "Korean Health Food". And the kimchi. Oh the kimchi. I'm starting to have a love affair with kimchi. 

For only P99, I'd say the meal was super sulit. I left the food court really filled and happy. I will definitely come back for more.

Note: There may be a lot of other blogs out there that offer an extensive and more detailed review on the same topic as the above. Things I put here are just my two cents. I don't even consider this a review. Just a kwento on the experience per se. Enjoy! ^_^
