Revisiting Ko Ryo Jeong Korean Restaurant (고려정)

Ko Ryo Jeong Korean Restaurant (고려정), International Plaza

Seems like we've been having a bit of Korean food lately. The last time we were here which was not a few days back, we had the cheonggukjang jjigae. Today we got the ugeoji galbitang. Among a couple of other things.
Ko Ryo Jeong Korean Restaurant (고려정), banchan

Today's banchan was almost entirely different from the last time; which was also different from the first time. Except for the kimchi. Rotation's good because there's something hopefully good to look forward to. Well, it's been good here so far.

When they refilled the banchan, we even had something new. I'm gonna take a stab at it and call it spring onion pancake. That was what it tasted like.

Ko Ryo Jeong Korean Restaurant (고려정), bibimbap

Ordered a bibimbap with pork. Portions were huge. Could feed two.

I think this was gosari namul - fiddlehead ferns hidden beneath the other vegetables. They're apparently a classic ingredient in bibimbap but I've never noticed them till now.

They gave us a small bowl of soup (maybe sundubu jjigae) and a dish of gochujang for the bibimbap. Look at the ingredients that made the multitudes of different textures. This was so good.

Kimchi jeon - the crusty exterior tasted a little cheesy. Not bad but a little greasy.

Their ugeoji galbitang was delicious. The ugeoji part refers to the cabbage leaves. Lots of them inside together with leeks and onions and whathaveyous along with tender fatty short rib pieces. Love the beefy flavour of the broth.
