Ajumma

Came here for lunch with ky and wx for wx's birthday. Ajumma is a causal Korean dinning restaurant located at The Cathay.

Canned drinks ($1.50 ea). Wx and I had the peach while ky had the grape. Both were nice but majority of us preferred the grape juice which had a few real grapes in it! (that surprised us)

Each set comes with 4 side dishes- Kimchi, Yellow Pickled Radish (danmuji), Korean Seaweed and Corn. Kimchi was slightly spicy and sour with a good bite to it. Radish was crunchy. Seaweed had a very strong sea taste.

I ordered the Bibimbap Hot Stone Set (Dolsot) ($10.90)-Yellow bean sprouts, spinach, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers, egg and choice of beef, pork or chicken in a hot stone bowl. I chose beef. Once you get your dish you had better start stirring, if not the bottom will get burnt. The main flavour of this dish is the chili paste (Gochujang) which isn't very spicy and has a unique taste which I don't really like.

Ky had the Chicken Bulgogi Set ($7.90). Bulgogi in direct translation means fire beef but it can refer to any marinated meat. Ky said the chicken was normal and cooked just nice.
Wx had the Signature Beef Kalbi Set ($13.90)- certified USA Prime beef ribs. Wx complaint that there were too many fats in the beef. Taste wise it was okay.

Hoddeok Pancake ($3.90 for 2 pieces). My first time trying this. It tasted like deep fried mantou. Slight crisp exterior and soft on the inside. The filling was honey and cinnamon but I could hardly taste the cinnamon. Also, the pancake gets a little oily when it cools down.

Rate:
Bibimbap Hot Stone Set (Dolsot): 6.5/10 ☺

Hoddeok Pancake: 7/10 ☺
