Bibigone!!

And the restaurant is called Bibigo... Recommended by Renee's aunt for its supposed-to-be fabulous raw rice wine...

So I longed for a few weeks and finally been there-done that...

As i could recall, the first time I ever tried Korean fried spicy rice cake was when dear and I were at Perth. It was prepared by Korean at a Korean eatery... So I stereotyped Korean spicy rice cake as it was tasted...

I had no more cravings for the rice cakes... Until I tried it at Bibigo@NEX... My eyes just couldn't get any wider... It was crispy on the outside, firm at the inside... And the sauce was just right! THIS is real Korean spicy fried rice cake!

Afraid that its not enough for us... We ordered its seafood pancake and spicy pork bibimbap... And of course for the main reason why I was there - its rice wine... So for the first time ever, I ordered a drink that cost $24! (Don't worry! It's a bottle of it, not a puny serving)

When all food was served, our table was overloaded... Because the tray and hot stones took up quite some space... And we need to keep all of these away from Renee's reach... ;p

Remember that my eyes were so wide when munching on the rice cake? Well, I couldn't even close it when I tasted its seafood pancake! Dear liked it pretty much too!!! It's so so so delicious! You could taste the crunchy crust of fried veggies, with the rich aroma of fresh seafood but somehow, I just couldn't see physical piece of seafood in each bite I took... Odd but its just so yummy!

The bibimbap was okay overall, it's spicy pork was nice, not any taste I could get from Korean BBQ stall elsewhere!! Just that I was totally impressed by the seafood pancake and rice cake... Hee!!

Excitedly, I poured the milky raw rice wine into a thick glass bowl and pretended to drink it like a Korean (turned to the side and covered the bowl/mouth with a hand while greedily flushing every drop of the wine down my throat)

"WHAT? Hmmm... I'm so going to claim the bill of the wine from Renee's aunt for overstating this drink" I was thinking out loud...(which made my bill from $50 to almost $80!)

You may beg to differ but somehow, I just couldn't be impressed... Perhaps I have had better? Hahahahaha!!!

Nevertheless, I felt heavy-headed after a full bowl of serving... I guessed I was 70% drunk, if not, 60%?... Felt delightful with the meal... With the companion of my hubby and girl... WuhOO! Getting high~~ Only that I didn't crawl to the table and do Gundam dance when the song was played at the restaurant. (Only Renee grooved to its rhythm)...

In a nutshell, Bibigo is the place to go if you want good Korean food... Just that you probably will visit it just once in a while... Specially after you received your payroll... >,~
