The Food For Flu (Sitio Babak Korean Resto)

-


By: Joanna Kaye Remolar-Limjuco

It’s the rainy season once again, and some of my friends have been getting a bad case of flu. I was starting to pride myself because I remained unaffected, when I woke up one morning with that cold sensation and scratchy throat. Help!

The whole day I was bummed about my impending case of flu. The Husband fetched me from work and then we found ourselves in Dona Vicenta Road. Suddenly we saw this restaurant:

Ooooh! Interesting. I SCREECHED for The Husband to immediately stop the car so I could get a better look. There were 2 things that caught my eye: First, there were 2 old Korean gentlemen eating, and whenever elder gentlemen eat in a Korean resto it gives me the impression that the food is “authentic” and not “pabebe.” Second, there was a big sign that read: Kimbap @ 100 Php only.

This is it, pancit!

The Husband and I sat ourselves down the resto. Immediately, we were given the menu. Though it was quite early (before 6 pm), there were other people having their early dinner.
We settled for Jjampong and Kimbap and lots of side dish ☺.

The kimchi was perfect! Sour,spicy and a bit sweet as well. I was beginning to feel better. We wolfed down all the side dish in a rush and (unashamedly) asked for refillS. The owner was gracious enough to oblige us.

Then our orders arrived. The jjampong was BIG in serving and generous in the seafood! Plus, the Jjampong had crab! Real crab! (My first time to have Jjampong with crab! I cry.) The freshness of the noodles, spiciness of the soup and meaty goodness of the shells, squid, and seafood were perfect! Whatever flu virus then present in my body was washed away by the kick and sumptuousness of the dish! Lip-smacking good for 250 Php!

The kimbap was compact, tasty, and satisfying. Definitely a good complement to the jjampong. Need I repeat that it was only 100 php?


The Husband and I were blown away by the goodness of the meal. He kept on trying to make eye-contact with the owner just to complement him.



May I just say again that their Jjampong is a cure for flu, heartache, weariness, and all ailments of the body? ☺ Its THAT GOOD. The Husband and I were both extremely happy with what we ate. I promised myself to go back there and try their version of Korean chicken. (Who wants to come with me and be a blaggirrr?)

BTW, sorry about the pictures. We almost forgot to take pictures because we were so overwhelmed.

Al-fresco, wallet-friendly, and most of all, GOOD food! See for yourself ☺

The Best Sisig in Davao is Hiding in a Karinderya

         (Hi! Its been a while since I wrote! But this food just inspired me again!)           One lunchtime my brother D brought some sisig wrapped in foil which he said he ordered somewhere. The Husband and I tasted it and we found it to be sooo yummy! In fact, the yummiest sisig we had ever tasted! (And we’ve tasted a lot of sisigs) Bad thing that D only bought 1 order which wasn’t enough for us.           Little did I know that the Husband fell in love with the sisig. Immediately the next day, we went on a lunch date on a mission to find the source of this super yummy sisig. Did it come from a restaurant in mall?  Or in some pop-up-store by a starting chef? Or perhaps some high level cuisine from a hotel?...           I asked D and he said it was from a karinderya in Obrero.  Eh? Are you sure D? It didn’t look like and certainly didn’t taste like it came...

By: Joanna Kaye Remolar-Limjuco So, Beng is in town from the faraway land of Calinan :D which means its pigging out time! The 4 of us agreed to try the unli wings at Pyro. We agreed to meet for early dinner at 6 pm. I arrived the earliest (ahem) at 5:50 pm and checked out the place. Pyro is fairly small with 3 rows of tables, but the place was already jampacked!  I went inside and could not find any vacant seat. Talked to the waitress who told me I was number 2 in waiting. Sounds good to me and anyway, my friends weren’t here yet, so I waited outside. Walked around Mabini Commercial Complex, got updated on fb, checked my watch and it was already 6:30! Looked inside the resto.  All the people eating in Pyro seemed to be enjoying themselves with no signs of stopping.  Also, more customers were arriving, and the waiting list was up to #9. (I also noticed that most of them were younger than me ☹ but that’s another st...
