K. Cook Korean BBQ Buffet in Orchard Central

-
Okay kids, listen closely. When it comes to choosing the right man for you, make sure..he spoils you like crazy! Hehehehe :) 

 Kidding aside, I do believe that the right man should only have two queens in his life -- his mom and you. That's it. In fact, how a guy treats his mom is actually a good indication of how he will be treating you. Luckily, Paul loves and adores my MIL unconditionally so that pretty much mirrors how he has been showering me with the same amount of love and affection too. :)

So, on my birthday, Paul took me out on a special date. This may sound cheesy but even after being together for 12 (!) happy years, I still get that giddy, "kilig" feeling whenever we go out on a date. What made this date extra special was the fact that Paul took charge of choosing the restaurant and making a reservation too! It has been a while since we've had Korean bbq so he chose K.Cook Korean BBQ Buffet to be our lunch date venue that day. Boy, was I excited!



We got to Orchard Central right in time for our reservation slot. Thankfully, they got us a nice table in the air-conditioned area as I really can't imagine staying outside amidst the warm noontime weather. I don't think even those huge air cooler can do much help as the air was dry and hot plus you'll be barbecue-ing which will surely contribute more to the heat.

Inside, we have easier access to the buffet area too. Let me take you around first:

First, you start off with some salad together with a couple of their house dressings and sauces. It's also right beside containers of cut-up fresh fruits which is for dessert.

Moving on, you have all the fresh meats that you can think of! Pork, chicken, beef, seafood. All the major meat types are here! We got to try a little of everything and I personally loved the marinated pork and beef the most. Paul found the sausage to have a slightly weird taste while I personally think it was just alright. However, if you're to maximize the space in your tummy, you can skip the sausages and go for the real meat.

They also have a lot of fresh lettuce and different types of kimchi. The best way to enjoy Korean BBQ is to wrap the freshly grilled meat in a piece of lettuce and add in some garlic cloves, a dollop of Korean bbq paste and I like adding in some kimchi too. Yum yum yum! I also forgot to mention that they have that sesame oil dip that I love so much.

As Paul took charge of the grill, I was busy filling our table with all the cooked dishes already. There's pajeon (Korean pancakes) which was very delicious. We love how it has a good crisp bite and the filling was very tasty. Paul also enjoyed the chili-vinegar-soy sauce dip that came with it.

Meanwhile, I know it's not really wise to load up on carbs when enjoying a buffet but I couldn't help it! The chap chae was AMAZING. Al dente glass noodles stir-fried with sesame oil and veggies. I loved it so much that I'm inspired to recreate this at home soon. ♥

You can also get as many glasses of sodas and ice cold water too!

Grilling was a breeze, we love the fact that they would change the grilling pan every so often. The servers were very attentive to our needs. No oil was needed as you grill your meats away. Look at this mouthwatering beef short ribs which was so tender. It has been well-marinated already so all we had to do was to dip it slightly into the bean paste and sesame oil and you can eat it straight away or wrap it into a piece of lettuce.

We also enjoyed the marinated pork collar which had a slightly sweet taste. It reminds us of our favorite tocino. After endless rounds of meat, pajeon, chap chae and salad, we both felt like we're ready to burst. To end our meal, we shared a plate of fresh watermelon and pineapple which perfectly cleaned our palate.

It was such a fun lunch at K. Cook Korean BBQ and I thank Paul for spoiling me with such a yummy meal! Thanks hunnie!

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
