I can never say no to a Korean meal, nothing like the smell of ihaw in the air to work up an appetite! In the past few years, Korean restaurants have started sprouting up like wildflowers. It was a little intimidating to choose amongst the ones along Makati Ave, but my friend and I decided to go for Dong Won. Not to be confused with other Dong Won-s, it's the one on Jupiter with the bright neon lights and pictures of cows! As you enter, it's nothing fancy, looks a little established and in fact run down. We sat down at a table with a grill and ordered a few beef dishes and my fave, Kalbi Jiim (beef stew). If you think about it, it's hard to screw up good Korean food, you cook it yourself (how much of a screw up can that get!). The secret lies in the quality of beef and Dong Won was on point with this! We left super happy and full (and even went back two days after!)
Oh and never ending appetizers!! read more
