So my co-workers and I had dinner here two weeks ago. "Sigol" means rural area, or the countryside in Korean, maybe because the restaurant is in the province and not in the city? And "Baboy" because of the pork, of course. I really enjoyed my meal here and I ate salad for once. The vegetables are fresh, I guess. And it's really cheap too at Php 250 for each person. And you get the standard samgyeopsal fare of jap chae (Korean glass noodles), salads with vinaigrette dressing, and coleslaw, Doenjang Guk (Korean soybean paste soup/ Korean miso soup, which is probably my favorite soup, next to tom yum and sinigang--see a pattern here?). I also loved the egg thing in the black metal container, and the kimchi and chili paste, and of course strips of pork to wrap in lettuce. The pork is also unlimited, so for people with big appetites, you can't go wrong here. The buffet choices are not that awesome though. Some of it was a bit salty, and they can definitely improve the gimbap some more. But people come for the samgyeopsal, so it's not a big deal.
And a nice surprise after dinner, the ice cream popsicle. It was Melona--so, yum! But my favorite Korean ice cream treat (so far) is still the Dwaeji Bar. Hey, another pig.*
Anyway, I'll definitely eat here again and I'll bring my parents. They'd love it. It's a bit far from where I live though, which is a drag.
* "Baboy" is the Filipino word for pig. Coincidentally, my favorite Korean ice cream treat is the Dwaeji Bar, and "dwaeji" is the Korean word for pig. read more
