In reply to Christine Ka'aloa. Korean food is pretty spicy, but just like most all cuisine, it depends what you're eating. There are lots of dishes and panchan that are generally supposed to be spicy, but you can get non-spicy varieties sometimes (my grandmother often makes nabak-kimchi a.k.a. water kimchi, which I've found less spicy than regular kimchi). Some dishes like galbi-tang a.k.a. beef rib soup is a soft and warm soup with subtle homely flavor. It all depends on what you get, but don't be surprised if an aversion to spice keeps you from eating a lot of Korean foods.

Love banchan. I’ve been here for 12 years, and banchan is not as good as it used to be (or should I say that as prices rise the banchan suffers?) , but it’s still good 🙂

In reply to Jemma. @Jemma: I'll have to try Korean food in the Philippines some day too! I wonder how spicy it is?

Korean food always seems mouthwatering though I haven’t tried eating one yet. This post just made me crave for Korean food and I’m glad that there are lots of Korean restaurants here in the Philippines. I might give it a try this lunch today. 🙂
