Marinated vs Non marinated BBQ

February 10, 2010 By Anna 2 Comments

Did you know that Koreans prefer Non-marinated BBQ over Marinated? (and seems to be vice versa for non-Koreans)

Koreans like non-marinated ones better usually because you need to bbq with better quality meat for those kinds, even restaurants...so usually non-marinated beef are more expensive than anything else! Exception will be pork since pork...is cheaper...

Marinated ones may have more strong (and sweet)flavor, but they can go by without using good quality meat. Marinated BBQ include Jaeyookbokkeum (spicy pork), Galbi/Kalbi (marinated ribs), Bulgogi...etc. [Read more...]

2. They also had specially priced $5.99 Jjajangmyun and some other dishes in pretty good deal under $10.

3. If you drink their soju (Korean Vodka?) will be specially priced for $9.99.

Jong Kak Restaurant Korean Cuisine in Baltimore, MD

November 7, 2008 By Anna Leave a Comment

I went to Jong Kak restaurant in Baltimore city, MD.
It probably is one of the oldest Korean restaurant in Baltimore area. The interior decoration or the restrooms are not as attractive as their food. This restaurant is known for indoor charcoal BBQ of Galbi (Korean style ribs). If you would like to eat Samgyeopsal (or Samgyupsal), pork belly meat, you don't use charcoal BBQ. Instead, they brought out the portable gas range with a grill pan the last time I went there.

Oh! And be aware that there is another restaurant right next to JongKak. I've never been to the other one, but Jongkak is the left one.

Jong Kak servers were very nice and they actually smiled at us! They constantly changed our grill whenever it got too burnt, kept on refilling our veggies and sidedishes. The food was great too. Galbi marinade wasn't too salty and just right for me. I think we ate three bowls of scallion salad, couple refills of banchan, and couple refills of pickled radish. And at the end the servers STILL smiled at us.
So overall, I recommend this place for a BBQ night. I wanna go back for more! Mmmmmmmmm...!

This time we wanted to do some Galbi BBQ. We ordered 2 servings of marinaded Galbi. The price was around $20s per serving. It may be little expensive, but you'll know that it is worth eating when you see that you get the following:
Galbi BBQ
Yum, Yum, Yum! [Read more...]
