Is Chinese food your only gateway to Asian cuisine? Don’t worry it was mine too until I discovered Korean cuisine in India and I’ve never looked back after that. Well, maybe just for momos! And sure, every cuisine has its own specialty which cannot be compared to any other dish or cuisine, but I’m gonna convince you to totally ditch other cuisines for Korean food right now. And here’s why!
1. Korean food is pretty, Insta-worthy, and tasty!
You can’t disagree. A colorful plate full of veggies, meat, eggs is screaming ‘post me on Instagram’. But it’s not just pretty but delicious too!
Try: Hahn’s Kitchen
Address- One Horizon Centre, Golf Course Road, Gurgaon
Price for two- Rs 1800
2. You’ll end up eating your veggies
Yes, what my mother couldn’t accomplish, Korean food did!
Try: Arirang Korean Restaurant
Address- 13, NK Enclave Building, Near Sathya Hospital, Chinnappa Layout, 4th Cross, Kammanahalli Main Road, Kammanahalli, Bangalore
Price for two- Rs 1400
3. The decor at the restaurants will make you feel like you’re in a K-drama.
You will be left awestruck when you enter some of these restaurants. Trust us when we say this, your ‘Gram will look fly AF.
Try: Gung The Palace
Address- D-1/B, Near Ashirwad Complex, Green Park, New Delhi
Price for two- Rs 2500
4. It’s super healthy, nutritious, and good for your skin
Instead of counting the calories and taking supplements, try making the switch. They don’t say Korean women have the best skin for nothing.
Try: Hae Kum Gang
Address- No. 20, 2nd Floor, Paul Castle, Castle Street, Near Brigade Tower, Ashok Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560025
Price for two- Rs 1500
5. They serve green tea before, and after, meals
Another reason why they’re all so healthy and have amazing skin!
Try: Busan Korean Restaurant
Address- Ground Floor, House 9B, Block 10, New Aruna Nagar, Majnu ka Tila, New Delhi
Price for two- Rs 900
6. They have a cool technique for eating every ingredient at once!
It’s called the Korean-lettuce wrap. Basically, you put all your meat, kimchi, and garlic in the lettuce and eat it like a paan. Yum!
Try: The Himalayan
Address- 8/1, 1st Floor, Jailaxmi Nivas, 1st Cross, Koramangala 5th Block, Bangalore
Price for two- Rs 1200
7. Kimchi is to die for!!
Kimchi is one of the best things I’ve eaten after our desi ‘Aam ka achar’. It’s spicy, tangy, and adds the right flavour to your meal.
Try: Heng Bok
Address- 6th Floor, Above Shoppers Stop, Suburbia Mall, Linking Road, Bandra West
Price for two- Rs 2500
8. Last, but not the least. You can’t go to a Korean Cuisine and not drink ‘Soju’
It’s a Korean distilled rice drink that is must-try! Take it from us, it may be made from rice but this drink will definitely give you a buzz.
Try: Restaurant De Seoul
Address- 3rd Floor, C Block, Ansal Plaza Mall, Near Siri Fort, Khel Gaon Marg, New Delhi
Price for two- Rs 2500
