The secret garden - Biwon Korean Restaurant

Last two years ago, I had pleasured dined in a Korean restaurant somewhere in Greenhills. But lately, I am so happy and thankful that I was invited to have lunch in a new Korean restaurant in Edsa Extension, Pasay City – the Biwon Korean Restaurant.

Here in the Philippines, we are lucky to have a Biwon Korean restaurant which is something different from others , so great and I love their style of cooking, especially where they cook on your table.

Here, in Biwon , means " the secret garden." Nice food in a pleasant setting. When I’m inside the simple and very nice place, there were many food on the table. The only Korean food I'm aware of and keep thinking we should try to have is kimchi (which I always had.) But here, I never seen such a large assortment of ban chan in my life. Each dish looks really yummy and special.

For the starters. I think that’s one of the best part of the meal!

I love to eat vegetable salad, but this is something !

Sliced Liempo w/ special Korean sauce and fresh vegetables

Korea's classic Kimchi

Sweet and Spicy Pork

Jap Chae (Php 320)

Bulgogi (Php 300) – the meat was cooked right at the table on a smokeless grill

Cooking meat in a non-smoke grill for Samgyupsal
Samgyupsal is cooking meat on a smokeless grill then wrapping it inside lettuce leaves then dipping it into a special sauce

Wookojitang Stew Soup /Beef Stew Soup (Php 290)

Korean Pancake! Haemol Jeon (Authentic Korean Pancake) (Php 370)

Korean pancakes, which confused me for a moment. But as I tasted it, with seafood and spring onions, all tasty and squishy. That was a very fine meal, with the pancakes as a definite highlight.

Having coffee after being full...with a really delicious meal!

I really enjoyed the Biwon experience. This is really a good time! What an awesome feast we had here! I’ll definitely go back - with my family. I recommend this place to everyone wanting delicious excellent food and quick friendly service, with happy and welcoming atmosphere.
