We were honored to have been able to try the new Korean restaurant at Bonifacio High Street Central, Sariwon. We love Korean food especially Korean barbecue!!!!
Thank you to Diane and Donna Tan for hosting our dinner! We were very happy to meet these two very young and very pretty ladies who are at the forefront of Sariwon. They are also the owners of Jollibee, so this is not their first time in the food service business. They tried Sariwon during their travels and wanted to bring it back to the Philippines
Our menu for the evening
Donna and Diane recommended the Sangria and the Kiwi fruit shake so we followed them 🙂
Doenjang Gigae – a spicy stew
Always love all these side dishes – I particularly liked the mashed squash with raisins and cucumber – Donna made sure we ate it – it looks like mashed potato, but it is squash
They told us that they use only the freshest cuts of premium USDA Choice beef
We had the Galbi that evening and you could really tell that the beef was of good quality
And just like in Korea, the server cooks for you and cuts it and serves it to you
Dak Galbi – there are options for the non beef eaters
Japchae
Bibimbap
We can never get enough of beef!! We were happy to try the bulgogi
They use ceramic charcoal
and changed the grill for the bulgogi
To accommodate the sauce
Thinly sliced bulgogi
Dipping sauce made with 12 vegetables and fruits
Freshly made sweet potato noodles
And the dessert which was really really refreshing Sikhye
And we got to meet the owners who flew over to train the staff and make sure that the opening goes smoothly. Sariwon was started in 1938 by their grandmother, Mrs. Koo
Sung and Yoo Chang Rah

We heard about this Filipino restaurant from Tito Stephen and Tita Reg and I made sure we stopped by to check it out!! Thanks to Tita Reg for taking us!
As soon as you enter, there is a condiment tray on the left Maggi savor and Jufran banana catsup!! My two favorite pinky sauces 🙂 Please forgive my photos as it was quite dark so some photos are blurred
Love the interiors of the place!
The owners were there and are friends of Tita Reg, Noel Cruz and Enzo Lim. Other owners are Nicole Ponseca and Chef Miguel Trinidad
And the sister of Enzo who according to Tita Reg is a model! Very pretty and tall indeed!
Love the t-shirts of the servers
A very small, nice and cozy place. It’s so nice to have a place to go to that reminds you of home when you are far away
And Tita Reg pointed out to us that it is so Pinoy to have a Last supper image in a Filipino dining table 🙂 and I remember my parents and my Lola having one
What a creative menu!!!
This is dedicated to our brother Mike and Gloria. You should visit Maharlika when in New York to taste the Gloria Diaz drink 🙂
Oh my gosh!!! I love their complimentary appetizer!!!!!!! Chicken skin with banana catsup and vinegar!! OH MY GOSH! I could eat just this with rice haha!!
We had the sisig!! YUM YUM!

Something amazing happened today on my special day!!!! Two of the Avengers came to my house and delivered some Jollibee fried chicken for me!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Wow!! This is some special fried chicken!!!!
Thank you to Jollibee for making this day a special day for me to remember!! Thanks Grace Bermejo! Grace told me that the Incredible Hulk was supposed to come also but he had to go save someone last minute 🙂
I made sure my kids and my Dad and Mom were here even if they did not know they were coming!
Dad loves these characters and collects them in statue form, so I thought he would like to see them live! 🙂
So of course we took plenty photos with them before they left!
After that we opened our loot from the Avengers
