Made a reservation and went to Chang Korean BBQ for dinner. It was a cool day. The afternoon rains made it so lovely to sit outdoors for the night. But I've always preferred an outdoor table at any Korean BBQ restaurant. It's less smeowlly. Chang's outdoor area is spacious and sheltered, so it's good for rainy nights too.
It was a night of Asian beef! We ordered in moderation. Had the seasoned raw beef and yolk with bibimbap (yukhoe bibimbap) this round. Ordered thinly sliced beef brisket, and ox tongue. Those raw meats were presented to us before being whisked away to the side to be grilled. They returned to the table beautifully grilled.
I do like grilled ox tongue quite a bit. Chang's version is tender and sliced just nicely thin. And eaten in this fashion with vegetables and dips, it feels so much healthier than an ox-tongue sandwich with mayonnaise and pickles. Hahah. We asked for a second platter of vegetables because it wasn't enough! Oof. They should have given three of those green chillies.
Had to skip the ginseng chicken soup (samye-tang) because I didn't take antihistamines and the man didn't want to finish that on his own. Didn't bother ordering any pork dishes either. With the banchan and a simple but satisfying small bowl of clear beef soup that came with the bibimbap, these were more than enough food for us.
Had a bottle of makguli that went well with the food. We didn't order the premium version, and it was surprisingly drinkable and not too harsh. I slurpped it all up. A 750ml is way too easy. Burrrrp. I don't do soju. I tend to avoid it. It doesn't go down well in the stomach, and it certainly doesn't come back up tasty either. Hahaha.
