Paik's Bibim (VivoCity)

v worth and the bibimbap damn nice!! portion is big and hearty. soup can skip v diluted

Used to have this dish at least 1-2x a month when we were working in office, as it’s a no frills, quick, relatively cheap neighbourhood choice. Working from home for more than 2y now and decided it’s finally time to try it again lol

For me, the teriyaki chicken is the best among their bibimbap choices, mainly due to their mayo 😅 Sadly, the sauce has become lesser, and the overall portion is also smaller *cues inflation here*. Taste is exactly how I remember it - good combination of crispy chicken and cereal flakes, shredded veggies, and mayo that wraps it all together

When translated, bibimbap literally means “mixed rice”. A staple and a widely popular dish in every Korean diner and restaurant, bibimbap stands to be a crowd favourite due to its colourful plating and a comfort food to most stemming from the simplicity of fluffy warm rice with condiments. With tens of variations and a stretch to say that this dish can be indefinitely tweaked to one’s satisfaction, one can expect to enjoy bibimbap the way they want to; as comfort food. Paik’s Bibim has been one of my go-to places for a hearty and generous serving of bibimbap, serving up healthy portions of rice with various condiments. Their Teriyaki Chicken Bibimbap ($8.50) is a deliciously light and creamy bowl of goodness topped with teriyaki chicken chunks, crisp salad leaves, shavings of seaweed and crunchy tenkasu (bits of deep-fried flour batter). The bibimbap on its own could get a little jelak (Malay for bored, used to describe a boredom in eating) after a while, but with the little crunchy balls of tenkasu and a sweet and spicy kick from their gochujang sauce (red chilli paste, sweeter than it sounds), it becomes a refreshing and healthy meal to kickstart any day.

Loving the crunchy bits featured on the bottom right corner here! It makes the naengmyeon much more textured and flavourful. :-)
Be sure to drizzle with some korean gochujang sauce for that extra kick.

Quite spicy 🥵 for me. Meatless meal. Wish the noodles is served cold. Accompanied with radish kimchi and pipping hot soup..
