Introducing one of Korean restaurants

Hi, I'm Younjin.

Do you like Korean foods?

I'd like to introduce one of Korean restaurants in Bloomington to you. It's MAMA's Restaurant and located near Tulip Tree apartments. I went to there last weekend with my friend and took some pictures for you.

First, when you order your beverage, you can order a cup of ‘boricha’ instead of water. It’s a roasted barley tea and Koreans usually drink this tea instead of water. I think that it goes well with Korean dishes. For me, everytime I go to this restaurant I drink this tea and also would like to recommend you try it.




These are side dishes such as two kinds of Kimchi, mushrooms, salades, and some vegetables. Here's a small tip for you. :-) You can ask for a refill of side dishes as many times as you want, free of charge.






I ate Bibimbap which is a popular Korean traditional dish and contains many vegetables mixed in a bowl with rice and hot pepper paste. It’s made with variety of vegetables, rice, meat, and Gochujang(hot pepper paste). There is a spoonful of hot pepper paste, so if you don’t like hot taste, I recommend you not put so much of hot pepper paste.


And my friend ordered Bulgogi. It's slices of barbecued beef seasoned with soy sauce and sugar which gives a mild and sweet taste. The literal meaning of bulgogi is “fire meat” and therefore roasted over fire. I think that it tastes great with Kimchi.



I hope my post would be helpul for you if you're interested in Korean foods.
Don't be afraid of trying Korean food! ;-)
