Yes you read it correct. Dolsot-Bibimbab, a Korean dish was what I had for dinner on sunday night. This is not related to kayaking but a kayaker needs sustenance and a variety of them as well. I am not exactly a fan of Korean food but on sunday night we happened to be near Seoul Garden, one of the only two Korean restaurants in town, and haven’t patronised the place before we decided to give it a try.
From what I could make out of it, Dolsot-Bibimbab consists of a heap of white rice laid in a heated stone bowl with slices of mushrooms, bean sprouts, crab sticks, minced beef, seaweed, chopped carrots, spinach, raw egg york which is then topped off with hot pepper sauce (not chilly hot though). The dish is stirred just before eating. There must be some kimchi somewhere as the dish tastes like kimchi to me (as do all Korean dishes!). It was something different and as I had not tried other dolsot-bibimbabs, I had no way to make any comparison. But I finished the entire R$13/- dish which I find to be a nice enjoyable change. Must be healthy too as its not oily or too salty; not that this has ever stopped me before!
It’s only later that I found out that Dolsot-Bibimbab is a popular Korean winter dish; which was appropriate as it was raining last night. The word literally means “mixed rice” or “mixed meal.” and the dolsot is a stone bowl. Go and try one for yourself! Kimchi anyone?

Wah, and I thought u will never do a food post..
hehehe.. but sure interesting..
yolk
only tried korean food twice..
and I like kimchi
tried korean food once in KL. And the complimentary dishes can actually fill my stomach for days. Never tried the ones in Kuching tho.
there is a Seol Garden here in singapore, but they are only selling korean BBQ food (hotplate and steamboat style only)
and i did tried the ‘mixed rice’ in one of the korean restaurant here in town, it cost me ard $20 per bowl! and yes, it tasted nice!
yummy yummy!
(p/s: i heard kimchi is good for health / immune system, that’s why when sars hit some asian country, korea was escape frm the disaster)
I was thinking what to take as my lunch just now between Karubi Onmen and Dolsot Bibinba. Finally I chose the earlier as I’ve never tried it. Man~~~ it was really good.
Hmm… must try the Korean food in Kuching next time to see how Korean is it. But why has “crab stick”? I’ve never seen “cran stick” in a Bibinba though.
Glad that everyone’s enjoyin’ korean food 2day!
It’s quite reasonably price so I can ‘chia’ lah but certainly NOT the ‘fughu’ steak at Tom’s which goes for around R$200/-! Ouch! Similar to the famous kobe steak but the beef is from down under.
This is not a food blog site but if something interesting comes along, why not? We all must eat sometimes right? Even kayakers!

- Exactly what I was thinking. Oh well, some people enjoy their food together with their own words. haha…
FH2o, interesting though.
Just wondering, how ‘big’ is Kuching, really? From this post and previous ones, noticed that everyone seems to know where everywhere is.
happy - my life’ll be barely bearable without me being sentimental, mushy n w/o foood! oh dear … guess i’m left to eat my words now!
obviously u haven’t heard - “the world is very small but Kuching’s very BIG!”
Kuching’s a ‘one-kayak town’ lah!
FH2o, “the world is very small but Kuching’s very BIG!”
