We didn’t venture far this month, just a short trip to Karrinyup Shopping Centre to check out some of the restaurants there.
We decided to try Arirang Korean BBQ. We were early and snagged a table along the West Deck that had two very comfortable chairs under a large sun umbrella. This was quite a peaceful place away from the hubbub inside and did us very well until the restaurant opened at 11.30am.
We chose from the $25 menu honey chicken and beef Bibimbap. Our lunches arrived on trays with each one having mini bowls containing kimchi, macaroni and corn, pickled radish and two slightly bigger bowls of miso and rice.
The beef Bibimbap bowl was brimming with colourful vegies, carrot, sliced zucchini, sliced mushroom, mixed greens and thinly sliced beef strips. On top of all of this tempting fare was a (sunny side up) soft fried egg. The flavours of this excellent meal were first rate and every morsel complemented all the others.
The honey chicken was presented in bite size succulent pieces, the batter or coating was soft, sprinkled with sesame seeds. This was purely delectable with hints of spices just lingering on the taste buds.
Accompanying this ambrosial treat were the bowls as described above.
We enjoyed both meals which were devoured with gusto. We enjoyed the pickled radish so much we charmed the owner into selling us a bowl each.
The staff were courteous, friendly and attentive. The restaurant is large and airy with indoor and outdoor tables, clean and very inviting and began to fill up quickly in a short space of time. Well worth a visit.
