BANGKOK AMAZING GOURMET
.
Kimchi fantasy
Sukhumvit Plaza (corner Sukhumvit Soi 12) is well known to Bangkokians as the Korean Town. There never run out of authentic Korean restaurants. One restaurant caught foodies attention is DooRae.
Armed with owner Kim Seungwoo's grandma inherited recipes, DooRae standing-out from the others. Eating at DooRae is not just bulgogi (Korean barbecue) but rather selective home-cooking dishes from the Seungwoo family.
1. kimchi ji gae (fermented sweet and spicy vegetables stew with tofu and pork)
2. mul naengmyeon (chilled noodle in beef consomme Pyongyang style)
banchan (side dishes)
3. sam gae tang (chicken soup with Korean ginseng)
4. bibimbab (mixed rice and vegetables in gochujang chili sauce served in a stone bowl)

Look forward to seeing the pictures here.
This plaza is really interesting and so good for Korean food hunting.
This restaurant and the name look familiar to me.
Is this the place I had the nice Korean ginseng chicken soup?
I like to eat Korean BBQ in Bangkok, they are very different and better than those in HK.
@Stella: u hv never been here, the one u know is in my 2007-April-24 post
Tommy you are right. Korean food, especially the chicken soup with Ginseng, tastes a lot better in BKK than in LA.
In fact, 90% of the food tastes better in BKK than in LA(including western food such as Italian and French).
The remaining 10% includes Shanghai food, steak, street snack such as "bad smell fried tofu", and HK "tea cafe" style of eatery such as Garden Cafe.
I think I have been here 3 years ago and we were considering to try it one by one from Arirang towards the inside.
OH yeah, now I remember the one I had the good chicken ginseng soup is called Arirang.
