Korean Street Food in Berlin

Gangnam Style…
Yup – there is a fabulous event in Berlin at Platoon Kunsthalle where you can eat Korean Street Food and we went to check it out last night. You get a feel of how fun the street food culture in Korea is. They have a few small stalls selling some Korean dishes and you sit on little plastic chairs around a low table.
It was definitely a fun evening, but I have to say the food was very disappointing. We got a Bibimbap and a Kimchi Taco for ten euros, pretty pricy as the portions were small. Now, I have been to Korea and I have to say I was surprised there was any food left when I got on my flight home as I felt like I had eaten everything in the whole country. Korea is DELICIOUS. Their kimchi has such a different flavour in the actual country. I remember buying so much of it at the airport when I left and I actually felt sad when it had all been eaten. Kimchi is always something good, but in Korea it is something amazing.
Not so at the Kunsthalle though. The Bibimbap had no flavour at all. I mean nothing. And the Kimchi Taco didn’t even come with kimchi. Jason even went back and complained (he is becoming more German by the day – I love it!!) and he was told they didn’t have any kimchi left. Why they would not tell their customers that, or why they would leave KIMCHI Taco on their display board as an option is beyond me. Disappointing muchly.
However the Soju alcohol was delicious and everyone else’s meals seems to go down well. The atmosphere is really fun, young and lively and there are lots of Koreans enjoying it too. The K-Pop music is blaring out and you can even do some Karaoke. It’s a good giggle and well worth the two euro entrance fee. It’s on again next Friday – so check it out. Just make sure they have kimchi at the stall you buy your food at. Otherwise you will end up going for a kebab like me… ahem…
