Kimchi: Back In The Day
Back in the day, notably in the 70s, 80s and even in the 90s, there was one food station that stood out at SM Cubao Food Court.
Kimchi was a big hit with its Korean Beef Stew and Chicken BBQ. There was always a long queue that you had to endure to be able to place your order.
Super Sarap talaga sila. The Beef Stew, with sesame seeds and spring onions, was a little bit spicy and with a taste of sweetness. The Chicken Barbeque was incomparable.
I remember that before watching PBA games at the Big Dome, where the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Tamaraws were battling it out for supremacy, and with the Utex Wranglers as dark horse, we would have a bowl of Beef Stew and Chicken Barbeque at Kimchi.
But with a sudden turn of events, Araneta Center suffered losses in terms of patronage of business establishments. We lost track of Kimchi. It wasn't there anymore. It sank into oblivion, so we thought.
But, wait, there is one Kimchi outlet that has opened at Ayala Malls Feliz. And it claims to be the original. We now have the chance to try again what we have been missing for years. What are we waiting for?
Incidentally, if you are on a road trip, and in the vicinity of Tagaytay City, you may want to savor Kimchi's delights at Ayala Malls Serin near the Tagaytay Rotunda. It is owned and managed by Parokya ni Edgar's Chito Miranda and wife Neri Naig.
Happy eating !!!
