Food adventure is one of the things that bind us. It made us feel excited when we were together. Thinking about what particular place we want to dine in. It is our nth time discovering foods from everywhere.
The newest operating Korean samgyeopsal restaurant here in Bogo is Cheongdam Charcoal Gue.
It is located at the heart of Bogo City, where a newly built building of K-town has been rise. It has a Hello hotel, a Korean restaurant, a Café resto-bar, and a Serenity massage spa. It is owned by a couple, a Filipino husband, and a Korean wife. The couple is hands-on with their business, this is according to the crew.
It has a well-planned structure of the building where there is a wide and spacious parking area. Well lighting and attractive from the outside. That is why when we first saw it (that was before our bunos, hehe) we planned to come here to experience what's inside.
What are we waiting for? Let's come inside and dine with us
Look at that sophisticated venue! Furnished with expensive tables and chairs. With its elegant exhaust pipes, that captures the guest's eyes! According to the crew who assisted us, it is one of a kind exhaust pipe because it came from South Korea and it is the first one that came out here in the province of Cebu.
What do we order? Is it expensive?
When we get inside, we were welcomed by a crew then guided us to a vacant table. They were so polite and smiling even though they were wearing masks. I can still recognize their smiling faces. A crew handed us the menu. Upon seeing the price, it's just right, not too pricey, and not that cheap. So-so as they say.
We ordered:
- 2 Pork belly BBQ costs 420 pesos (each order) or $7.57 (with 3 fairly cuts of meat)
- 1 Chadolbegi (with bacon strips of beef) costs 650 pesos or $11.69.
- 4 cups of rice 60 pesos(each cup) or $1.08 and
- 4 soda drinks for 90 pesos(each) or $1.63.
It was explained by the crew that the term Gue means grill, so the meat is to be grilled through charcoal.
They also offered us to take photos. See how hospitable they were. And look who's with us? The husband of @amoreyl, welcome to the group sir! And at the back of our minds of @missleray, is a big Sana all (it's an expression of teasing someone who has partners being with her/him), hehe.
They also have complementary dishes, the kimchi soup and steamed eggs. You know what? It is a must-try!
The other dishes were already served and the crew offered to cook the meat. Are we not the ones to cook it? we asked. The crew answered, yes you can Ma'am, but we offer to cook the meat so that it will not be overcooked and most importantly, you can eat well.
The model of, what do you call that dish @missleray?
The beef was cooked in a pan with a butane gas stove to control the heat and the pork belly was cooked in an elegant pan. What's the good news? It has unlimited side dishes! So, while waiting for the meat to be cooked, we managed to eat the side dishes and keep on refilling. They have tasty side dishes, all of them.
Tried using chopsticks like a pro😅
According to the crew, the exhaust pipe absorbs the smoke so that it won't let out from the table. Amazing it is huh?
They offer us another photo op😊. From a different view.
Indeed, coming here is all worth it. Our tummy was full and the laughter and bond can't be changed with anything else. As we pay the bill, the crew added another piece of information, that their Café resto-bar is a must-try. So, it's intriguing for us. But first, we have to give ourselves a break. So, to the comfort room, we go!
Mall-like comfort rooms
Model yarn?
To our astonishment, we can't help ourselves but take photos of this comfortable room. It has 5 functional toilets with high doors and elegant lavatories with soap.
Edge Café Resto bar
They also have an elevator
The menu
A perfectly mural cat in the lavatory.
The cozy ambiance of the place made us more relaxed. It is perfect for friends, family, and couples to have some time.
The rooftop view
The romantic view of the rooftop made it even lovelier if we tried to sit here. Unfortunately, it's raining cats and dogs earlier so it's not yet available.
Catchy quotes😉
I'll leave these quotes to you as a reminder that we should have to give ourselves a break. Making ourselves a priority is not selfishness, it is to make our work more productive when we are happy and full.
Thank you for reading this far Hivers and God bless.
