Bibimbap (Korean Dish)
Have you ever had Bibimbap before? If you ever had Korean food, you must have tried Bibimbap. I introduced this to a friend of mine, her first time eating at a Korean restaurant. She ended up loving the dish.
For those that never had Bibimbap, it is a Korean Mixed Dish consisting of a hot stone bowl filled with white rice, mixed sauteed vegetables, and Gochujang (Chili Pepper Paste). Sometimes, the dish is topped off with an Egg and a choice of Beef, Pork, Chicken or even Shrimp. Vegetables can be a variety depending on where you go to eat but almost always julienned. It can include mushrooms, daikon (Asian Radish), bean sprouts, lettuce and even tofu. All the vegetables on top with the egg creates a gorgeous palette of colors and of course appetizing. You won’t be able to resist once you see and smell it.
If you never had Bibimbap before, try it at your nearest Korean Restaurant. It is such a staple food that its almost impossible to screw this up! Mix thoroughly before eating the dish!

MGM Grand Hotel @ Las Vegas
Finechinaguy and I visited Las Vegas in November of 2007. After nearly two years of hiatus, I finally can write about this post! Of course there are just so many more posts to cover, but I will cover what time will allow! So please be patience and stay tune for more posts, and many of them are from Vegas!
Craftsteak Restaurant
When you come to Las Vegas, you have to at least try one of the “brand name” restaurants! Sure there are lots of affordable buffets, but let your tastebuds indulge in deliciously crafted gourmet food! Yes it can be expensive, but you pay for what you get.
MGM Grand was the hotel that we stayed at and fortunately for us Craftsteak was conveninetly located here! The only reason I know about Craftsteak is because of Top Chef. Tom Colicchio, who is a familiar face on that show, is the owner of this restaurant. After watching many episodes of Top Chef and having great respect for Chef Colicchio, I knew I had to try this restaurant. It’s funny how this restaurant is also located in New York City, but I never really bother to go because of time or because I never think it’s in my budget. But since I’m on vacation, I might as well splurge a little!

My bf and I are crazy in love with beef jerky. But unfortunately, we’ve never had fresh ones before because we always get the packaged ones from the store. But my god, when you step foot inside the shop you’ll see all the jerky goodness inside! Mm!! Too bad I didn’t get a picture inside because I was so overwhelmed by its strong spicy and sweet aroma. Anyways, we decided to get the 1/4 of the spicy beef and pork jerky to go since you can’t really sit and eat there.
Even after a long trip back home in brooklyn, the jerkies are still warm!! Yess. Anyways, this is the spicy pork jerky and it’s my first time having pork jerky. This jerky is very soft since it’s fresh, and it made it easy to eat. See even though it’s spicy, I honestly didn’t think it would be that spicy because it looks pretty sweet! But goodness, it was incredibly spicy! When my father took a bite of this, he was running to the kitchen for water because it was that fiery! Even though it burns, it was a very good pork jerky and it tastes a little sweet and it’s very spicy and tender as well!
Recommended!

This is the spicy beef jerky. Wow, this is the best beef jerky I have ever heard. This isn’t as overwhelmingly spicy as the pork, which is perfect for me. It’s warm, very sweet (probably they added a honey glaze) and subtly salted. I love it. You have to definitely try it for yourself!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This isn’t a restaurant so I couldn’t find the health inspection results. But don’t worry, there’s a lot of people working in there so I’m sure they keep it in tip top shape! =)
