Manna Korean Restaurant

Its been quite sometime since I last wrote about food...been busy with work and was not able to explore the food places in Davao...

Then on one Saturday noon, while walking in SM Lanang Sky Garden, one newly opened restaurant was Manna Korean Restaurant.

Banchan,  a variety of refillable appetizers.  Most of these are vegetables but prepared and presented in a different way.  Even if you are not fond of vegetables, you will like these.

 My favorite among the banchan, Kimchi!

The JJampong, its a bright red, spicy seafood stew with lots of noodles, clams, squid, and shrimp.

For the meat dishes, the two of the favorites are:

Samgeopsal, which is grilled pork belly.  The literal meaning of the word is “three (sam; 삼) layered (gyeop; 겹) flesh (sal;살)”, referring to what appears to be three layers that are visible in the meat. One can also find ogyeopsal (오겹살), with o meaning “five”.

Beef bulgogi which is made with grilled marinated meat.

No visit to a Korean restaurant will be complete without this:

Bibimbap which means "mixed rice": white rice with various vegetables, beef, egg and gochujang(red chili paste) as seen below.

I tend to shy away from rice and not really fond of vegetables but with Korean cuisine, the great taste makes me eat rice and vegetables!
