Try Every Korean Restaurant in Ermita and Malate (44) (see all posts on TEKREM)

Surveying the Korean eateries, including those serving Korean-Chinese fare, located in the neighborhoods of Ermita and Malate, nearby work and home.  Minimum of 1 dish per place.  Currently 45 establishments.  Though anticipating that most of the places will be mediocre, I look forward to exploring more of my environment.

Dokdo is a Korean restaurant.
Wasn’t really supposed to be a meal, just drinks and snacks.

The food was okay.  Whereas restaurants named “Dokdo” tend to serve seafood – typically Japanese in style (see for example 3.094 Tuna Sashimi), though nobody else seems to recognize the hypocrisy – the Dokdo here offers a wide variety of items, mostly anju.  The fried chicken was excellent, crispy and flavorful, perhaps the best that I’ve tried throughout TEKREM.

I’ve been to the actual islands (see 1.227 Cabbage with Salt & Sesame Oil).

This post covers two restaurants, same dish, different dates.  I will do this more often to accelerate the completion of TEKREM.

Located in Bellagio Square, a food/bar court.
On weekends, the place is packed with customers drinking beer and listening to live bands.

Gam Mi Ok is a Korean restaurant.

The soup was okay…
…but the rice was unforgivably mushy.
