Ceci Korean Restaurant

Was going to Burwood cinemas to watch Transformers with the boy one night, so decided to have dinner in Strathfield. Strathfield is known for their Korean restaurants and being a cold winter's day, Korean sounded perfect. The boy didn't want Korean BBQ so that eliminated half of the Korean restaurants. We finally decided on Ceci Korean Restaurant.

Food came out quite quickly starting with the usual side dishes of kimchi, marinated beansprouts, potatoes and a jelly like thing.

Beansprouts had a strong taste of sesame oil

Didn't try this one.. some sort of jelly?

The kimchi pancake came out looking all fiery red and was absolutely delish. I rather prefer the kimchi pancake to the usual seafood pancake that I used to order.

Kimchi Pancake $10

The sweet chilli chicken unfortunately didn't have the same effect as when I had it in the city.. it tasted like sweet and sour pork.. did not have a hint of spice and the chicken unfortunately lacked crunch.

Sweet chilli chicken $18

The soybean paste stew included tofu, mushrooms, clams, potato slices, mussels and veges. This dish was perfect for a winters night.

Soybean Paste Stew $10

TK something..

The girls all decided to meet up for dinner one night as one of our besties who moved to Hong Kong temporarily was back in Sydney to visit. Miss Y suggested we go to TK Something at Canley Vale. At first I had thought that she didn't know the full name of the restaurant but after some research I found out that the restaurant was really called TK Something.
It is an all you can eat Korean inspired BBQ restaurant. It is not one of those all you can eat places where you can choose the meats from a main area, instead you select the dishes from a menu and the waiter brings it out to you. There is a 2 hour limit and food wastage is charged at $5 per plate.
Was $29.50 per person and didn't include drinks other than tea and water.
Dinner started with some side dishes or banchan that you usually find at Korean restaurants. Tonight's banchan consisted of marinated seaweed, raw cabbage salad, beansprouts, green vegetables and kimchi. All of these were refillable. Lettuce and various dipping sauces were also given.

The menu was extensive with the usual marinated meats and seafood and some that you don't usually see at Korean BBQs which include kangaroo, nem nuong (which may cater for the locals), chicken feet and pork sausages and pork skin.

Beef in vine leaf

Chicken Teriyaki

Beef ribs, chicken satay and nem nuong

Lemongrass beef

The seafood selection included scallops, fresh prawns, marinated fish and many more.

Fresh Prawn

Whole scallop including the roe!

Baby octopus

Everything was well marinated and the creme brulee offered for dessert was to die for! There were a few of us that  kept going back for more! It's a good place to catch up with friends as it gives you time to chat and catch up while you wait for the food to cook. It was an excellent choice made by Miss Y and I thought it was well worth the money.

Corn tasted like those from the frozen section

Chocolate Mousse and Panna Cotta

The very yummy creme brulee.. I'll come back just for this!

Will definitely come back with the boy next time I crave for Korean BBQ!!
