‘Korean food! Isn’t that Chinese food’s poor cousin?’
was obviously our reaction when we were invited for the Korean BBQ and
vegetarian Hot Pot at Trikaya Restaurant, Versova, Mumbai.
With chains in Mumbai and Pune, this casual Korean
eatery invited us bloggers to get our hands dirty and dish up some delightful
Korean fare for our blogger friends. Being a pure vegetarian, and ignoring ‘ghaas phoos’ snarls from my fellow non-veggie
food bloggers, we waded the waters to prepare an authentic Korean Hot Pot,
which looked somewhat like this.
Must say, it turned out pretty well.
They had semi-blanched the vegetables for the workshop,
and all I did was pick a pair of chopsticks, and add everything from lettuce to
spinach to mushrooms and broccoli in a Hot Pot and let it steam for a couple of
minutes. Added to it were condiments according to taste like roasted garlic
powder, scallions, oyster sauce, soy sauce, etc.
Since it wasn’t a food review, we didn’t eat a lot at Trikaya, but they made us taste their water chestnut and corn
appetizer, some virgin mojitos, the Korean Hot Pot and Banana Toffee, which was delicious yet not too heavy to leave us bloated.
They have sold Korean food to us now, hope we can come
back to try it all! J
