Sundae (Korean cuisine)

A more atypical way to immerse one's self to Korean cuisine, this quaint spot is one of the only few places among the numerous Korean restaurants across Manila to serve sundae. Most of individuals familiarize sundae as being that of a sweet ice cream desert, however Korean sundae take this name to a whole different spectrum of food. Across Korea, sundae is thought of not as an ice cream but a savory type meal made of pig or cow's innards, blood, vermicelli, and barley. Originally, sundae was created as more a remedy during famished times in pre-modern Korea when meat was scarce during the hostile winters. The blood and barley actually were used as extenders to make the sausage-like dish taste like meat. However in the present world, sundae has evolved to become one of Korea's most sought after delicacies instead of being a poor man's meal with pauperized connotations. As a matter of fact, sundae has gained the recognition of food lovers and gourmets across Manila. With a filling and slightly spicy sensation, sundae is considered to be worth trying among food enthusiasts. There is actually no any taste of "lamang loob" at all! Even famous chef Gene Gonzales himself said that it was one of the best things he's ever tasted.
