Shop, Eat Took Bae Kee, Repeat - Perth

For the first time in the 17 years I've lived in Perth I planned to join in the craze of Boxing Day Sales. Mr. T and I arrived in the city by 9am and we were pumped, moving from store to store and buying things we never knew we needed at the speed of light. By 11 we were both exhausted and hangry. I knew exactly what I wanted for lunch, bibimbap! And, I knew exactly where I wanted to go, Took Bae Kee! As if by fate, it turned out on boxing day took bae kee opened earlier, which meant we didn't have to wait a minute longer to enjoy our delicious Korean food. 

Mixed Seafood Pancake ($8)

To begin our meal, we ordered the mixed seafood pancake. I love Korean pancakes, especially the tasty soy sauce that comes with it. The pancake at took bae kee is always tasty, however they do make it a  little bit thicker than I like it, so it's not as crispy. The flavour is delicious and because it is quite thick it very filling! Just add rice and you could have a whole meal out of it.

Soy Beef Dolsot Bibimbap ($15) with extra egg ($2)

Spicy Fish Dolsot Bibimbap ($15) with extra egg ($2)

For mains, I opted for the soy beef dolsot bibimbap. Bibimbap is always better in the clay bowl, making it warmer for longer and it leaves a nice crispy layer of rice sticking to the bowl. Mr. T ordered the spicy fish dolsot bibimbap. I ordered the soy beef rather than the spicy beef as I thought the spicy beef would be too hot, but it turns out I loved the spiciness of the spicy fish on Mr. T's bibimbap! So I added an extra large scoop of the gochujang to make up for it!

By the end of the meal we were both absolutely stuffed, and couldn't eat another bite even though we were planning to buy Korean ice cream from the convenience shop next door. A trip to took bae kee never disappoints, the food is always tasty and the prices aren't cheap, but well worth it!
