We decided to try some Korean Beef Kalbi (in addition to some Thai Coconut Curry Chicken) we saw at Kroger / Fry's that was on clearance. The beef came in a sealed bag, and it was pretty easy to cook following the microwave instructions.

The kalbi beef pieces were pretty good pieces of meat. The kalbi sauce was thick, and it had sort of the taste it's supposed to have, but it was too sweet. Unfortunately, it tasted more just like a regular American bbq sauce than a Korean one.

My mom took me out to eat at Asiana Resaurant in West Chester, OH. I ordered my favorite Korean foods: Beef Kalbi/Galbi and dumplings / mandu. My mom ordered a lunch box combo that came with grilled salmon teriyaki.

The dumplings / mandu were pan-fried vegetable dumplings, and they were nice and crunchy. I couldn't really tell what vegetables were in it, but it was delicious.

The kalbi came out nice and sizzling. However, the taste of the kalbi was more salty than sweet; it wasn't as sweet as I would have liked. A lot of the beef was either fat or bone so there wasn't much meat to get out of it.

My mom's grilled salmon teriyaki was cooked very well and wasn't too dry. The teriyaki sauce also wasn't very sweet, but it went fine with the salmon.

The meal came with the usual Korean side dishes and rice. There were six side dishes, I was very happy to see fish cake among them. I looove the slightly sweet taste of fish cake so, not surprisingly, that was my favorite side dish. I also enjoyed the kimchi since it wasn't a sour kimchi, and it was nice and slightly sweet. The remaining side dishes had mostly a salty taste and were a little too salty for me.

My boyfriend's mom had bought us these frozen Beef Taquitos from Whole Foods so we tried some. The beef taquitos were kind of bland, and the tortilla was a little tough. The taquitos had an overall tortilla taste. The inside just tasted like mush; I really couldn't taste much beef flavor.

The good thing about it was that it didn't taste bad.. it just had little taste, which meant it could be made to taste better by adding salsa, guacamole, etc.
