Korean Night Porto

Arca Pub hosted “Korean Night” which was organized by Mana & Maneet again. The korean cook, Jae Hyeok Kim, prepared the food in this time.

Even though the place was full of people, It was very cozy and warm as usual so that everyone was relaxed and enjoyed for a dinner night.

The menu consisted of two kinds like below;

Korean pork ribs with Kimchi and rice (Dwaeji Galbi Jjim)

Korean vegetable pancake (Buchimgae)

The first cuisine was perfect for someone who loved the spicy food.On the other hand, the second one was the best option for vegan or somebody who preferred the light meal. The food was even more tasty paired with a refreshing beer.

Korean Weekend - Porto

No dia 15 e 16 de Fevereiro tivemos a oportunidade de experimentar alguns sabores da Coreia no Porto, no Korean Weekend, organizado por Mana & Maneeat no Arca Pub. Os pratos foram confeccionados a convite do chef francês Angelo Reyes. Este evento foi também patrocinado pela Hyundai Portugal.

O menu consistia em bulgoggi, um prato confecionado com carne de vaca, finamente cortada em bifinhos e japchae, um prato de massa e vegetais. Ambos os pratos foram acompanhados de Kimchi.

O local estava cheio, com um bom ambiente e iluminação aconchegante e todos estavam muito animados. Sendo um pub, a comida foi servida em pratos de plástico e o jantar decorreu de forma descontraída e confortável.

Esperamos que, no futuro, haja mais eventos com comida do Sudeste Asiático no Arca Pub, com mais menus coreanos, de diferentes partos em cada evento. Os próximos pratos já se encontram definidos:gamjatang e bibimpap!

On the 15 and 16 of February, we were able to taste the flavours of Korea in Porto. The Korean Weekend, held by Mana & Maneeat in Arca Pub. Dishes had been prepared by the French chef Angelo Reyes. This event was also sponsored by Hyundai Portugal.

The menu included bulgoggi, a dish made of thin slices of beef and japchae, which consists of stir-fried glass noodles and vegetables; both dishes were served with kimchi.

The place was crowded and irradiating a warm atmosphere with cosy lightings; everyone was having a good time and because it took place in a pub, all food had been served in plastic dishes, which contributed to create an informal and relaxing environment.

Soon, there will be more events like this at the Arca Pub, focused on Southeast Asian food and more Korean dishes will be served, such as gamjatang and bibimpap.
