Korean Comfort Fast Food From Cupbop Indonesia
Visually speaking, the dishes looked mouthwatering with its glistening red sauce and sesame seed topping. As we devoured into them, they taste less Korean which means that they toned the flavor down somehow to match our taste buds. We expected a strong kimchi or soy sauce flavor to present on the dishes. The spiciness level was not too frightening as we did not drown in our tears and sweat after finished them. Cupbop ricebowls also have a little bit of Korean stir fried glass noodle or known as Japchae for the topping, and they also added lettuce, onion and carrot to the mix. If you eat it without adding the sauce, you will be able to taste the meat, spice and the freshness of crunchy lettuce and the Japchae clearly. The had their own distinct taste that suits best if eaten with a bowl of warm rice. Once we poured the sauce however, the sauce took over our palettes and the flavor blended in unison. Their fried chicken was crunchy outside and well seasoned, while the BBQ one was mild tasting.
Much to our surprise, the mandoo was pretty good but unfortunately it wasn’t served piping hot and the filling did not feel that fresh in our opinion. To complete our Korean fast food experience, we had Pear and Pomme Korean juice as our beverages selection. Since it was bottled juice, do not expect fresh fruit taste coming from it, but we truly enjoyed them. Both tasted fresh, cold and at the same time sweet and a tad sour. They came in glass bottle which looked fancy and elegant. The price is affordable enough and you could also get special price offer if you use T-Cash or BCA credit card while it still lasts.
