Bonga

Eastwood is a suburb that is divided by the Railway line.  On the one side lies little "Chinatown" full of Chinese grocery stores and on the quieter side of the station little Korea comes to life.  There are so many Korean restaurants that unless you are a Korean, you won't know which one is good.  That was the case for me last Saturday... which one to try?  Eenie Meenie Mynie Mo... Hmm...

I decided to take mum to BONGA.  This is a relatively new restaurant by that I mean a few months old.  I pass it on a weekly basis and noticed a change of hands.  The number of customers have increased gradually, so I decided to go in for a try.  The restaurant is a family restaurant, newly set out tables with covered stoves.  Quite high tech now as the gas lighter for the stoves is by pressing one of the buttons on the tables rather than the stoves.  The gas itself sits under the tables.  We were early (12 noon) and were their first customers. 

The menu looks varied enough. There are meat dishes you can barbeque on the stove or you can order ala carte.  The main meals are served with rice.

Mum and I ordered spicy pork and a seafood tofu hotpot.  The condiments arrived shortly after the main meal arrived.  They were very tasty.  Mum must have enjoyed it as she ate quite a bit.  Lunch costs $25.  Not bad at all...next...
