Bibimbap

Bibimbap was first mentioned as a dish apparently in a 19th century cookbook, the restaurant BiBimBap tells us in their list of facts about the dish which gave their restaurant its name. The Korean dish has proved a huge hit in London and in a relatively short space of time, the restaurant has already expanded out of Soho and a little further North to Charlotte St. There are all sorts of variations of this popular dish, you can have spicy pork, Kimchi (the Korean pickled cabbage) Bibimbap, soft tofu, boiled chicken or raw seafood or raw beef. In fact, in this restaurant there are ten varieties of Bibimbap, so there is definitely something for everything. The dish is traditionally served in stone bowls which pander to the kind of rough but beautiful aesthetic which does well in London.
