[ENG - APP REVIEW CONTEST] Korean Restaurant Guide


I love Korean food. It started since I watched many Korean dramas, especially those that have scenes of the characters eating Korean cuisines. If you ever watch k-drama like Let's Eat, you'll be drooling over some Korean foods that look super delicious. Name it, ramyeon, bibimbap, budae jjigae, those marinated raw crab, pork meat wrapped in lettuce, plus the way they eat...  SLURP! You'll be like, "I wanna eat that! Right now!"

But then you don't know where to go, you don't know any korean restaurant near your place, you don't know whether they have the dish you want to try or not, etc. You don't have to worry no more. I found this app that'll guide you to many korean restaurants. If you're not in Indonesia, they also have many versions on many other countries or cities like England, Japan, and New York.  You can download it on your iOS or Android gadget, for free! Just search "korean restaurant guide" --> get --> install ! (For Android user, type "koreanrestaurantguide") You can also download it from KFF (Korean Food Foundation)  http://id.korean-culture.org





I tapped on where i live, Indonesia, and it shows me many korean restaurants along with the complete description and pictures of the dish. Some of the restaurants even show the picture of their interior! Looks really nice! The descriptions are also available in 3 languages, Bahasa, English and Korean.





On the menu bar and i can see the list of korean dishes arranged alphabetically, also complete with the description. Oh! That's the marinated crab i saw in the drama!




I really want to try bossam, so i typed that on the search bar and tapped on the main menu bar. Yes! There's a restaurant in Jakarta that serves it! 



The information about the restaurant even include the estimate budget per person, which is pretty crucial for me, since i don't really want to spend more than IDR 150,000 (about $12). And i just have to look at the map & i'm good to go!



Overall, it's a great and really useful app! I didn't know that there are so many korean restaurants in Jakarta with lots of variety in their dishes, even those that i didn't really expect they have here in Jakarta. I've tried many korean dishes before but now i wanna try even more. Samgyetang, yukhoecarbonara tteokbokki, they all look so good!

But i think it would be even greater if the app had a rate bar and comment bar, so that people can rate & comment about the restaurant that they actually went, and so i can know which dish in which restaurant is the best of the best.


So, get the app and tell me what you think!
Lastly, anyone want to go to eat bossam with me? :-)
