CeCi! That’s my go to place for Korean food. You’ve got to try their Dukbokgi with noodles.. my housemate orders that, and only that! But, a warning, it can be quite spicy.

As for Patbingsoo, the Strathfield Square Cafe located in the square serves a MASSIVE GIGANTIC HUMUNGO bowl of patbingsoo for $35. You’d need at least 10 people to finish it, no joke. That is one bowl of goodness though!

sydneyguyrojoe: really?! interesting… what’s the name of the place you consider to be the one true Korean bbq? But that sounds kind of sad =T only one customer on supposedly one of the busiest nights of the week… hope they’re doing okay – hate seeing restaurants close, it always makes me sad.

m: hahah believe you me, i’m amazed as well. Those two guys really know how to pack it in! hehe… Most definitely will be getting a small bing soo next time =P We learnt our lesson haha.

I thought the ddeok was kind of like a really thick rice noodle and it was okay, but it wasn’t something I went back to (considering all the other dishes on the table). Will have to give it another (proper) try next time =)

i’m amazed you finished most of the food! you ordered quite a lot! Usually the small bing soo is enough for a few people.
did you enjoy the ddeok? i’m curious as to how non-koreans react to ddeok.

Jen: Really! They’re on the NSWFA’s penalty site? =T Damn, I didn’t know… Seemed like a pretty neat hang out place though =)

I’d definitely come back to CeCi if I’m in the mood for Korean and in the area. Hehe

goofus: hehe should come back to see the photos and you might want to get someone to eat with you – you don’t want to get a stitch during training because you’re so full hahah

Arwen from Hoglet K: Thanks! ^_^ Yeah, every time I look at that dessert I just shake my head – still rather amazed at how gigantic it was.

Miss Honey: Hehehe that it was =D

kang: The rice was really good! (I had to look up Umami though haha… learn something new each day. ^_^)

Hehe, that’s what I thought, “All that fruit… At least it’s healthy… I hope.”

Walter: Oooh, I’ll try the Korean style sweet and sour chicken next time! =) And thanks for the tip on getting there early – will also try to keep that in mind for next time we drop by.

chocolatesuze: hahahha I think it was my fruit intake for the month! XD

LorraineE: Hehehe yeah, I was thinking that most guys would appreciate the generous servings… they can still astound me by how much they can eat!

Loving the portion sizes there. I think I could take hubby and he’d be ever so happy! And the Pat Bing Soo has to be one of the most jaw dropping looking desserts ever

I love CeCi - though I tend to order all the sinfully fattening dishes, like the Korean style sweet & sour chicken and the spicy fried dumplings - hmmmmm........ You have to get there early though, otherwise there are queues. Walter’s last blog post..Prince Manvendra

The rice must have been really tasty indeed – umami rich

That is a huge pudding, lotsa fresh fruits so it’s gotta be healthy at least.

Nice photo of the dumplings. It's the dessert that makes me hungry though, it's an amazing combination, and huge! Arwen from Hoglet K’s last blog post..Gelatomassi

… Hungry now. Being capped means I couldn’t look at the photos, but that meant naught as the descriptive text more than sufficed!

When soccer season starts up again, I know what I might be trying for dinner before a cold winter night’s training… Although now I’m gladly forewarned about the portion sizes!!! Thanks! ^_^

Ca’D'Or was my fave during high school. I had some good times there and then some bad… they’d kick us out unless we ordered at least 1 drink each… haha… and these days they’re on the NSW Food Authority penalty site way too often!

CeCi on the other hand is nothing but good stuff
