Korean food in Dubai

Globalisation has done wonders for us. You can find Asian cuisine in the heart of the Arab world. 

Recently my latest form of escapism has become Korean dramas. Simply put: they're entertaining. Being a foodie I ended up playing close attention to what the characters in my drama constantly ate and I was introduced to Korean food so I set out to search for Korean food in Dubai. 

You can find almost any cuisine in Dubai with such a large multi-cultured population. I finally found an  Asian cuisine restaurant with authentic Korean, Thai and Japanese food hidden near Al Ghurair. It was called: Shogun. 

I was really excited about experiencing a new cuisine as I'd never eaten korean food before and I was also happy about finally eating the food some of the characters in the dramas that i've watched eat so enthusiastically. 

My friend and I ordered Udong, Kimbap and Saewoo Jeon. Simply put: it was amazing. We had Kimchi in the starters and I didnt like it as much as i'd thought I would but the main courses were great and not as pricy.
