Sibyulee [Sib-yool-lee] is a fast
and growing restaurant in Ayala The 30th Mall that serves authentic
Korean food fare. The said restaurant is brightly lit and has a very welcoming
feel. We like that their interior is cozy with Korean BBQ exhaust made for
grilling. There’s quite a small space for you to move around but it pretty much
compensate for their unlimited banchan [appetizers], cooked food and meat to
BBQ. We really liked their banchan composed of sweetened peanuts with dried
anchovy, pickled radish and cucumber, water spinach and kimchi. They all give a
good balance between sweet, sour and savoury taste.
Sibyullee takes it pride from
serving the flavours of Seoul, inspired by the vibrant street food in
Myeongdong and innovative BBQ in Itaewon. The Korean method of roasting beef,
pork, chicken, or other types of meat is far different from the usual “BBQ”
parties you usually organize in your backyard. The star of the show is
undoubtedly the meat—different types, cuts, marinated etc—that is grilled at
the diner’s table on a gas or charcoal grills. This experience allows diners to
talk, cook, and enjoy their food at the same time.
At Sibyullee, who can resist the
multiple sensory pleasures of Korean BBQ? The spicy, salty flavours and the
combination of textures and temperatures, not to mention the hands-on fun of
going through a pile of lettuce leaves, wrapping your own individual “lettuce
wrap” or better known as samgyupsal, and popping them into your mouth, it’s
enough to make your meal memorable. If you have yet to try, it’s time to call
up some friends and get ready to be in a culinary treat. Please wear clothes
that you don’t mind recking of smoke or BBQ afterwards.
To bring diners on an even more
exciting culinary adventure, Sibyullee offers unique meat cuts marinated in a
delicious blend of Korean spices and is then grilled to perfection. They’re
full of rich flavours, tender and juicy. They are the closest you can get to
savouring authentic Korean flavours without necessarily travelling to Seoul.
