Ihaw-ihaw is Life! Eating Korean Barbecue like a Local! #DailyFoodPhotography

Hello to all Steemians out there! How are you all? I hope you are all doing great.

Sharing to you guys my food photography when me and my boyfriend had dinner together in the famous RA restaurant located in Agus Road in Lapu-Lapu City.

The photo above shows how we cooked the marinated slices of pork (which was our main dish) over a portable stove. So, obviously we made a Korean barbecue out from our own curiosity or locally we can call it "ihaw-ihaw" in our own dialect.

Also, the photo above is my first entry to #dailyfoodphotography and at the same time #foodphotography.

The whole experience of dining at a Korean barbecue restaurant has its own charm. You pick your own marinated or non-marinated slices of beef, pork, or chicken. While you’re waiting for the built-in grills to heat up, you can sneak in a bite or two from the small bowls of side dishes, also known as banchan. Once the meat is cooked, you wrap a piece of lettuce around the grilled meat and a few banchan. With practice, you'll eventually master the art of "grill, wrap, and repeat!"

The moment you’re introduced to the taste of a perfectly-grilled, thinly-sliced beef that's wrapped beautifully in a piece of lettuce, then you’ll understand why people love and crave it. The long lines you would usually see in Korean barbecue restaurants start to make sense. How can one resist a bang-for-your-buck offer to eat unlimited grilled, delicious meat? It’s perfect for a lunch out with family–or even to cap off a night out with friends!

By the way, before your choice of meat arrives at your table, you will be welcomed by numerous bowls of banchan. These side dishes are important to your K-BBQ experience for it adds varying flavors and texture to each bite. If you need a second (or even more) serving of kimchi (fermented vegetables and spices), kkadugi (cubed radish kimchi), sukjunamul (marinated mung bean sprouts), gamja jorim (glazed potatoes), japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), or whatever side dish is available, all you have to do is ask the server.

That is all for today, I hope you like it.
Thank you for dropping by and Godbless us all.
