Posted by Ria Hazel on 11:00 AM in BBQ, food blog, Food park, foodie, Korean, Korean BBQ, Le Village, Le Village Food Park, Meat, Quezon City, Samgyupsal, Samgyupsal King, Unli BBQ, yummy,

Having been to South Korea twice, I am fond of eating Korean BBQ and noted a few places in Manila that is perfect for my liking. But recently, I have been invited at Samgyupsal King at The Lifestyle "Le Village" Park and I never realized until that time that they are located at my favorite pink themed food park. While most unli BBQ places have their own establishments, I think setting up inside a food park is also perfect, as if you're in a "pojangmacha" (street tent stall in Korea)
