Harrogate Food Buzz

Sorry you’ve not heard much from me for a few weeks....I’m just taking a short break from the vlogs and hope to back with them in June.

In this weeks VLOG ūüď≤ūüźĚ I wanted to share the delicious food from the second Korean Cafe Pop Up at Baltzersen's run by Gina from Onnuri - Authentic Korean Food ūü•Ę
Last nights menu was Bibimbap (mixed rice) with an option of toppings (Beef/Fish/Tofu) and as you can see from the pics the food was pretty spectacular! ūüĎĆūüŹĽ
From the perfect egg yolk broken open and mixed up through the Beef Bulgogi with veggies and rice to the wonderful crispy Kimchi Mandu dumplings ūü•ü the food did not ...disappoint!
The highlight for me was the deep fried Korean chicken ūüėÜ - marinaded in Soy & Garlic it was sweet, sticky and totally addictive!! ūü§§
We had a wonderful relaxed evening with fantastic food and great service...
I’d definitely recommend nabbing a ticket next time round!
