    This post is brilliant, really made my day.

    We've got one guy who will never try Korean food again, anywhere, because he once was served a chicken breast that he didn't like the colour of. And we've got another guy who won't eat Korean food because 3 million years ago he knew a Korean guy who smelt bad!

    Forgive me if this is borderline trolling, but I couldn't help myself.

    The point of this message is to thank this forum and this post for making me laugh whilst eating my breakfast. Have a great day fellow Korean food lovers :smile:

    Tried out the Korean restaurant in Tanjay tonight, called Yumi’s. We had the samgyupsal and Korean egg roll (like an omelet). The samgyupsal also came with a salad and a bowl of kimchi chigae for each of us plus some sides. Everything was pretty decent and nice to have another dining opportunity in Tanjay.

    A small menu but will try out some other dishes in the days/weeks going forward. They’ve been open for about 5 weeks from what we were told. Good/attentive wait staff as well.

    Maybe the chicken breast was infused with some sort of sauce that was darker in color?

    And how does one bad experience at a Korean place make you want to never try another one?

    The O.P. comes from Tanjay, hence why he was informing those travelling through or living nearby. The restaurant you were thinking of, near Silliman is Fish 153 which I think is great too. It is also a Korean grocer see https://www.facebook.com/fish153dgt. I agree Soban is tasty and good service too.

    I have 15 years on and off living/working in Korea and Korean food is my favorite. I've eaten at both (that I know of) Korean restaurants in Dumaguete; had some good meals had some not so good. Also eaten at Korean restaurants in Cebu, Manila and Bohol some better than others.

    Like I said, another dining option in Tanjay. Seems to be doing a fair amount of business as well.
