Ce Ci Korean Restaurant and Monthly Recipe

Hi All,

        I thought I got back in the groove with my routines. Me being me, I decided to pick up more routines and here I am tripping over my schedules again. Finally, I manage to get some time to write again. I never thought I would ever write before. It surprises me how I start missing it after only a week of not writing.

        Anyway, on a recent Sunday evening I caught up with a friend for a relaxing dinner. We decided to browse around Strathfield since we haven’t dined in the area for a while. As most of you who are familiar with the area would know, Korean restaurants fill all the main streets of Strathfield – all around the station and beyond. After browsing around, we took a pick at Ce Ci Korean Restaurant. Since the entree menu is not much more than Korean pancakes and omelette, we got straight onto the main menu.

        We shared Fried Rice, Stir Fried Squid with chili sauce, and Stir Fried Beef with vegetables. It was plenty of food. The fried rice was full of flavours yet mild enough to accompany the rich stir fried squid. The mild garlic flavour, spices, and crunchy vegetables are comforting. The squid was cooked well, soft yet still crunchy. The chili sauce base was slightly nutty and sweet with spicy onion pieces. The stir fried beef was slightly disappointing. It has very simple flavours with clear sauce base and the sweet taste that doesn't complement the slightly dry beef slices.

        All in all, we were satisfied from the two dishes and managed to make the stir fried beef a complementing dish. For the price that Ce Ci Korean Restaurant charges, the food and service were satisfying enough especially for a weekday take away or Sunday lazy dinner.

        For those of you who's expanding your horizons into healthy cooking that is also yummy and exciting, you must try my new recipe for this month on the right side of this page. With hardly any calories, very low in fat, and full of flavours, you will love the fresh crunchy vegetables with exciting flavours combination of basil, coriander, and mint. Then it's all topped with punchy, sweet, slightly nutty, and citrus dressing. The pork is grilled on the BBQ until tender and aromatic.
