Drunken Rice 주막 - Korean restaurant

The very same night after having lunch at Dulcis Domus Wood Fired Pizza, I adjourned with another friend for a Korean dinner

He was going to treat me tonight as a gesture towards my earlier treat

We wandered around Pitt street as it was famous for korean restaurants but we decided on Drunken Rice as my friend said his friend had recommended it. Also, he already had korean bbq for lunch and was sick of it.

The weather was also cold and thus perfect for some kimchi steamboat


Just from the decor in the restaurant, it was quite unique as we can see kettle pots hanging from the walls symbolising some olden days Korean traditions. Also, this restaurant is very popular with natives as Koreans were sighted and the language was visibly audible while patronising this joint


We had our starters, as well as the seafood pancake. It was a tad too much for both boys. We had the peach rice wine in pink above. It was really tasty and refreshing. Moreover, it came in bowls for us to drink in instead of cups. My friend still foolishly asked for cups and an older lady(possibly the owner) gestiulates wildly to us saying "use the bowl" 


This spicy kimchi pork ribs steamboat tastes really good. I really like the broth and mild spice taste. The only problem is that it takes effort to eat the ribs haha. I guess we sat there for a really long time. Maybe we should have chosen the sausage ones which were easier to chew on. Perhaps next time. Total bill comes out to about AUD $60+, and we had a really good time in this little Korea right in this quiet street right next to all the hype and buzz in the CBD area.
