So far my rankings for best bibimbap (keeping in mind I didn’t have the beef version at all of these places): Oriental Spoon ($13) Seoul Metro ($9.50) Darac ($13) Big Mama ($14.5) Seoul Soul ($9.50) White Tomato ($11.5) However, in terms of value, Seoul Metro wins hands down.

I have to confess, I haven't heard much about red chicken (or ayam masak merah) before, so it piqued my interest. Perhaps it isn't a common dish from the part of Malaysia my parents are from. To try something different I had the biryani rice with red chicken and sambal eggplant. Instead of being cooked together, it seemed as if the eggplant had been deep-fried with a light batter then topped with sambal paste, which was particularly obvious when I noticed the sambal only coated some of the surfaces...
The Aylesbury has recently been transformed into Bomba, a casual tapas bar. Although mum was sorely tempted by the paella on offer, we all ordered the Workers Lunch, which included a choice of tapas, raciones and side dish.

Had the opportunity to try All Day Burger today. I just had their regular burger with free range beef pattie, cheese, lettuce, tomato and their special mayonnaise ($8). Other options included double meat, veggie burger and a special of the day, which was chorizo-flavoured chicken. French fries were also available. The pattie had some good flavours, though mine wasn't particularly juicy. There was also a low bread to filling ratio so the burger wasn't as moist as it could have been.
