My post was suppose to be bottom of Tammy post. I was saying that Tammy is wrong to justify why Korean cuisine is more expensive then any other Asian cuisine. Her reason is that the preparation takes very long to prepare, thus, must be more expensive.

I can tell you that other Asian cuisine takes as much preparation as Korean cuisine, and I bet you Korean restaurant or any restaurant, just hire less kitchen staff for whatever short cut reason, that is why they over charge there food.

P.S. Half of the Korean menu is expensive raw meat, that is not hard to prepare.

I tend to think of the higher price as more factoring in or including the price of the banchan into the price of the entree. After all, free doesn’t really mean free.

Okay that is bull$#@%! Everything takes time and labor and it doesn’t matter what cuisine. You and I know or any one know how to cooks, know that is the most BULL$#$# excuse in the world. The better excuse is the quality of the meat or something the Chef did to make it more special etc…

The reason why Korean food tends to be more expensive than other Asian restaurants is because Korean food takes up more time for the prepartion of the dish. The hours put into preparing each dish tends to be longer and perhaps the labour spent also factors into the price of each dish.

[...] BBQ was great. Actually I felt it was much better than the ones I had in Cho Sun (but the ones in Meok Ja Gol is still the best). It was really moist and the meat of good quality [...]

Hey Phil:
I really appreciate your help in helping me check on this. I have a key info now (you’re using IE8). I rarely use IE and have always used Firefox or Google Chrome. I know of a few template/formatting issues using IE but it was due to the way IE chooses t render the HTML. Anyway, I will use IE going forward and hopefully will be able to replicate this matter on my side.
As for the “linkwithin.com” errors, they came from the “You might like these stories:” with three pix at the bottom of each post. I just installed that a few days ago. I’ll also check this out with IE this weekend.

One more thing, sometimes you page loads on but there’s this ‘error on page’ on the bottom left and when I click on it for details it says:

I don’t know what the means really, I was using IE8 browser by the way when this error occurred.

Ben, I am able to reply to an existing comment like this one but recently I had started a new comment thread for the Thai entry as well as Izakaya entries but after I click ‘submit’, it ‘appears’ to have been submitted but it never actually did. I would try again and the same thing happens?! Maybe it was just a fluke. I will try again today though.

Ben, I am having the same problem as Phil but I have the odd suspicion it might be something on my side (read: firewall settings)…

Out of curiosity, wasn’t Han Woo Ri open for lunch? I am will be having a dinner in the next couple of days and that place was selected because my (Korean) friend considers it the best Korean restaurant in town.
