What we ordered at Like Like: kimchi bacon pilaf and beef bulgogi double cheese panini

This time at Like Like Ilsan Juyeop Branch we ordered the Kimchi Bacon Pilaf (₩12,400) and the Beef Bulgogi Double Cheese Panini (₩13,200).

How does the kimchi bacon pilaf (₩12,400) taste?

The kimchi bacon pilaf is made with well-sautéed, tangy kimchi and bacon. You could also call it kimchi fried rice, right, haha?

Bacon, gim (seaweed), and egg come as separate toppings, so you can mix them in or add them on separately as you like, haha. It's not spicy at all — very clean and light-tasting. I'd recommend this one for anyone craving Korean food at a brunch café gathering, haha.

Beef bulgogi double cheese panini (₩13,200) and its cheese pull

The beef bulgogi double cheese panini is filled with juicy bulgogi and cheese inside crispy bread.

The combo of savory bulgogi and rich melted cheese — I think this is a dish nobody could dislike, haha.

Look at that cheese pull, haha haha.

Light yet savory and salty — I really enjoyed it, haha.

The jalapeños that came with it paired so well, haha. This dish would go great with coffee or orange juice too, haha.
