It’s 2022, and the Korean food boom in Manila has not died down. Instead, it’s stronger than ever, and you can order everything from Korean fried chicken, to Korean hotdogs, to Korean barbeque everywhere. It’s invading our grocery shelves too, in the form of Highlands Gold Korean-Style BBQ Corned Beef.
The flavor is one of two new delicious variants they’ve just released, including the spiced Black Pepper Corned Beef, and is bound to wind up in your grocery cart. To take it just a little bit further, we’ve made a corned beef bibimbap breakfast bowl with it that would be great for breakfast.
