No, don’t get carried away, I know there are lots of good looking barbie dolls in Korea, but we are not talking that. We are talking Korean BBQs 🙂
Like the Aussies, Koreans love their barbies.
The key differences are Aussie barbies are very casual do-it-yourself style, with lightly marinated big chunks of meat and cooked outdoors in the open. As is Aussie tradition, no barbie can be without that big pint of icy cold beer!

In contrast, Korean barbies are mainly indoor activities. Delicate, thin slices of meat, or slightly more chunky ribs are marinated in heavy sauce – some with that extra dash of spice! And there will be fresh, crisp vegetables aplenty that can be eaten on its own with Ssamjang soya bean sauce or as wraps for the chargrilled, full flavoured, hot barbecued Korean beef, pork or chicken. And of course, what is Korean barbie without the social rounds of soju distilled rice liquor?
Park Sihoo-ssi has a favorite Korean barbie in his hometown, Buyeo. Room No 9 in the restaurant has been designated as Park Sihoo-ssi’s room. And I had the pleasure of dining in this very special room on my last trip to Park Sihoo-ssi’s hometown!
Korean barbies seem to be the in-thing when it comes to the celebratory get-together to wrap up the filming of a drama or a movie. Well at least what I have seen of Park Sihoo-ssi’s dramas and movies. Maybe it is the informality of the barbie and that the cooking of the food itself takes a while, giving the cast and crew time to socialise, to re-live fond memories and to solidify friendships.
Remember that big celebration feast after the wrap up of Cheongdamdong Alice when the Korean fans graciously invited Park Sihoo-ssi and the cast and crew to a Korean barbie fiesta? And then in Jeju when Park Sihoo-ssi completed the Jeju leg of the filming for “Love After Love”, the Korean fans did it again with a scrumptious meal of the island’s delicacy – Jeju black pork.

We had the same Jeju black pork barbie at a restaurant just across from the one Park Sihoo-ssi had his. And we can attest that the Koreans sure know how to enjoy their meat! Deliciously grilled over a nice charcoal fire that seals in the succulent goodness of fresh cut meat!
Korean barbies are yummilicious! And it is no wonder Park Sihoo-ssi simply loves his Korean barbies!
施厚君的韩国芭比
不要得意忘形，我知道韩国有很多漂亮的芭比娃娃，但我不是在讲那类型的芭比。我是指韩国烧烤芭比:)
像澳大利亚人，韩国人深爱他们的烧烤。
关键的区别是澳洲的芭比的风格是很随意的，轻轻腌过的大肉块，通常是在户外烧烤。澳洲传统的芭比一定少不了每人手上抱着一大瓶冰冷的啤酒搭配美味的烤肉！
相比之下，韩国的芭比主要是室内活动。细腻，薄片的肉片，或稍微短胖排骨用重酱腌制- 加上一些香料冲激！而且还会有新鲜，脆绿的蔬菜，单搭配Ssamjang黄豆酱即可食用，或用来包炭火味，香喷喷的热烤肉片。当然，作为社交活动，韩国烧酒是少不了啦！
施厚君在他的家乡扶余有一家他特喜欢的韩国芭比烧烤店。那里的9号客房已被指定为施厚君的客房。很幸运，上回去施厚君的故乡时，特地去了那家烤肉店，并点定9号客房 :)！
韩国芭比似乎是非常受欢迎的，尤其是一部戏剧或电影拍摄完，通常会有烤肉庆功宴。嗯，至少我看到的施厚君的电视剧和电影就是这样。也许烧烤芭比是比较随意非正式，食物本身的烹饪需要一段时间，这给演员和工作人员时间去应酬，重温美好的回忆和巩固友谊。

记得”清潭洞爱丽丝“拍完后，韩国厚粉邀请施厚君，演员和剧组工作人员到韩国芭比享受烤肉盛宴。然后在济州岛时，施厚君拍摄的“思念爱”在济州完工后，韩饭再次邀请他和工作人员享受济州岛珍馐美味的黑猪肉烧烤晚宴。
我们也在济州岛的一家烤肉餐厅品尝了济州岛黑猪肉，就在施厚君去的那家的对面。我们可以认证，韩国人肯定知道如何享受烤肉滋味！新鲜的一块肉，在炭火慢烤之下，密封了它那鲜美多汁的味道！
韩国芭比实在是美味！难怪施厚君特爱韩国芭比烧烤！

“Park Sihoo-ssi must love his Korean barbies!”. But who doesn’t? I like mostly the indoors K. barbies made by the table companions as they prefer, more crispy or more soft, more spicy or not and with many vegetables. And all the culinary fests after shooting a drama, or a movie become an unforgetable event for all the crew members. And to PSH’s greatest peasure that he completed a good job! As I hope to happen with his new drama “NH”.
