KOR Street Food is a new fast food restaurant in Market Mall's food court.
They serve various popular Korean foods, including "kordogs" (an impressive Korean variation of corndogs with cheese/sausage/chewy-rice inside), mandoo/mandu (Korean dumplings), and of course bibimbap - a bowl of rice with assorted meats, vegetables, and sauces. It seems like the K-wave expanded from K-pop and K-dramas into K-food (delicious).
As I pondered their menu, my eyes slowly widened after gazing upon the words "choose vegetables [no limit]". Gone were the days of stressfully considering each vegetable combination - finally, I could have them all. This cemented my choice of ordering the "make your own bibimbap".

Not only was my choice of vegetables limitless, but I felt exhilarated at the fact that if I were a paragon of health, I could select a base of spring mixed greens rather than the all-too-standard carbohydrates that regularly plague fast-food menus. Alas, since I am not a paragon of health, I decided to strike a balance and choose brown rice as my base (a fine offering indeed).
As for the other steps, I chose bulgogi and gochujang sauce. It goes without saying that I requested all the vegetables in my bibimbap :)

The cup/bowl of bibimbap was a bit smaller than I expected, but still of a decent size (unfortunately I didn't get a side photo of it). Post-mixing, each bite was quite pleasant with the freshness and crunch of vegetables as well as some egg yolk and nicely cooked bulgogi beef. After consuming about half of the food, the spiciness of the gochujang caught up with me and I had to slow down. As someone with an average (or below) spice tolerance, I can say that you should not be concerned about the spice level unless you have difficulty handling normal amounts of spiciness (in which case you can choose a different sauce).
