Dining in the Next Normal: Enjoy a Sumptuous Korean BBQ Feast at Home with Korea's Number One BBQ, Chung Choon Yeon Ga Unlimited Korean BBQ

Food deliveries are now part of the culinary mainstream in the new normal offering diners a whole new world of infinite dining possibilities at home...including authentic Korean style samgyupsal.

Dining at home becomes the new normal as the threat of the viral pandemic continues to linger. But our love affair with Korean samgyupsal, and practically anything Korean really, continues to grow stronger despite the quarantine. Korea's number one BBQ restaurant, Chung Choon Yeon Ga or simply CCYG, reopens to serve its mouth-watering Korean BBQ selections at Il Terrazo in Quezon City. But if you prefer to dine at home, CCYG now delivers their sumptuous array of pork and beef BBQ to your doorstep, complete with all the trimmings and tasty side dishes...   

The name Chung Choon Yeon Ga is literally translated as "young sweet love," and clearly captures our on-going love affair with the widely popular "all-you-can-eat"  unlimited Korean BBQ samgyupsal phenomenon. Now, CCYG lets you take the experience home to your dining table...

 

At Chung Choon Yeon Ga's Il Terrazo Quezon City branch, all the safety protocols are in place with barriers installed on tables (maximum of two per table) to ensure a safe dining experience. That's good news for lovers of unlimited Korean samgyupsal craving for authentic Korean BBQ during the quarantine. At only P 499 per person, diners can enjoy ten savory varieties of premium pork and beef along with traditional sides in a sumptuous all-you-can-eat feast at CCYG for an unbeatable value-packed option. Sure, there are countless Korean samgyupsal joints around the metro but CCYG sets the bar for both quality and value with its premium selection of pork and beef. And it's a brand straight out of Korea, you just can't get more authentic than that. Being Korea's number one BBQ chain of restaurants sets it apart from the rest. 

The enduring popularity of unlimited Korean samgyupsal among local diners is evident with the growing number of bbq joints in every conceivable corner of the metro. And why not. You just can't beat the quality and value for money combo that guarantees a satisfying and filling experience each time you visit. The appeal of the all-you-can-eat feature made Korean samgyupsal a part of the culinary mainstream, and its popularity shows no signs of waning. At CCYG, diners can have all ten premium pork and beef offerings from Daepae Samgyupsal Pork, Chung Choon Samgyupsal Pork, Doenjang Pork, Gochujang Pork and Galbi Seasoning Pork to Beef Belly, Galbi Seasoning Beef Belly, Doenjang Beef Belly, Beef Bulgogi and Gochujang Beef Bulgogi. And you can enjoy seconds. And thirds. 

Each cut is distinct from the other, offering unique flavors from the different spice blends and seasonings. At CCYG, you can grill your selection of pork and beef to your desired doneness and enjoy as much as you want. The quality of the pork and beef are consistent with every additional order, guided by the standards set by Chung Choon Yeon Ga Korea. 

Fresh from the table-top grill, one can enjoy the pure, clean flavors of the pork and beef complemented by the Korean spices and seasonings. It's really all about the pork and beef at CCYG, just the way a real Korean samgyupsal joint should be. Quality, authenticity and value combine for an offer that's hard to beat. 

I've enjoyed all of CCYG's pork and beef offerings, but it's the Beef Belly that stands out for me with its tender and savory richness. Available in galbi or doenjang seasoning or simply with salt, the beef belly is just one of many reasons to visit CCYG or order a Samgyup Set to transform your home dining experience. Each bite just melts in your mouth draping your palate with bold, beefy notes with just a whisper of smokiness from the grill. 

At CCYG, you can't help but notice the specially-designed table-top grill with compartments filled with a richly seasoned tamago-like egg mixture and another with Mozzarella Cream Cheese which serve as dipping sauces along with the more traditional options at your table. This is one more unique innovative feature that differentiates CCYG from other samgyupsal joints. One can enjoy that extra layer of richness when dipping your Korean BBQ in these specialty sauces. 

Then, there's CCYG's Rice Balls. Drizzled with sesame oil and topped with seaweed, the sticky rice is rolled and shaped into balls adding yet another interactive dimension to your dining experience at CCYG. Finish it off with a light sear on your table-top grill along with your assortment of pork and beef...

 

...infusing it with even more flavors. Once you get the hang of it, you can then add even more rice balls on the grill to give it a light and delicate crisp layer on the crust. That's just a whole lot better than plain steamed white rice, don't you think? 

CCYG also offers their own spin on pizza with their Jeon (P 100), a tasty appetizer before your samgyupsal meal. The Bulgogi Jeon brings sweet savory notes from the toppings followed by the soft and chewy texture of the crust. Other jeon variants include the Kimchi (P 100) and Seafood (P 100). From rice balls to the jeon, CCYG just isn't done yet with their flavorful surprises...

...and it's time to grill. The sizzle, fragrant aroma and rich flavors were what you missed during the quarantine, and CCYG indulges your samgyupsal cravings the minute you fire up your table-top grill. In minutes, your bbq is ready so you can begin dipping and wrapping it all up in lettuce topped with your favorite condiments.

There's just nothing quite like grilling your food right on your table. But CCYG lets you replicate the samgyupsal experience at home...

The new normal forced many of us to adapt and change, and industries everywhere are rethinking business models in this time of transformation. New practices are tweaked into existing systems to remain relevant with the times, and for restaurants, that means tapping into emerging consumer habits like the food delivery culture and dining at home. We can no longer go back to the way we normally go about our daily routine, at least not for this year. Though nothing beats the restaurant dine-in experience, current realities prevent us from enjoying this practice. But CCYG reconnects with its loyal diners by offering food deliveries for dining at home. Revenues for food deliveries may not match the usual dine-in business of restaurants, but that's the new normal. With CCYG, it's easy to recreate the samgyupsal experience at home, all you need is one quick phone call or DM on FB and IG. CCYG offers four lavish Samgyup Sets ranging in price from P 599 to P 2,699 good for 2-3 persons all the way to 8-10 persons with all the sides and sauces for an authentic samgyupsal feast at home.

A closer look at the Samgyup Sets reveals the variety of all-inclusive meals complete with sauces and side dishes that can easily be customized to fit your needs and budget. Whether it's a samgyupsal feast at home for 2-3 or 8-10, CCYG has the ideal Samgyup Set.   

And if you're looking for tasty extras to add to your samgyupsal feast at home, CCYG offers their specialty Korean-style jeon in Kimchi, Bulgogi and Seafood variants. Almost like a pizza, it's the perfect starter to any samgyupsal meal with its bold flavors. Each Samgyup Set by CCYG already includes a selection of side dishes but you may include additional servings of Kimchi, Tteok-bokki, Japchae and Rice Balls. The a la carte menu also includes comforting stews like Budae Jjigae, Kimchi Jjigae and Beef Doenjang Jjigae as well as Big Egg Rolls, Bibimbop, Ramyun and Chapaghetti for pasta with a cool Korean twist. Each Samgyup Set by CCYG allows you to customize your own Korean BBQ feast at home with sumptuous add-ons.  

The heart of any Korean BBQ restaurant is their savory offerings of tender, thinly-sliced pork and beef, and CCYG has an impressive list. Ten varieties of premium pork and beef make up the authentic samgyupsal feast at CCYG, each marinated and seasoned with Korean spices. If you prefer to go all-out with pork and beef, you can also order the premium meats individually in 500g or 1kg packs with prices ranging from P 300 to P 600. 

For even more variety and value, CCYG also offers hearty Topping Bowls, a complete meal with rice topped with an assortment of Korean BBQ...

...and the sumptuous Lunch Box menu for a no-fuss yet satisfying meal. All orders can be picked up at CCYG for take-out or conveniently delivered via GrabFood, FoodPanda, LalaFood. You may also simply call or PM Chung Choon Yeon Ga's Il Terrazo Quezon City branch directly. 

Have you tried Korean ramen? CCYG's Ramyun (P 150) is a lighter yet equally flavorful version with the spicy kick of kimchi topped with egg and spring onions that's perfect for cloudy quarantine afternoons. The noodles are soft and springy in texture, with the egg adding its richness to balance the heat. And yes, the Ramyun by CCYG is also available for delivery or pick-up. 

A few more sips and the soothing heat kicks in, lingering long after the first bite to open up the palate for the main samgyupsal course...

At home, I prepared the Set 1 Samgyup Set (P 599 good for 2-3) with three kinds of pork, two servings of sticky rice balls, four dipping sauces plus Mozzarella Cream Cheese with Special Side Dishes like Tteok-bokki and Japchae and sides of Kimchi, Fried Anchovy, Fishcakes and garden-fresh and crisp Lettuce.

 

The Samgyup Set 1 comes with three choices of pork, and the specialty Chung Soon Samgyupsal and flavorful Gochujang Pork are ready to grill from the pack...

...along with the Galbi Seasoning Pork. Packed and sealed in plastic containers, CCYG conforms with the latest health and safety guidelines to ensure you enjoy an authentic Korean BBQ experience at home without the worry. 

It's not an authentic Korean feast without the traditional banchan or side dishes, and each Samgyup Set includes both special side dishes like Japchae and Tteok-bokki as well as popular sides like Kimchi, Fish Cakes and other vegetables such as Marble Potatoes draped in creamy butter. 

You'll want an extra order of Kimchi (P 100-200g/P 200-500g) to pair with your Korean BBQ. The Samgyup Set also includes two servings of Rice Balls but you can have an extra order (P 100) for good measure. Now all you need to do is shape your rice balls for the home grill. 

Imported directly from CCYG Korea, the traditional and authentic Kimchi brings fresh and clean flavors to the palate with its distinctive sharp and pungent notes. To maintain consistent quality standards, many of the ingredients and spices are sourced from Korea. It's this commitment to quality that makes dining at CCYG and their food deliveries for dining at home that differentiates the brand from other Korean BBQ joints.

Wrap your savory Korean BBQ with garden-fresh and crisp lettuce, tediously cleaned and conveniently packed for you. The quality and freshness of the ingredients become evident with that very first bite...

...and home dining is transformed with CCYG's Samgyup Sets. Fresh off the home grill, your selection of Korean Pork BBQ like melt-in-your-mouth Galbi Seasoning Pork...

...slabs of fork-tender Chung Choon Samgyupsal...

...and the sweet and mildly sharp flavors of Gochujang Pork are undoubtedly the highlights of your authentic Korean BBQ meal at home... 

...supported by an able cast of tasty sides including banchan and the sticky Rice Balls to complete your sumptuous home dining experience. CCYG's Samgyup Sets brightens up any dining table adding a festive vibe to home dining. It's one of those simple pleasures that brings comforting good vibes, something we all need in these trying times. 

A drizzle of CCYG's specialty Mozzarella Cream Cheese adds an indulgent finish to your lettuce wrap along with the kimchi. Your customized Korean BBQ lettuce wrap allows you to build layers of flavors enjoyed in one bite. Korean cuisine is about freshness and quality ingredients, and CCYG sets the bar high with its savory specialty offerings.

Premium pork and beef, marinated and seasoned with authentic Korean spices, makes or breaks your Korean BBQ dining experience. And CCYG scores high on both quality and value. Dine in or take-out and delivery, CCYG satisfies your samgyupsal cravings.

And there's more. CCYG now adds chicken to their list of unlimited premium pork and beef bbq in three savory flavors, Honey Galbi Chicken, Salt Grilled Chicken and Gochujang Chicken for dine-in or take-out and delivery for even more options and value.

The quarantine will continue to change and transform the way we live, but we can still enjoy comforting flavors like authentic Korean BBQ for dine-in, take-out and delivery. Nothing can replace the restaurant dine-in experience, but dining at home can still be special and memorable in the new normal. Just give CCYG a call...
