The word Bulgogi means “fire meat” in Korean and is believed to have originated from Goguryeo. Initially it was called maekjeok where beef is grilled in a skewer similar to the Filipino style barbecue. Then it was called neobiani meaning “thinly spread” meat during the Joseon Dynasty and it was usually served to the wealthy and noble people.

Now Bulgogi is served in most Korean restaurants and here in New Zealand most of these type of restaurants are very affordable and what’s best they are offered in buffets.
