Bamboo Bossam, Paranaque

Bamboo Bossam, Paranaque

Bamboo Bossam is a Korean restaurant located near BF Homes, along Aguirre Street. This restaurant has 2 private rooms that seems a bit small at first glance; however, when you go upstairs, it is very spacious. This restaurant’s menu is centered on home-cooked dishes such as Tofu Soup (P250). Even when you have already served this soup on the table, you’ll see that it’s still boiling! Moreover, the tofu’s refreshing flavor will counterbalance the spiciness.
