Have you ever wondered, if Korea and Mexico decided to shake hands and have some fun what would it look like? Well, you don't have to do a lot to find that out. Just a stroll from most of our workplaces and at the juncture of Sydney and Surry Hills is "Ko and Co". A niche restaurant, although based in a cubbyhole has a lot of character. A place where Korean BBQ gets married to Mexican Tacos.
We kicked off with the Ko and Co's house special "Yuzu Margarita". The imbalance between Tequila and Honey made the drink more sour than sweet, a bit more of honey could have done wonders. Nonetheless an aperitif drink to start of with! The second drink I tried was the "Black Raspberry Bramble". Gin and lemon juice, shaken and served with a Bokbunja float (Korean black raspberry wine). An interesting, twisted and a risky combination that pays off.
In terms of food, we lined up ourselves with almost everything on offer.
The Spicy Pork Belly Tacos was full of tang with the pork being crispy and beautifully cooked.
The Quesadilla, made up of flour tortilla, kimchi and three cheese filling was hot and spicy and enriched with tongue popping flavours.
The Burritos with kimchi fried rice and korean fried chicken was truly a Mexican and Korean fusion dish. The question is, do the flavours work? When the chicken is tried separately to the Burrito, it was succulent, the crispiness, the greasy and mouth-watering coverings made it delightful.
The Sliders have been the talk of the town and included a brioche bun filled with cabbage slaw, kimchi and mayo with beef short ribs. The bun was soft, dark, golden, had a flaky crust and was gelled well with the balanced mayo. The beef short ribs were good to taste, however some pieces were a bit chewy.
Ko and Co is a small bar with strong potential, so if you are craving for a Korean-Mexican fix, you know where to go.
