Bibimbap Backyard Pop-Up

Overview

Melbourne’s favourite Korean food truck has found a permanent parking spot for the next three months. The crowdfunded Bibimbap truck has stopped rolling for the time being, and will operate at the quiet end of Punch Lane in the CBD for lunch until June.

Aptly named Bibimbap Backyard, the menu sticks to serving its namesake: bibimbap. The truck's signature rice bowls are served hawker-style, straight out of their four-wheeled, neon yellow kitchen. Patrons can choose from three varieties: beef marinated in bulgogi sauce, teriyaki chicken or silky tofu. The Korean signature dishes are served with mixed, seasonal vegetables and topped with lashings of sauce including the traditional chilli sauce. Drinks are a simple affair, with nashi pear juice as a clear standout.

Fitted out by local designers ZWEI Interiors & Architecture, Bibimbap Backyard’s design is reminiscent of a homely, Australian patio. Wheelbarrows filled with greenery, unpretentious parasols and summery deck chairs create a laid-back, cheerful space that’s set to fill up this autumn. The truck will be open from 11am till 3pm Monday to Friday until June. Get there on your lunch break.
