Papaghetti

The origins of this curious fusion cuisine seem to be hazy (Toowoomba pasta, for example, is a very popular pasta in Korea, and may derive from an Outback Steakhouse dish), but wherever it came from, we’re glad it exists. At Papaghetti, there is obviously spaghetti: creamy, and a little spicy. For some reason, you can also get it with schnitzel. The fusion extends to Papaghetti’s treatment of tteokbokki, as well as Korean twists on Hamburg steak and pilaf. (If you are offended by the sound of these culinary transgressions but your friends have dragged you here, there are also options for more straightforward Korean cuisine, like the ginseng chicken soup — though it comes with conchiglie pasta). It’s all really tasty — and fun.
