Korean food gets hilarious in Macao

April 15, 2017
Top South Korean musical comedy “Bibap”, with its irresistible mix of beatbox, b-boying, hip-hop and street moves, has all the customers dancing at the Parisian Theatre in Macao until April 23.
The dynamic show revolves around a wild cooking competition between two masters, Green Chef and Red Chef, at a restaurant called Bibap. Six other hyperactive performers chime in with a-cappella singing, incredible dancing and a lot of other acrobatics.
​
“Bibap” celebrates bibimbap – the unofficial national dish of spicy rice, vegetables and beef – in a bid to promote Korean food culture worldwide.
​
“We’re honoured to perform at this amazing venue and look forward to bringing a delicious taste of Korean culture to Macao,” says director Choi Chul-ki. “Bibimbap brings together different ingredients to create a wonderful blend, and we also bring together a-cappella, martial arts, breakdance, beat box and humour in a harmonious way.”
​
Two performers specialising in beatboxing brilliantly mimic the different sounds of the kitchen, including cutting up ingredients, frying vegetables and meat and washing dishes.
​
Audience members get to vote on their favourite dishes, with either Green Chef or Red Chef winning the round. The four rounds see sushi, pizza, noodles and finally bibimbap prepared.
​
Tickets cost 180 to 480 patacas (Bt780 to Bt2,075) at www.CotaiTicketing.com.
