In 2014, bibigo London SOHO store was selected into the Michelin Guide published by Michelin, the world's oldest authoritative appraisal organization in the food and beverage industry. Based on Korean restaurants, bibigo also produces Korean condiments and instant food products, and in 2016, it was the largest seller in the Korean market and the largest in the U.S. market, and plans to increase sales to 1 trillion won by 2020.
After establishing three factories in the United States, the brand plans to add factories in China, Vietnam, Russia and other countries, and spent millions of dollars to purchase automated dumpling production machines to replace the original labor-intensive production, and invested the equipment in factories around the world, with a total investment of more than hundreds of billions of won.
Bibigo's 100-tonne-a-day dumpling factory requires only a few workers to check the machines to ensure smooth operation and pick out defective vegetables from the conveyor belt. The production of dumplings is completed by fully automated machines, after a series of cutting, the same size of dumpling skin, after being loaded with filling, gradually put into the mold machine to make a half-moon shape, the formed dumplings and then into the freezing area to freeze.
Bibigo's dumplings resemble lucky bags and are on the large side. The biggest difference between bibigo and similar brands is that bibigo's dumplings are pre-steamed and then quick-frozen and bagged, and steaming, pan-frying and boiling are recommended. The dumpling skin is thin and elastic, and the entrance is salty and fragrant. Add more vermicelli to the filling. When bibigo's dumplings were first launched, they were almost twice the size of quick-frozen dumplings from brands such as Sanquan and Synear, but now the size of the dumplings is gradually shrinking, which has been criticized by many consumers.
Bibigo's signature product is the King Dumpling, which comes in 5 flavours. Among them, the most anticipated is the Korean-style kimchi, the filling of the dumplings is cut into pieces, unlike the meat granularity of the boat song, the bibigo dumplings are shredded with minced meat, and the kimchi is also very finely sliced, and the taste of the kimchi is not too strong to hide the umami of the pork. The filling of the mushroom three fresh dumplings is similar to a puree, and the finely chopped mushrooms and fungus can be seen with the naked eye, which is salty and palatable. The specifications and prices of the two dumplings are the same, with each bag of 400g priced at 19.9 yuan.
If you like steamed dumplings, you can try the Corn Pork King Dumplings, which have Q-bomb dumpling wrappers with a plump and sweet filling. In contrast, cabbage pork king dumplings are more suitable for boiling, and the juice will come out when you bite into it, but the taste is lighter, and heavy foodies can be paired with condiments such as garlic sauce. The filling of fresh vegetable pork dumplings contains vermicelli and leeks, which can be made into fried dumplings crispy and delicious, and paired with beer when chasing dramas, which can be both full and very delicious. The above 3 Wang dumplings are also 400g per bag, priced at 19.9 yuan.
