"iMåne CupBap", derives its name from the combination of two elements:
'이모 imå (Auntie; Moster)' and '컵밥 (Cupbap; Ris koppen).' In Korean culture, '이모 (Auntie; Moster)' is a term commonly used to affectionately refer to one's mother's younger sister. It evokes feelings of warmth, familial love, and homemade dishes prepared with care and affection. By incorporating '이모 (Auntie; Moster)' into our restaurant's name, we aim to create an inviting atmosphere where guests feel like they're being warmly welcomed into a family member's home, with delicious homemade food waiting for them.
'컵밥 (Cupbap)' which means "Food in a cup with rice and side dishes" represents a convenient and popular meal choice in Korean cuisine. It consists of rice and various toppings layered neatly inside a cup, allowing for easy and quick consumption. Typically, the cup is filled with rice and topped with vegetables, eggs, meat, or seafood, providing a balanced and flavorful meal in one container. This convenient format has made '컵밥 (Cupbap)' a favorite among busy individuals and a go-to option for meals on the go or during travel.
Considering the practicality and popularity of '컵밥 (Cupbap)', we decided to specialize in serving bibimbap, a traditional Korean dish, in cup form. Bibimbap, with its vibrant mix of flavors and textures, is perfectly suited for the '컵밥 (Cupbap)' format. Therefore, '이모네 컵밥 (Auntie's Cupbap/Mosters Cupbap)' offers a unique dining experience where guests can enjoy the rich tradition of bibimbap in a convenient and modern way.
In summary, 'iMåne Cupbap' combines the warmth of homemade dishes associated with the term 'Auntie' and the convenience of Cupbap, providing guests with a delightful fusion of tradition and innovation in every bite.
