Excellent Woosamgyeop & Ssamcheban
2012-12-09 71 views
The newly opened Korean BBQ Restaurant located at the suburban mall Star Vista is well worth a detour from the city centre. The cheerful but unobtrusive crew and chic, unpretentious ambience makes it a nice place for a cosy meal with family and friends. We had a very enjoyable, hearty and wholesome meal at Bornga. We ordered the restaurant's signature dish WooSamGyeop (S$22++) - thinly sliced beef brisket that was lightly marinated and grilled to perfection at our table by a Chinese lady. Eat it

The newly opened Korean BBQ Restaurant located at the suburban mall Star Vista is well worth a detour from the city centre. The cheerful but unobtrusive crew and chic, unpretentious ambience makes it a nice place for a cosy meal with family and friends. We had a very enjoyable, hearty and wholesome meal at Bornga. We ordered the restaurant's signature dish WooSamGyeop (S$22++) - thinly sliced beef brisket that was lightly marinated and grilled to perfection at our table by a Chinese lady. Eat it on its own the savour the juices from the meat or dip it in the spicy tangy dipping sauce and wrap it with the fresh and crunchy lettuce leaves. The SamGyeopSal or pork belly (S$18++) was very tasty too without any greasy aftertaste. What impressed my dining companions and me was the freshness and quality of Bornga's ingredients, and the generous complimentary portions of their SsamCheBan - the long platter of assorted lettuce and vegetables supplied with the BBQ and their BanChan or side dishes (chilled kimchi soup, marinated shredded scallions and leeks, radish kimchi, blanched spinach and potato salad). The Bornga Ngyeongmyeon or chilled glass noodles(S$15++) and Haemul Pajeon or seafood pancake (S$22++) complemented the grilled meats without overwhelming our palates. Kimchi Jigae (S$15++) stew and Bibimbap (S$15++) were good but not outstanding; we ordered too much food for four of us; we had enough food to feed six adults with ample appetites. A thoughtful touch was the bowl of iced omija served to each diner at the end of our meal. The tea is brewed from dried berries indigenious to Korea and tastes like hawthorn. Its clean and refreshing taste was just what we needed after a hearty and satisfying meal that was very easy on the pocket too. The menu, though limited, would have been complete if Bornga adds BBQ chicken to its menu, to cater to diners who avoid red meat.
