Had always wanted to try out this little Korean bistro in the heart of the city and finally had the chance to when we bought the Groupon vouchers as a trial.

After our orders were taken, the waitress immediately served up the trio of side dishes- Beans, Kimchi & Juipo (refillable!). I thought the taste rather mediocre (have tasted better elsewhere) but my hubby finished them all and asked for more - he must have been pretty hungry!
Our orders of Japchae/ Kimchi Pancake/ Army Stew followed shortly. The Japchae is a must-order - the noodles are cooked al dente and are totally infused with the right amount of flavour, beautifully complemented by shredded carrots, onions, scallions and black fungus. The Kimchi Pancake is so-so, savoury and peppered with seafood bits. The Army Stew was the highlight - a spicy and savoury stew brimming with luncheon meat, hotdog, tofu, rice cake and cabbages. You must order the optional noodles!! It's absolutely Korean kimchi ramen heaven with the noodles soaking up all the flavours in the hotpot!
All in all, it was a nice first experience, but the food costs a bit more than we felt it was worth (if not for the Groupons)... we would probably still end up at our favourite Korean haunt in the West for any cravings in this cuisine
