Recently Seoul Garden HotPot has opened, taken over the space of sister restaurant Breeks. From western food, it now serves Korean hotpot, BBQ and rice dishes. Although the menu looks limited, the business seems not bad based on the crowd on weekday nights.Ginseng Chicken ($17.90++, Member's Price $15.80++)Served with pickles and plain rice.The soup was very rich and flavourful which we finished all till the last drop.

The soup was very rich and flavourful which we finished all till the last drop. The chicken was tender and stuffed with rice, ginseng, garlic, and jujube. The ginseng would be better had it been cooked longer. Quite hard to bite. Premium Seafood HotPot ($16.90++, Member's Price $14.80++)
Served with pickles and plain rice. Topup $1++ to upgrade the plain rice to Kimgaru rice. The seaweed flavour was quite tasty itself.
Available in Kimchi and Miso soup bases, we selected miso one. Quite rich and tasty. The soup was filled with slices of abalone, prawns, clams, golden mushrooms, glass noodles and leek. Marinated Sliced Chicken HotPot ($12.90, MP $11.40)
Served with pickles and rice.
Available in Kimchi and Miso soup bases, we selected miso one. Quite rich and tasty. Prawn Omelette Kimgaru Bap ($13.90, MP $12.20)
Served with pickles.
Asked the staff to replace the kimchi with more seaweed and spinach. They really gave a mountain of it. I like that the bean paste sauce was served separately so that everyone can adjust to personal preferance. Korean Stir-fried Seafood Glass Noodle ($11.90)
Well fried, although mother felt it was a bit too salty. Deep-fried Wing Sticks ($5.90++)
The chicken looked not bad but I felt it not crispy and juicy enough. Deep-fried Fish Skin ($5.90++)
The worst dish of the meal turned out to be this. Quite crispy but left a oily feel. Cinnamon Tea ($3.30++)
The only free flow drink on the menu, available in both hot and cold version. Mother had the hot version which was pretty hot. Strong in cinnamon taste with a couple of jujube on top. The right drink to have on a cold day. Santa Cinnamon Cane ($6.90++)
A Christmas special drink. It tastes creamy with slight cinnamon flavour in it.
Overall the food was not bad. Staffs were quite friendly. Although the place was packed, it was still easy to get the staffs' attention
