Following the successful debut of their flagship branch at The Star Vista, BORNGA Korean BBQ Restaurant has now made its foray into family mega-mall Vivocity, bringing the authentic Korean experience to shoppers there by way of a new spacious 130-seater with 3 seating areas, including one with a view of Sentosa.
To commemorate the opening of its second outlet, BORNGA has also introduced a number of new dishes to the menu, while maintaining the signature ones which have been a favorite with returning customers.
Mansinjang Samgyupsal $24 / 200g [new*]
The Yangnyum Dwaeji Galbi $33 / 250g [new*] stole my heart with its arresting caramelized sheen and succulent juiciness that made chewing this tender meat an absolute delight. And because it had already been marinated with a special house sauce prior to hitting the grill, the best way to eat the meat, is to simply pick it up with your chopsticks and eat it just the way it is. Heavenly!
Of course, a long tray of 10 varieties of fresh vegetables is also provided for diners to wrap their BBQ meats with.
A unique addition to the BORNGA menu is this Bornga Bulgogi - $45 (serves 2 to 3) [new*], a sumptuous bubbling beef hotpot that features beef fillet that has been marinated with BORNGA special sauce, fresh vegetables and glass noodles. A must try even if just for novelty sake.
Our favorite item of all, thee spicy pork slices in this Dwaeji Gohchujang Barbeque $36 [new*] are first grilled then stir-fried with spring onions and served on a hot plate. The result is a rush of seductive smoke from the plate which tickles your nose. There was a subtle undertone of woodsmoke, with a hint of caramelized sugar woven in with every bite. The highlight had to be those onions that were charred till gloriously sweet. An overall harmonious combination which coated the tongue with a complexity of flavors. We scrapped this clean, down to the last onion leaf.
BORNGA is a great place to consider when you next have a craving for Korean BBQ. And one thing is for sure, you will not come out smelling like the barbequed meats because of the installation of the new extendable exhaust which absorbs all those unpleasant fumes.
