We went to the popular Korean Restaurant in Tanjong Pagar. Their Korean BBQ buffet is highly popular but it is only available for for dinner. We came with the intention to have Ala cart BBQ, but it requires us to order 2 portions of the same type of meat before they will open the grill. There was only 2 of us which is too much to order with another main dishes. So we ended up ordering their Lunch Special.
The Lunch Special was placed at the back of the menu and most items is priced at a affordable price of $10 ++
The place is simply decorated with tables and chairs. The table has built in grilled for BBQ.
When we were seated, a lady place a cold bottle of mineral water and 1 can of lemon tea which we did not order. She said it was free drinks. We decided on the lunch special for
Sides DishesWe were served with 6 sides dishes. I liked most of the taste and texture of the sides dishes especially the mini potato and egg plants.
Crispy SeaweedI like the crispy seaweed that add a crunchy texture to my plain rice.
Soya Glace Mini PotatoThe mini potato is cooked with the skin and has a glossy dark sweet glace on it with a nice soft bite.
Free Sides Dishes
Spicy Egg PlantThe Egg Plant was fried with tiny shrimp & slightly spicy and the texture was just right.
[
b]Spicy Bean Curd PuffThe sliced Bean Curd Puff was coated with some chilli powder and it was spicy.
Fish CakeThe sliced fish cake is thin and different from our local version. It cooked in a sweet gravy.
Cabbage KimchiThe kimchi was spicy and sour and well fermented and is very appertising with steaming hot rice.
Saba & Pork Set Both sets came with bowl of rice served in their traditional stainless steel bowl with cover.
We get half a Saba fish which was fried crispy on the skin and still moist inside.
Saba & Grilled Porks
The Pork Set served on a hotplate look spicy with the orange color sauce but for me it is not very spicy. The portion is decent for 1 person or 2 persons sharing if you order other set as well. The only complaint is that the pork was sliced too thick, it would have been better if the pork is thinly sliced.
Overall the food is tasty especially the free sides dishes and value for money as it comes with free drink. At $10++ per head in air-con comfort, it is value for money.
Service We were served the bill just before 2pm even though I have not finished eating and did not asked for the bill. I paid thinking the cashier wants to closed the account. Then someone wanted to clear the table even though I was still eating. We still had a almost full hotplate of pork and my rice bowl was not empty. The staffs should be reminded with better service.
