Came by this new SAFRA clubhouse to recce for some food place when i chance upon this new Korean BBQ concept by JP pepperdine (the same folks behing jack's place, brewbaker etc). Its smacked right between Hoshigaoga and Astons at the 1st level, enter the glass door beside new zealand ice cream. The 1st impression of the place was pretty good, spacious, nice deco, several chimneys like exhaust seen, lcd tvs playing kpop. There were 4 tables eating bbq food but fortunately the place is well exhaus
Wanted to try their bbq set lunch at $12.80++ but its applicable to minimum 2 pax per set so i settled for the individual set lunch instead. No bbq option for this but i spotted something i like - kimchi pork belly stew with rice. Though not a fan of kimchi but i do like kimchi flavored soup. The set lunch is applicable from 11am - 230pm. It also comes with free buffet of kimchi and korean side dishes. Just a small selection i must say compared to what most other korean bbq restaurants offer. But i do like the carrot slices, lotus root, lady finger and fresh green lettuce. Was quite disappointed by the small bowl of stew that was served but fortunately the taste made up for it. In it you find mixed vegetables, toufu and the main ingredient pork belly. The sour soup base certainly ensures that i finish my bowl of rice with it! Its not too bad actually eating the rice with the kimchi soup and having the korean sides dishes as accompanying dishes. My total bill was $10.50, including the 10% safra card discount. 10% svc charge and 7% GST are inclusive as well.
If i have to gripe, it would be about not serving complimentary ice water and maybe to have more sociable staff who will bother to check if its your 1st visit and if you would require any recommendations etc.
