The Sa-Jang-Nim (Supervisor) showed us to our table and the waitress laid the pan-chan. My friend who is having Korean food for the first time widened his eyes. Variety over quantity.
The mustard gluey bowl was pumpkin soup. Sweet and thick. Red bean paste was added. Could well be a dessert rather than an opening.
Honeycomb Herb Pork Belly @$28We had the marinated chicken ($22) as well. I realised pork and beef taste best for any Korean BBQ. Chicken on the other hand loses out a fair bit. I felt it is because of the lack of fat components in the meat. The fats for chicken is mostly on the underneath layer of the skin whereas pork and beef has fats laid in between their meat, like pork belly and marbled beef.
Seafood Pancake @$20Capsium was added. I seldom see capsium in seafood pancakes. It's always just leeks. I wouldn't rate the pancake very nice because it was greasy and when I picked up a piece, it was filmsy. Only the sides were with a tad of crispiness.
Ginseng Chicken Soup @$22A tad bland, not too sure if it was supposed to be so. The soup base was cloudy, a result of the glutinous rice that was stuffed into the chicken. Multi-grains were added which made the soup seemed nutritious.
Total bill worked out to be $114+ for 3 pax. We didn't manage to finish all the food because there were too much food. Food was decent. Because of the BBQ, the indoor air wasn't very well-ventilated. Air-con seemed to be not working or not functioning at appropriate temperature. We could feel the difference when we stepped out of the restaurant. Saw a friend who was in queue and understand from her that even though a reservation was made earlier, they did not have a table for her when she arrived. She ended up waiting for 20 mins, equivalent to not making any reservations.
