However that was probably a good thing, because this smart newly-opened place (formerly a tau sar peah place) was quite impressive. Partly new broom and all that I'm sure, but the waiters were very keen to please, and service was prompt and friendly. I think parking may become a problem in the evening, as it's along the busy main road, but it wasn't today.
I'm not a real fan of Korean food if I'm honest; all that kimchi is a bit much for me; and most dishes seem to include it. However, once in a while it does make a change from the same old, same old, and we were quite impressed with the food. It was tasty and there were plenty of side dishes and condiments accompanying the Pork and Chicken BBQ including .... kimchi, but of course.
It's rather like eating a form of spring roll except there's no wrapper ... and no bangkwang ... but, as the friendly chef showed us, you get a piece of fresh lettuce leaf, put in a piece of barbequed meat, a piece of garlic dipped in sesame oil and salt mix, a dab of chilli paste and their spring onion salad of sorts. Then you fold it up and munch on it. Quite a nice way of combining protein with fresh vegetables.
We left quite stuffed to the gills, as you can see from the empty plates. I'm not sure how pricey it was as it was, after all, a birthday treat!
My only problem with BBQ a table is that no matter how good the extractor fan is (and this was not bad), one still gets remnants of smoke and grease on one's hair and clothes. But the good thing was the chef cooked the food for us, so at least we were spared the bulk of it.
ROLL ON next birthday ... I quite like this being spoilt lark ... But come to think of it maybe not cos it means ANOTHER YEAR OLDER!!!
