Front view of the place
As you can see at the entrance there's quite a number of flower baskets to congratulate the opening of the shop. When we stepped inside, we find the place having quite a good turnout (probably due to it's new too).
After settling down, we were handed the menus and served with some water and cold tea. The first few pages of the menu are all about BBQ meat choices, then followed by ala carte dishes. They didn't seem to have any dinner sets to choose from. Being a newbie with Korean food, we asked for recommendations from the waiter.
At this time, I realized that all the patrons are Koreans, and the staffs are all Koreans too. The staff that serves us had some trouble making recommendations to us, so we just browse through the menu and choose what sounds good. We asked the waiter how big are the dishes and from his description it seems like the portion should be ok for one person. In the end we settled with Jea Yuk Bok Eum and O Jing E Bok Eum (some octopus dish and some pork dish).
They started serving us with those side dishes that's famous in Korean restaurants. By the time the first dish came, we're already regretting because the portion is quite big. Should not have ordered 2 dishes just now. Then we hoped the second dish would not be as big, but not surprisingly, it's just as big. LOL.
As we're working our way over the food, the chef actually dropped by our table and gave us a dish of some kind of Korean pancake, FOC.
Aftermath :P
Forgotten to take pictures of the food, only managed to take a shot of the almost finished octopus dish (the only dish we managed to finish). Hahaha. We asked them to "tapau" the rest of the unfinished food so it don't go to waste.
After dinner they let us sample some Korean rice tea and brought us some fruits. My friend commented that the rice tea tastes like our chinese barley drink.
Finally, when we pay the bill, the boss said that for the first 2 weeks of opening, he's giving a 10% discount.
Overall, me and my friend liked the food. Service was good and the boss was very courteous. Only thing is that the waiter doesn't really know how to give good recommendations, but I guess that can be overlooked. I'd say this place is worth visiting.
*PS: this is not a PPP post*

Hi Will, did you try their Korean Kimchi? Or pickled cabbage? Koreans have that everyday. I love it, like ah char. But sourish.
Can see you guys have good taste.
