Seoul Garden Hot Pot

Seoul Garden Hot Pot is the new name of Fresh Bulgogi, the Korean BBQ place I raved about many posts ago that was located at Terminal 2. It now has moved and taken over the space that RamenTen used to occupy at Harbourfront, right beside Pastamania.

Menu has somewhat changed, no longer do you have a shared hotpot, instead there’s individual servings. I have to say, I much enjoy this way of eating. I’ve tried the miso seafood and miso sliced beef hot pot and they’re just so good. The amount of seafood and sliced beef is a lot per person. The raw sliced beef cooks gently in the hot broth, making the miso soup even more delicious.

One gripe I have to say they no longer serve smoked duck at the restaurant. I found a new favourite side dish, marinated cold clams! OMG just perfect accompaniment to the bowl of hot rice. And if you top up $3 to the meal, you get 3 side dishes and a bowl of dessert. Their side dishes are just flavourful, there’s kimchi potatoes, beancurd, cabbage etc. A must try has to be their seafood pancake, deep fried mandu and their fried seafood tanghoon. And to make this whole meal perfect, order the hot cinnamon tea seriously warms you up.

They have other dishes on the menu like bibimbap and hot pots with kimchi base, but miso has become my personal favourite.

Korean Kimchi Hotpot

[This restaurant has moved to Harbourfront] After a weekend of eating & shopping in KL, I was ready to go home. My flight reached Singapore by 745pm, a 15 minutes delay. Called my folks & they said to meet @ Terminal 2, so I dragged all my bags from Terminal 1 and took the skytrain. I guess it was worth it because we had Korean hot pot @ Seoul Garden Hot Pot. They had smoked duck on the menu!!!! I was so psyched!!! The kimchi broth & all the mushrooms & vegetables was wonderful. I took sirloin slices and swirled it in the hot pot, dipped it in the green sauce, to die for!!!! The smoked duck was so tender and had such a smoky taste, muy delicioso! I wanted more! But everything in moderation we also tried the seafood pancake, there was a nice dipping sauce, chilli oil and something like a shrimp mixture kinda like ikan bilis sambal tumis. It was so good! There were also different types of kimchi, mushrooms, white radish & cucumber kimchi. I love the variety!

Fresh Bulgogi

I’m taking a mental note not to go there on a Saturday night. My family and I went to the branch at Terminal 2, dang were they packed! We ordered 2 types of 2-in-1 hot pot and bbq, short beef ribs, crispy spinach, 4 sets of namul and kimchi. Not too many stuff ordered compared to the last time we were there. Perhaps it was due to the fact that I was way too exhausted and sick to eat. Anyways, the stock base that we chose was kimchi, mummy decided to make it spicier by adding the condiments that the provided for us, like the gochujang and the green dipping sauce and garlic sauce, it made the kimchi soup so spicy and so nice on such a rainy cold night. I like meat, being vegetarian for 2 1/2 years in Australia, did my figure good but nothing beats the taste of thinly sliced beef thats slowly swirled in hot kimchi stock letting it change into a shade of slightly light pink before resting it on a bed of sticky rice. Heavenly. The crispy spinach was a good appetiser but the star of the night was the short beef ribs, sweet and succulent after bbqing it for a while, it was just gorgeous I know that’s not a word one describes beef, but it was simply delightful to rip the sweet meat off the bone. The salmon sashimi was thick and fresh. Next time, I’m gonna try the bibim baps there of which they have several varietys. I love the food, but dislike the smell of smoke in my hair hours afterwards. Good place to take the family to for a halal korean meal.
