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.

Seoul Garden Hotpot is located at:

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!

BBQ Korean at Cineleisure Orchard

After Isyak prayers last night, we decided to have dinner at Orchard. Utterly rare for the whole family to decide to eat there since its usually so crowded. Or maybe its because its due to my constant bugging yesterday morning. Anyways, Adik got off class at 9.45pm so by the time the orders arrived, it was still piping hot. The manager remembered me from all the times I had dinner there with my mates, service was great and the servers whilst waiting to serve was dancing to the korean pop music video that was screened on the wall. For a Wednesday night, it was quiet, there was only one other table occupied by three ladies engrossed in their conversation. Last order is at 10.15pm, and then suddenly whilst we were perusing the menu, a huge crowd of people came in , I guess they came for supper after watching a movie upstairs. Anyways we decided to order 2 family sets of the Korean Charbroiled Chicken, 4 sets of Kochi (wrote about these before in a previous post rather like chicken satay but tastes so much better with its mild spices), Korean Tea (tasted like roasted barley tea..quite a good drink to cleanse the palate), Ice chocolate, Orange juice, and 2 types of Korean desserts. One of them is kinda like brownies ala mode, and the other is like the korean version of ice kachang with red bean, shaved ice, rice cake, vanilla ice cream and a cherry on top. Quite good! The charbroiled chicken was yummy as usual, the best way to describe the chicken is that its like having grilled chicken but much more moist and juicy with all the flavours of the marinate seeped into it. We also also ordered the Fish cutlet which I think had a panko coating, crispy, and a mayonaise dijon dressing on it served with fries and fresh coleslaw (which tastes so much better then other coleslaws from fast food joints). With the family set meals, it includes, 4 drinks per set, 2 servings of colesaw per set, 2 servings of fries per set and 8 pieces of charbroiled thigh meat. Times 2 for all of that. It was a pretty enjoyable meal, rare to have had dinner with the family in Orchard Road. Hmm next time, I’d like to try their soup, looks interesting since so many people ordered that. Oh and currently there’s a promotion going on with the cinema, you can redeem movie tickets with your receipt from BBQ Korean. I walked over to Cineleisure this morning to redeem the tickets. So we’re going to the movies next week with Mummy and adik
