Korean restaurant

Another quick update. Went to get my hair chopped at Shunji Matsuo. Though more costly than the usual, not that bad actually. Was kinda thirsty and got this from Paragon Market Place. It is a carbonated drink. Mine was the peach flavour and 'ter was orange but there is no picture. I bought it as it was quite nostalgic to drink it and savour the good 'ol primary school days where I bought this from the Econ mini-mart. However, it was kinda gas-y and I didn't like that 'spicy' feeling when drinking carbonated drinks. Anyway, after that, we headed to suntec. Did some shopping, and then....

Went to A Korean Restaurant. The pictures below are the appetiters - I think. At one glance, it might see very spicy but lo and behold, it is actually quite mild. However, certain appetiters like the one on bottom right greens and the bottom left bean sprout, it was marinated with sesame oil. Thus it has a refreshing taste and makes one feel like eating more. On top of that, every time we finish a plate of the appetiters, the waitress would automatically refill for us unless we tell her otherwise. I think the refill is free. So eat till you faint!


The first 'dish' of this set was these prawns. Grill till perfection with a slice of lemon and a dash of spring onion. The meat was truly succulent. Unlike some restaurant where they cheat by soaking the prawns in baking soda, this taste quite natural.

Next would be this gigantic sotong. Two of them in fact.

After eating much appetiters and prawns, it was quite filling for me. Cause we ate quite early and I am not much of a food barrel. LOL. So the amount of chilli paste they added seem quite fiery at first but as usual, it is not so spicy. The taste was just nice. Oh and before I forget, the sotong were barbequed so there was some taste of carbon which can be quite good for the body in little amounts.

Famous Korean pancake!

As usual, the chilli is not that spicy unless you bite the membrane part. You know, the centre part of the chilli that holds the seeds. Yeah, it is not the seeds that 'holds' the spiciness but the membrane that holds on to the seeds that gives the punch of HOTTNESS! Though you can see the oil on this stone plate, it is not very greasy and but since it is made of flour, it can be quite filling.

Also, there was kim chi seafood soup with rice and a fruit platter but was unable to take pictures of them as 'ter phone camera was low in power.

By the time the kim chi seafood soup was served, I was quite full and didn't really enjoy the taste of it. So I have no comments on it. For the fruit platter, well, fruit is fruit no matter where it comes from. We had the usual, watermelon, honey dew and pineapple which I dislike.

So thats about it for Korean cuisine.
