Food is something which we can't live without. Like they say, some live to eat and some eat to live. I guess I'm the former. Not only myself, but my wife, son and a group of colleagues and friends.
In my live to eat journey, I shall try and document, and hopefully deliver some good recommendations locally and overseas.
Thanks to my current job that I get to travel overseas quite often. I have been to some really good restaurants overseas and I shall try to "backdate" it and list them here.
Now, to start this blog off, my birthday is in about 2 weeks time and as I will be away on a business trip in Africa, my wife has decided to bring forward our traditional "Its your birthday, I'll buy you dinner" treat. This year's dinner was at this place called Jang Shou Korean Charcoal BBQ.
As the name suggests, its a korean bbq place (think Seoul Garden), but on a more classier and quality environment. No buffet spread here. All items are a-la-carte off the menu and the BBQ'ing is done by the waiting stuff.
We ordered 4 things. The beef ribs, the chicken, a sliced beef hotpot and bibimbab. To keep it short, there was only 2 things that I liked. The beef ribs (or correctly known as Galbi) is a "die-die-must-try". It was well seasoned and when barbequed to the correct consistency, it simply delivers the taste and melts in your mouth. My son asked for a second serving but we simply had too much on our table.
The next dish that was to my liking was the beef hotpot. Thinly sliced beef was introduced to a pot of boiling broth containing vegetables, mushrooms, etc. The ingredients fused with each other and the outcome was a tasty broth and tender beef slices.
I would recommend visiting this restaurant. Do not be too greedy when ordering. The beef rib is good for 2 adults (+ 1 child) and the beef hotpot is good for 3 or 4. In addition, a-la-carte bbq orders comes with abt 8 side dishes such as kimchi, seasoned pickles, macaroni salad, etc.
My ranking out of 5 stars: 3 (For the Galbi alone: 3.5 stars)
