I've always walked past this restaurant in Orchard Central but never ended up walking into it. Could have been the uninviting menu (they don't have good 'try-all' sets), or the fact that I just didn't feel like eating Korean that day (we usually end up at Ajiman for ramen). But today, there was a slight need for grilled belly pork.
It's a slightly upmarket kind of Korean restaurant where the free flow of various pickled and kimchi-ed vegetables don't exist (refils at S$3 each) and they didn't serve pickled soya beansprouts. The kimchi was alright, as was the white kimchi (which we didn't finish).
We ended up ordering the fresh sirloin and belly pork as our meats and a plate of chap jae (which is Korean vermicelli with julienne vegetables). The sirloin was yummy, grilled in front of us on charcoal (which with good ventilation didn't leave us with oil smelling clothes) to a medium done-ness but the belly pork was a little of a let down. The chap jae ended up being too sweet, due to the marination, but the beef reminded me of soft beef jerky.
Overall, a place we won't be going back to in a hurry.
