Hey people! So May&FJ visited Kkongdon today! It was a spontaneous trip thanks to a review on the newspaper. This can be considered our first official food trip and the start of our blog:)
To start the ball rolling, the atmosphere of the restaurant was...filled with Kpop culture; hence it would be inviting for all the Kpop fans.
We ate group set lunch A which consists of:
- Beef & Pork meat
- Bibimbap
- Kimchi & toufu soup / kimchi pancake (we chose Kimchi & toufu soup)
- free flow side dish buffet :
- cucumber kimchi
- white kimchi
- raw lettuces
- raw onions
- raw carrots
- raw cucumbers
Advantages:
- They have a clean air purifier attached at the top of every table that absorbs all the smoke so you won't go out smelling like barbecue (really considerate of them)
- Very spacious, with good ventilation unlike some barbecue places where the tables are so cramped
- Good if you wish to try out a variety of Korean food at one go (they offer 3 types of main dishes for 1 set)
- Good service staffs
- Waiting time for food is pretty fast
- 2 TVs that show Kpop stars singing (but you gotta choose your seats wisely)
- Kimchi & Toufu Soup is good, we recommend this!
- Meat is not marinated, so you have the chance to try its original tastes and even dip them in the sauces provided. If you love to try a variety of tastes, this is a good option too.
- Meat chunks are thick! (here's your value for money)
Disadvantages:
- If you intend to have a meat-full meal, this may not be your best option as they serve by portion per head count.
- Water is NOT free here; it's $0.30/person (bring your own bottles my friends, unless this doesn't bother you)
- The sauce given for Bibimbap is kinda little, if you have a penchant for a savory foods, you can always request for extra sauce from the staff there (it's free of charge, so don't be shy)
Things to note:
- The group set lunch allows you to enjoy the side dish buffet which otherwise costs $5.50++ (hence, if you want the endless free flow of side dishes, this would be a better choice)
- A minimum of 2 people is required for group set lunch
- Last order for the promotion is at 2.30 PM
- Service charge and GST applies
Overall, we would say that it's an enjoyable experience and we certainly did NOT smell of barbecue when we left the place. Go have a try! It's a value for money!!
Ciao~
May&FJ
