Kkongdon

Location: Marina Square Link B1-01/02

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

We spent a total of $28.25 for 2 people, GST and service charge included! Here is an attached menu of the lunch promo:

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~
