Korean BBQ @ TST (the best!)

Had more girlfriend time last week when Char was in town ♥

We decided to head for some Korean BBQ. If you're in Hong Kong and you're craving for some good Korean BBQ, this is definitely the place to go! The restaurant is managed by Koreans, there's lots of Korean customers patronizing the place and I've been here with my Korean friends a couple of times. Authentic enough? :D

I made reservations beforehand as the place can get pretty packed. For the night, we decided on the set meal for two. This came with loads of appetizers, beef, chicken and cuttlefish, toufu soup and two bowls of rice.


The beef & chicken was very well-marinated. The korean auntie there was helping us cook our meat. She kept shaking her head at us cos we were too busy eating and catching up and left the meat to burn on the grill. Oops! Surprisingly, she was pretty friendly and chatty that day even though they were pretty busy that Wednesday night.

As there was three of us, we added on another spicy toufu soup and a kimichi pancake. 


The food was pretty delish! Though too much  food for us small eaters! Had leftovers ):


Ended off the meal with some oranges. Super yummy! I don't know why but the oranges in Hong Kong always seem to taste sweeter. We spent about S$20 per person, which is about the same as what you'd spend in Singapore. However, the portions in Hong Kong were much more generous in comparison, making it more worth the money!

Anw, the food pictures are making me hungry! Probably drag Rugrats there next week for dinner. Somehow I always think Korean BBQ is healthy! So I don't feel guilty pigging out on it. Heh. Happy weekend!

Greyhound Cafe + Korean BBQ

It's finally the weekend and it's raining! Bummer ): Wanted to head out for brunch but the rain makes one lazy. And I don't like getting my feet wet. Haha. So here I am blogging and watching movies on this rainy saturday afternoon.

I was starving after doing lunch coverage on Wednesday, so decided to treat myself to a good late lunch instead of going to the gym. Headed to Greyhound Cafe at IFC, a quirky cafe serving Thai and Fusion Cuisine. I loved the simple black & white themed decorations of the place. The waiters were also wearing tees that said things like "I don't speak Thai, but I recommend good Thai food" and "Life is too short. More desserts anyone?". Cute! 

Was craving pasta so had the Spaghetti Cha Cha Cha, a slightly spicy ink pasta that came with tiger prawns and scallops. Stir-fried with peppercorns, basil leaves and chillis, the fusion flavor was interesting. The spaghetti was a bit too al dente for me though.

Headed to MyeongDong OK for a Korean BBQ dinner with some friends on Thursday. Forgot to charge my camera battery so not much photos. Rugrats and I were the first to arrive so we ordered some drinks to kill time. He had 2 bottles of Korean Beer while I had Sake. It is my favourite alcoholic drink ever! I am addicted. Yums!


Cam-whoring for the early comers :D I am loving my ASOS leopard print peplum top!


We bought a Groupon Voucher for a Set Dinner for 4. Since we had 5 people, we added on some dishes. There was free-flow appetizers, 3 different kinds of grilled meat, fried kimchi glass vermicelli, fried korean rice cakes (ddeokbokki), soft toufu soup (soondubu), beef ribs stew and kimchi pancake. I love it when food covers every inch of the table, though I don't eat much. Haha.


BBQ-ing the meat! The meat was really well-marinated. I especially love the beef ribs! Yummy! The bean paste sauce to wrap the meat in the lettuce was really good too. Overall, a satisfying dinner. And it was great to catch up with everyone (:
