강산에 B.B.Q. (Kang San E B.B.Q.)

Our first food review falls on the Korean cuisine. It was somehow planned as we researched on which restaurant provides the best combination in what they offer and also the cost. We chose Kang San E after much consideration. This B.B.Q. restaurant is famous for its marinated pork, or gal-bi as other reviews stated on the internet.

Owned by a native Korean, the workers consist of Koreans whom are capable of speaking 3 languages; Korean, Mandarin and English.

The waiter is very patience when explaining stuff to us, and it took a while for us to choose which to eat and also what to add on. We were first served by the usual drinks and side dishes (which are bottomless). Then, the waiter will cut and barbecue the meat for us until it's properly cooked to the best condition.

Left: Side dishes; Right: Pork bacon strips

We ordered pork bacon strips, marinated beef (bul-go-gi) and marinated pork (gal-bi-jjim) or which the last 1 were brewed to its finest; tender meat covered with tasty sauce to result in such lovely taste. You’ll fall in love with it in the first bite. Savour the moment. Besides, if you ordered 2 BBQ sets or more, you’ll be entitled with a free shaved ice and watermelons for free. We got the red bean paste shaved ice in this case.

They will change the barbecue tray and charcoal occasionally so there’s no problem with sticky or dirty pan and charcoal poisoning.

Editors’ notes:

Overall the experience is great. The food taste is above average. Because the restaurant is located within Korean town, the environment gives you such pleasure of dining with a lot of Koreans around. Good for those who are into Korean lifestyles. The hygiene is good. This restaurant is recommended if you really hunger for Korean BBQ.
