Had lunch at Bornga for Korean BBQ for the first at Star Vista. We ordered Woo Sam Yeop, which is a thinly sliced beef, and Samgypupsal, which means pork belly in simple English :), 200g each.
I thought with 400g of meat for the two of us, it might not be sufficient to fill our stomachs. However, I was surprised. They gave us plenty of greens, lettuce, chili, etc. If you worry about a healthy diet, at least these greens will help lessen the whatever bad effects BBQ food will have on your body.
And quite a number of sauces and sides to go with our meat.
Here are the meats we ordered in their raw form.
Wondering how you are going to get the best of the meat? Don't worry, the service staff will do the job for you. The staff skillfully BBQ the meat for us. The woosamyeop is just nice, one minute more will be too much, one minute less will be not fully cooked.
Compared with the woosamyeop, the pork belly is less impressive in its quality. I don't know where they source their pork belly, the skin was quite tough, which tasted like rubber.
If you lose a bit of appetite for consuming too much meat, their seaweed soup is there for you to enhance your appetite. It was a bit mix of sweet and sour. After drinking it, your saliva will come back and you will feel like your stomach can take on much more :) And there is no additional charge to this soup.
Last but not least, your finishing 'dessert'. My friend said it had 5 different tastes, sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and ...?
In terms of service, the waiter who did the BBQ for us was good. For the others, I think many of them are either very new, or just temp staff, so they are not as professional as they should be. It is a common problem to almost all mid-class restaurants. It is also a price we pay for the tighter immigration policy.
