PLACE: Town
ADDRESS: Excelsior Shopping Centre, Level 4
MUST TRY: Korean "Traditional" Steam-grille steamboat
I want to say one thing all other reviews on other food blogs or website say about the buffet.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BIG SPREAD BUFFET, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.
In fact, there are only
3 types of meat(Chicken, pork, beef), prawns, vege, mushroom, noodle and tanghoon, Kimchi, orange
The whole spread there can be sum-ed up in less than 2 lines here.
Okay, so if there is no big spread, what is the point then? After-all for buffet, we want to eat as much as we can.
Okay, first there is steamboat pot / pan, whatever you call it that is special. I guess we are all tired about the normal flat pan bbq grille style which we find everywhere including Seoul Garden, one of this restaurant's competitors. The steam-grille style make the meat tender and juicy, yet allow the 'cook' (who is yours truly, me) control the kind of outcome. Want to make meat more steamed, add soup on top. Want to eat BBQ style, dont add soup on top. (Trust me, it is not so simple when you do it yourself)
Then there is the meat. Not the freshest or the tastiest, but something different. The meat (chicken and pork) actually taste a bit sweet while the seasoning is not overwhelming. In fact, from the serving tray, it is hard to tell that the meat is seasoned before.
The environment is another factor to consider. Cheerful lady boss, friendly waiter / waitress, etc, etc.

Still that word, don't go if you are looking for a big spread. You can, however, order items from the menu ala carte rather than buffet.
Rating:
4/5 for the orginal-ness of Korean Cusine.
