This are the legendary fried oyster. It taste dried, not like the normal fried oyster, too oily (soak in the oil). Not too salty as well, just nice. The oyster and egg are nicely blend together, normal fried oyster are just a bunch of flour and eggs, normal fried oyster you can say it's just fried egg, haha.. The fresh from the sea and the fragrance of the egg are perfectly match together. I really don't know what to describe for this one, you will only know it when you tried yourself.

BBQ Air Duct.
The 2nd things for eye catching was the air duct, it was design for the air ventilation when you do the BBQ "indoor". It used the counterweight system, it can be pull down and fold up after the BBQ. As we all know, the mist of the oil will flying around and mess up all the seat and table, included the interior design. It is also a hard maintenance for cleaning up the oil mist. You don't wan to mess up with those would you? haha...
Place where I sit in the VIP room..
Later 15min become... :p beside me this old couple are Korean!
Ok, enough on the interior, let's talk about the food here. As we all know Korean love beef, yeah, right, it's beef, and pork, the main ingredient were beef.. a small reminder my friend, for this restaurant, you must at least order 2 set and the waiter will help you prepare the BBQ in front of you. If not, they will cook the BBQ inside the kitchen and then served to your table.
BBQ Beef with all the small side dishes rounding it.
And the 2nd this is pork, so for those don't like beef or pork, it can skip out from your menu.
BBQ Pork.
Lettuce.
All of the BBQ set were come with the small dishes, and served with lettuce (生菜), you can roll the beef/ pork, add some the side dishes and eat it.
Beef in process.
The soup, a bit spicy...
The set come with free soup, basically you no need to order soup already, unless you not enough with the one bowl of free soup, then you can order one extra for yourself.
The drink- FREE.
The drink is a tea, but this one is a kind of malt taste tea, not some green tea or some normal tea, the taste is a mild taste of malt, but still acceptable. For those love alcohol, you might try some Soju, the Korean rice wine with the beef.
Ok, like usual, after talk on the food and environment... we talk on the service and cleanliness. The restaurant are not bad, waiter are efficiency on the cleaning job and the service are good. These are my rating for them:
