Dae Bak Korean BBQ Restaurant

2nd time trying the Korean BBQ type of food. An expensive genre of food but the food is nice and the meat is succulent and delicious.

Chanced upon this shop while looking for food along Amoy street and I was glad it was a nice find. Here's my short review:

Korean BBQ stove with fried omelette egg

Comments: The good thing about Korean BBQ is that the condiments (kimchi, salad, pickles, etc) are free flow, including the egg. Finish just ask them to top up.

Lettuce with Salad Sauce

Pickles

Prime Wagyu Rib $28

Comments: My friends were not really fans of Beef, but I always love a nice steak or piece of wagyu rib, so I ordered it and I was not disappointed. The meat was thickly sliced, and after BBQing it, it tasted really juicy. As you can see the white parts are the fat and that is actually the best part of the meat.

Herb Pork Belly $20

Comments: For people who don't take beef, there's always pork belly. Having a whole slab of pork belly seems intimidating, but they will give you a pair of scissors and you can cut it according to your preference. I recommend bbq-ing the whole slab then cutting it as it keeps the juices in. Just marinating the pork belly with salt seems simple but the meat is really fresh and tender so you can really enjoy the taste of the meat instead of marination.

Spicy Chicken: $18

Comments: If you don't take beef and you scared of pork belly, then I guess the only meat left is chicken. The chicken tasted ok. Even though it was spicy chicken, but it was not that spicy at all. The meat was also really tender.

BBQing the Prime Rib and Pork Belly

Dinner Bean Soup: $21 (Big)

Comments: This soup is tasty I must say. Had a lot of ingredients in it. Mostly seafood. My friend said that the one he tasted in Korea was better, but this was not bad either. It comes like a steamboat, just nice to go with the meat.

Overall review: Really liked the place even though it was a bit small. The pricing of the meats are quite expensive, so it's best to go as a group. I went as a group of 4 and spent about $20+ dollars per person. They have other dishes, but it's weird to go to a Korean-BBQ restaurant without ordering their meat to BBQ. They have free flow of lettuce, so you could wrap the lettuce with the egg(dip in their sauce) and the meat. Taste delicious!

Recommendation: 8/10 (the pricing may set you back a little)
