Jang Shou Korean BBQ (Katong Village)

The restaurant is located in Katong Village at the 2nd storey. The 1st storey is a Japanese restaurant. Park charges at katong village is $4.50/entry on weekend and you can get a $2 refund ticket from the counter if you start your meal after 6pm. Alternatively you can park at Katong mall beside it for $2.05/entry.

Our while family went there last saturday for a dinner gathering. The place was not hard to find, bright signage when you stand directly infront of the carpark entrance but there is only a staircase to the 2nd storey so it may be inconvience for the elderly.

They are using electric to heat up the hot plates for the food. For meat choices there are alot to choose from, chicken, pork, beef and fish. And each type of meat they have the marinated type or plain cuts like porkbelly (thin/thick slices). I counted at least 12 types of choices there. For vegetable, you can get white mushroom, potatoe slices, onions, green chilli, brinjal which i suppose to be the sides for the meat.

You are supposed to cook the meat, scissors provide for the thicker slices of pork belly, wrap them in fresh lettuces leaves and raw garlic slices and eat. Somehow I was not used to the combination of fresh lettuces and cooked meat together so I just eat in like normal buffet style, meat without the lettuces. There are also rice if you want.

The side dishes are plenty. There are hot cooked food like curry potatoes, rice-cakes in gravy, miso soup with fresh seaweed leaves. Cold dish like mayo macoronic, apple veg salad, fresh purple lettuces shreds, and raw beef salad if you dare to try it. Somehow the beef salad runs empty pretty fast. There are also kimchi, and other korean cold dishes that I couldnt remember.

Cold water is free and a can of soft drink would cost you $2.80. The surrounding was quite cosy and not noisy even though it was packed. Quite surprising we did not smell of BBQ and foodcourt smell once we are outside, as there are exhuast ducts above the cooking area which I suppose it helps.

We pay $33 inc. of GST and service charge. For once the service was worth it as the staff keeps clearing our plate for us and cleaning the hotplate once they noticed that it is staining with hard custs.

We will definately go back again.
