BigBang Bulgogi Korean BBQ & Steamboat!

And I need to show this to you guys..
These are actually seats and it's so unique and really thoughtful!
Why I say so?
Look below..
*
*
See?
The top part is actually a seat cover, remove it and you can place your bags in it!
It's a wonderful idea to keep your bag safe and you don't have to worry that it might get stained by the BBQ oil-spots.

Here's the food served:
Daboki aka Spicy Rice Cake!
Though it might look like as if its just rice cake and spicy sauce, it still taste pretty good but of course, it's not the best I've tried so far.
California Sushi
It's really sweet of them to served California Sushi to their customers, because I myself don't usually eat rice but sushi, I eat! haha!
Kimchi Pancake
Eat it while it is still warm, that's for sure if you want to taste the flavorful kimchi pancake.
It's not that crispy and oily compared to some eateries.

Kimchi Fried Rice
I do enjoy this dish though mainly because I love kimchi~ <3
It is delicious when it's still warm and I love how they mixed it with the kimchi.

And we are privileged to try out the 2 different types of korean rice wine.
This is the traditional korean rice wine which you have to pour into the pot and stir, and serve in a bowl.
Check out how it is done below:
Sweet and kind manager showing us how to prepare the traditional rice wine :)

TA-DA!
A Toast to everyone!
*Cheers!*
The taste of this traditional rice wine is rather smooth and it's not the kind of rice wine which you will feel the strong alcohol taste at the back of your throat.
I kinda like this!

And next up is the Korean most popular -
Soju!
This is also another version of Korean rice wine however, the alcohol level and the taste is stronger, that's why they used the shot glasses instead.

You have to drink the Soju at one shot and do note that it's pretty strong in alcohol content for some.
*for me, It's strong enough to make my face rosy! hehe! I prefer the traditional version better.*
Cheers!
Enjoyed myself with the right awesome peeps!
Super nice and yummy food!
What about steamboat?
Steamboat is a little norm to me as the soup base is not as flavorful but I guess we can create our own flavorful soup base by adding prawns (must remember to separate the "prawn head" so that the soup will have a strong prawn-y taste, which indeed taste awesome!), crab sticks, meatballs, squid and many others to are added into the soup and made it even more flavorful!
BBQ?
Whereas for the BBQ, the meat is fresh and definitely the highlight of the meal!
I tried BBQ-ing mushrooms, pumpkins, of course the pork is uber marvelous, and marinated chicken, all is uber yummy!
*When we arrived at the eatery, the place was filled with customers and you can really see guys at the buffet corner piling up their meat! And everyone was laughing and chatting, and they seems enjoying themselves!
In my opinion, this is a good place to come if you are looking for affordable buffet BBQ & Steamboat. It's not only a place for food, it also a good place to chat and unwind over a drink or two after work with your friends and colleagues.
