Used to come here for lunch a lot but have not been for a long time since moving office. Came here for a post Christmas dinner this time in a group of 8 and we were given a private room which was quite cosy with large windows overlooking Des Vouex Road. We ordered 2 dinner sets (for 4 ppl each) which included a lot of food. AppetisersThere were 8 dishes and I liked most of them, particularly the pancake, glass noodles and spinach.

Appetisers
There were 8 dishes and I liked most of them, particularly the pancake, glass noodles and spinach.
Ginseng Chicken Soup
It has the usual chicken and rice in the soup, although I could not find any ginseng in my bowl. It tasted quite refreshing, without being too heavy or oily.
Assorted BBQ meat (beef, pork, chicken, cattle fish)
We did our own BBQ on the stove which was fun. My favourite part was actually the salad box of lettuce, herb leave and cucumber (plus chili and garlic which I didn't try). The salad went perfectly with the beef (with dipping sauce) wrapped inside. After tasting the beef the others were just ordinary. Found the pork and the cuttlefish fish a bit too heavily marinated.
Stone pot rice
Only tried a small portion - it was a bit dried and bland by itself, but went well with the BBQ dishes.
Dessert and tea/coffee
We asked the waiter if the set included dessert and he told us that Koreans only like to eat fruits for dessert (really? ) and he served us oranges. The same waiter also took our drink orders - he said we can choose from a few different types of tea (ginseng, yuzu, ginger) and said the usual tea/ coffee. But when my friend ordered milk tea he said it was not available . Anyway I had the yuzu tea which was ok (with not much yuzu in it).
Other Info. :
We brougt in a cake to celebrate a birthday. There was no cake charge but the restaurant provided us with plates and dessert spoons which was nice of them.
