I used to go to the TST shop with my girlfriend but since I started working in Central now, I haven't been back for quite some time. As I happened to pass by Wo On Lane recently, I noticed a new Hungry Korean shop has opened up. The few times I walked by during lunch it was jam-packed, so of course I didn't bother waiting. It was not until last week when I finally had the chance to go for dinner after work with two friends of mine. The first impression was good. The shop was neat and clean. The
The few times I walked by during lunch it was jam-packed, so of course I didn't bother waiting. It was not until last week when I finally had the chance to go for dinner after work with two friends of mine. The first impression was good. The shop was neat and clean. The layout is a little different than the one in TST, probably less space but the new interior is quite refreshing. The staff there look young and I suspect one or two of them must be Korean.
Since there were 3 of us, we could order quite a few items to share, not to mention it was also the first time I tried their dinner specials
Banchan - The fish cake was a bit small (asian size!) but I shouldn't complain since 3 side dishes altogether were only HKD15. The mashed potato was absolutely gorgeous. It was very creamy and we ended up asking for more mased potato. My recommendation is to add deep fried potato as one of the sides, which I used to have back in Canada.
Dukbokgi - The rice cake was very chewy. One of my friends said it wasn't spicy enough but I thought it was just right. The only thing I would do diffrently was to have the egg half cooked, but I'm not sure if that would take the authenticity away.
Bul Go Gi Jeon Gol - Since one of my friends doesn't like spicy food, we ordered this specifically for her. The soup base was quite nice, loaded with vegetable, beef and noodles.
Japchae - The japchae was my favourite of all the snacks we ordered. It was refreshing and the sesame oil definitely added a lot of flavour to it.
Korean beef short ribs - First time trying this and I was quite pleasantly surprised. Also good for sharing.
Seafood Pancake - It was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The seafood selection on it was good, definitely added to the crispiness. Overall, food was great... service was exceptional... place was a bit small... definitely a good chill-out place in Central!
Other Info. :
I saw an Ice Cream signage outside but didn't see any desserts on the menu... wonder what they will actually serve ice cream!
