For our third and final celebratory dinner for godbro XO becoming the Wanchai district specialist, it has finally come to my pick. Me, being the Korean BBQ enthusiast, I picked Meokbang as the destination for our adventure. There are plenty of Korean BBQ places around, but not many offer ganjang gejang (soy sauce marinated raw crabs), so Meokbang it is. I chose this particular location since godbro prefers to drive, and it is easier to find parking around Heard Street. Also, the Meokbang ban
The decor of the restaurant was quite interesting, they had Korean posters on the walls, and there were blackboards on the walls and those had drawings of food on them. We were seated by the window, and the stools that we sat on had removable tops where we could stash our belongings.
Since there were 4 of us, we decided to order the BBQ meat set for 2 and add a couple of dishes. Also, when I made the reservation, I reserved 2 crabs to share between the 4 of us.

For the set, (the server actually came to our table to tell us how long to grill each item, and he grilled a few things for us too!)
Prime Spare Rib--this was a little more tender than the boneless one and the flavor was the same.
Pig Skin--the server actually grilled this for us and told us that it was already pre-cooked and all we had to do was grill it until it turned golden brown. I thought the pig skin would be greasy, but it wasn't, and it was like a thin piece of nicely flavored jelly.
Pork Belly--I don't usually eat fatty pork, but after I had the pork belly in Jeju, I am no longer hesitant in having pork belly. The pork belly was, surprisingly, not greasy at all, and it tasted better than the one I had at another Korean BBQ restaurant in HK, but it's still not as good as the one I had in Jeju, but that came from a local black hair pig.
Marinated Short Rib--the short rib had a stronger beef flavor than the spare rib, but it was a little harder to chew due to its cut.
Prawn--the prawn was huge, and of course, the meat was a little tough because of its size, but it wasn't dry.
Chicken--I don't usually eat chicken at Korean BBQ because I think chicken dries out on the grill, but the server taught us how to grill it correctly, and it came out pretty good. It wasn't dry and the marinade made it taste a little sweet.
Beef cheek--The server didn't tell us which of the meats was the beef cheek, so I'm just taking a guess that the meat that had a stronger chew that was almost crunchy would be the beef cheek
Beef tendon--I've never had beef tendon at Korean BBQ before, and this was quite interesting. Since it was grilled, the outside of the beef tendon had a slightly charred texture and the inside was gelatinous and a little sticky.

We also ordered the cheese fried rice since it's the new hit thing to eat nowadays. The cheese was nice and stretchy, and the fried rice was loaded with kimchi flavor. I was fine with the strong flavor, but it was too spicy for one of us though.
