Not being usually packed during weekdays lunch hour, situated on 18/F of L Place in Central, JANG restaurant sounds like a good choice for a catch up quick lunch. I assume less crowd was due to relatively high price. Looking around, most people are in business attire so the expense shall be claimed under companies!My friend (I will mention about him often in this review) and I were about to go with the lunch set when he noticed the lunch barbecue set for two people at around HKD439 and he was li
My friend (I will mention about him often in this review) and I were about to go with the lunch set when he noticed the lunch barbecue set for two people at around HKD439 and he was literally drooling... don’t ask me how I found out. We kick started at 12:20pm and need to hit the road by 2pm so we checked with the waiter to see how fast bbq can be served. “15 min at most”, replied by him. Surprised, we placed the order.
The starter has always been attractive since 2 years ago, when my first time here. Tofu, dried fish with lentils, my fav kimchi and Chinese sprouts comprised a multi flavored Korean starter. Then came the soup in which I can tell there was turnip, onion and a type of Korean green veggie. The taste of the soup was normal, nothing exciting and I did not even finish it.
Then came the barbecue beef together with two strips of asparagus and two slices of idk what (taste like some seafood mixed with flour because it was chewy; no weird smell so dubious as I were, still finished them) . Beef was cooked medium to medium well at most and they did not even ask how we would like to have it (ok it reminds me of a Chinese girl who came from Northeastern part of China when the waiter asked her how she would like to have the steak cooked, she said “7”, which means 70% cooked, or medium well. LMFAO even though we all may have had hard time when learning a new language but I just found it f***ing hilarious). The beef must have been saturated with barbecue sauce but it is too sweet for me... My friend (a French Canadian) spoke highly of that so I started to concern his healthy issue and recommended clinics (ok I went to far). The size of the beef was good for me with arnd 4 – 5 chops; finely cooked and really tender inside. If the sauce is lighter, I will definitely revisit. However, guy friend said he was still hungry after the beef and a whole bowl of rice (white rice, which will raise your GI immediately after lunch and makes you drowsy. Hate it and just had one bite. Now you can tell why I have a smaller belly than whom sitting opposite to me!). I gave my desserts out to him – a mochi with red beans on the top and ice cream inside. God know how much sugar it contains.
The waitress is kind of numb because I asked her to refill my glass and she probably did not get me. Ok even if I spoke poor English can’t she at least ask to double confirm what my request was dear?? It is raining today so my mood is blue. Sorry for being furious.
All in all, the food is not suitable for me but I believe most people will like it – heavy taste with unique Korean style, less packed and spacious restaurant in L Place 18/F, this is all you need during a lunch hour in weekday!
