The price is quite something, but it's well justified. It's wet aged, dry aged, AND water aged

The result speaks for itself. Really one of the best I've had, it's so incredibly good. The texture is superb, it's got the gelatinousness and fattiness that's uncharacteristic of pork belly. The flavour was good as well and there's this almost undescribable excellence to it

The rock salt and the funky sandy sauces both work very well, but the melt in your mouth garlics take the cake

Must try. Examplary. If their kbbq meats are anywhere as good they might easily be the best kbbq place in Singapore

As others have said, the peppery nature reminds of bkt. But it's much weaker, it's got not much body and seriously lacking in seasoning, which makes it taste bland overall. A good bowl of bkt soup beats this handily anyday if you're looking for intensity of flavour

Execution wise the pork cuts and what they call pork maw were all cooked well. Esp the maw and the jowl, were very good

I don't think it'd worth the try tho, unless got a reservation

I have to say the top plate of usual suspects is good. Esp the garlic doesn't have much bite

The bottom is a green chili based sauce. It's got a rather intense fruitiness, although not from actual fruit sugar. But it's too weak to go with the meats

Just 2 kinds, there's some heat that grows on you. The chives were abit more unique, it's got this mild herbal nature

Went during lunch to try out the highly raved pork and rice soup. Ordered the Busan style Daejigukbab ($21++) and Myeongran-jeot which is basically salted pollack roe ($9++). The pork broth was light and peppery, similar to an extremely lighter version of our Bak Kut Teh. The pork was extremely tender which had a good mixed of pork collar, pork belly and stomach. Though the meat seemed fatty, their sides especially the pickled vegetable helped to cut through the fattiness. The rice was well cooked as it was not mushy and starchy allowing the soup to retain its flavour and texture. The salted pollack roe had a nice sesame and saltiness which went well with the rice.

Overall, this is slightly on the pricier side as the meal cost $35.97 after GST + service charge but good to try at least once

Unusual in that most meats are pork and not beef. Excellent BBQ , although other dishes are good too. Outstanding service. Tables are a bit small for parties of 6.
