Hot Pot Trip Discussion

I wanted to meet up with Angie as I had a few questions for her about our trip to Japan, which could be a bit tough over text messaging and it would have been rather long and tedious. She had a plan and I needed to change a few things on the plan, and also she was a good sounding board on how I planned to execute it as she was at tour-guide level. 

I was craving again, and this time it was for steamboat even though I had hot pot last night. She also wanted steamboat, but was craving a bit of hot plate action as well. So easiest choice was Seoul Garden, and location was quite easy when cinema and eating location are housed in Bugis Junction. 

Angie started her day with a movie and met up with me at the restaurant. I'd have to say that Seoul Garden is another place that has been losing touch. It started out quite good, with good ingredients and a load of quality choices that go well in a soup or pan-fried. Now there's sushi to increase the rate at which you fill yourself up, and a plethora of vegetables has dwindled down to 4 platters and 2 bowls, one of which was romaine lettuce. If you wanted more vegetables, you'd find it stuffed with fish paste. 

Good thing about this is that it's a buffet and we get to choose what we cook, and how we liked it cooked. However, a visit to one of the places across the street would have been better, even without the air-conditioned comfort.
