Hi vivian-Fabulous! It was interesting although I think it’s best if you know what to pick

Hi Thomas-I don’t imagine that I could make that myself but it’s good to know!

Mysterious jelly is what koreans call MOOK. There are many types of mooks. Most commonly used ingredients for mook are: buckwheat or acorn in Korea and in Australia, chestnut(in your pic, it’s made of chestnut grounds). It’s a labour-intensive to make this coz you have to stir the liquid in the low heat for few hours.

Hi Amanda-Haha it seemed that way here! Some of the most “wrong” combinations end up being the tastiest! Like mayo on sushi-I couldn’t have sushi without mayo but I’m sure there is not much of a history of mayo in Japan

We’ve found a few restaurants recently where “Korean fusion” means “adding melted cheese.”

Though I have to admit that I’ve never complained about it while eating the Spicy Chicken with Cheese at the Korean fusion place in the Mandarin Centre in Chatswood. I cannot however comment on its authenticity.

Hi FFichiban-Hehe another oddly named restaurant hey!? Can’t wait to read about that if you go there Haha yes the King Grill was rather good-some fond memories there

Hi Marc-Oh yes you’re right! But it’s that high fibre no calorie stuff though I think

Hi Angela-I have to agree about the rules. I once stayed at a supposed 4.5 star serviced apartment/hotel that put a warning in the compendium that if you didn’t wash all of the glasses and plates then you would be charged $100 and $100 for a lost keycard. I could never relax there! The waitress was really nice though and when we read the rules she said the boys were totally ok.

They do have chocolate fondue although there seemed to be not a lot of chocolate dishes given the very chocolate-y name!

Hmm. I’m really not sure about this one. I may just be grumpy due to illness, BUT… while I understand that they wish to create a certain ambience in the restaurant, the House Rules run pretty close to being offensive to many patrons. (I know you always have the risk of being ejected from a restaurant, but this seems really… oppressive and I’m not sure I could eat there without worrying if I was being too loud or otherwise breaking a rule.)

And how many people must have visited, lured in by “chocolate” and then been sorely disappointed?

Aside from that, the food did look good! The fruit Patbingsoo looks immense (can’t believe there’s an even bigger one!!)

What an unusual combo. All the dishes look good though:-) BTW I think the jelly dish may have been Nokdumuk which is made from mung bean starch.

Hi flapflap-Yeah it’s pretty interesting stuff! No calories and lots of fibre. Pity it sometimes has a funny fishy smell to it although I had one in Tokyo that was just like spaghetti.

Hi Cappucino-Ahhh yes it might be easier by car or train? Thankyou so much!

Hi SydneyGal-Aha well I went to Zenya after your recommendation after the first Chocolate Kkmoz attempt. I’ll publish the story soon! I think I know the BBQ One place -it’s the place with the huge queues outside!

Hi Arwen-Yep that tofu and mushroom dish was soo good. I can still taste it!

Hi Howard-The booths are nice and apparently they’re just for people who eat meals, rather than drinks or sweets. There are regular tables too. The King Grill is great!

Hi Blond Duck-I guess they stick the pumpkin in the oven as soon as you order it

Hi Annie-It’s very varied isn’t it! The tofu is definitely worth a try

Hi maris-Thanks so much-it was indeed!

Hi Y-Haha yes it’s certainly different. The rules really threw me especially!

Hi Cakelaw-Yes I’d want it to be am amazing fondue. I am not sure where the $80 worth comes into it as a whole pumpkin is relatively inexpensive. But still I’m curious!

Hi grace-The fruit patbingsoo looks lovely and huge but there were too many flavours for me. It was spectacular looking though!

Hi Su-yin-They also call it Yam root. I admit ours couldn’t really explain it but I ate so much of it when I lived in Japan Wow, you make it yourself? That’s amazing! Well done!
