Back from MIA: Straight to HAAN-SSIE

Bonsoir bons vieux amis!

It has been a while and I have missed writing in my food blog! I will try and improve the ways in which I write so that it will minimise the amount of time I require for editing! Food reviews will have a similar layout so hopefully you will get reviews more frequently - i.e. this means more food-ography!

When I don't have food reviews, I might be discussing more on the nutritional values of food, the importance of a well balanced diet, as well as some more general food topics - so stay tuned!


Date: 24 March 2012

Review: 

The staff were all extremely friendly and nice (definitely a bonus when you first walk into any restaurant). The positioning between tables were good - not too close together, therefore giving patrons between tables some privacy! From a quick glimpse around, the food looks extremely appealing and delicious! 
The waiters/waitresses gave us ample time to have a look at the menu, but came over very promptly when we had questions/decided to order. The menu was quite extensive and there were so many choices to choose from! 
Favourite dish of the night has to be the beef stew (first picture above) - it was sweet from the corn syrup and jujube (red dates), and the beef ribs melt away once it reaches your mouth. I couldn't stop eating it!
The fried chicken is definitely 500% better than any KFC I have ever eaten. The sweet chilli sauce gives it the slight sweetness that makes this dish delicious with a swig of beer! It was so crispy on the outside, yet the meat is moist and tender - definitely an impressive technique in cooking those chicken pieces ~!
Finally the seafood bulgogi, which is also very nice! The slight sweetness of the dish and the slight spiciness makes it very pleasant to eat (without too much of a spice, but I would've loved it a little bit more spicy, nevertheless, flavours were still there). The combination of seafood seems to be just right and nothing was overcooked - they were just right. 

Recommendation: Yes / Maybe / No - definitely heading back there to try more of the other dishes out.
