Hot Pot at the Seoul Garden

20th March 2012. Written by Xin Li.

Seoul Garden makes me remember of bad dining memories. It is the kind of place where we go on a binge with secondary school friends or JC classmates and I haven’t returned to Seoul Garden ever since until a friend of mine persuaded me to try their new Hot Pot items.

Since I was looking for dinner and Seoul Garden was nearby I decided to give it one more chance. The hot pot items were new in the menu of Seoul Garden, known for its BBQ buffet. There are at least 7 options to choose for the hot pot and I opted for the Seafood Hotpot (11.90++ SGD).

For its price, I had at least 3 plump looking mussels, a generous amount of clams, some prawns, glass noodles and vegetables. For the stock, you have the option of either the kim chi or the miso stock. I went with the miso stock and to be honest, the food wasn’t bad but neither was it impressive either.

Nonetheless, if you want looking for a filling meal with soup and rice, this is one option you could go for and the hot pot does give the meal a kind of warmth you would seek during cold, depressing, rainy days.

Pricewise, with the taxes added in the hot pot cost more than 13 bucks which I find it slightly expensive but objectively, this is still a mid-range pricing equivalent to Swensens or Manhattan Fish Market for a meal. For an additional 3 bucks, you also get a bowl of White Fungus Soup and a starter dish (ie. Pickled Kimchi, Cold Dubu, Marinated Cold Clams…)
