Hyang-to-gol Korean Restaurant

Warning: Lots of pictures of meat. Not for herbivores.

Hyang-to-gol is located on the 2nd floor of Amara Hotel, tucked away in a small corner in between Silk Road and Than Ying. I had never known that Amara had a Korean restaurant, having been to Silk Road, Than Ying and Santaro several times. It was about half-full on a Saturday night, although there was a steady stream of customers.

They serve many varieties of meat, mostly fatty cuts. The meat is not cheap though - the beef plates cost $35 t0 $40 per plate, while the pork plates cost over $20. We ordered 2 serves of the beef rib, one serve of squid, one soup and one raw beef (yukke).



The standard appetisers

Ikan bilis - quite nice and crunchy

Kimchi

They give you 2 dipping sauces to dip the meat into, one which tasted vaguely of miso, and the other being a salt-sesame oil mix. I preferred the latter.
Raw meat being grilled.

The smell was divine!

We didn't expect help for the grilling.

Freshly grilled fatty beef...absolutely divine.

Raw beef with raw egg yolk and korean pear. Absolutely yummy!
