We sometimes stop by the conveniently located Songane Korean BBQ for an easy meal. I didn't want a fried chicken place or to be at crazy noisy Tanjong Pagar or Amoy Street area where tons of Korean restaurants have sprung up. Songane has great lunch sets, and decently priced grilled meat sets for the evenings. I quite like their banchan. Nothing too inventive, and everything solidly dependable. The man likes their iteration of kimchi.
The restaurant's bulgogi lunch sets are quite all right. Don't ever order the kimbap here because it takes ages to arrive, and it might never turn up. Kimbap is prepped as and when the order is put it. It needs to be assembled and rolled up, but kitchen staff might not have sufficient time to do it at dinner when it's a full house. Songane Korean BBQ's duck stew is pretty delicious.
My problem with these Korean grilled meats is that the cuts are still too fatty. I don't bother much with Japanese yakiniku because they keep offering only wagyu and fatty pork on the menu. Tonight, we kept it light — had a portion of prime rib and pork collar. And beer, of course. The exhaust above the grille makes it a lot less smoky and we don't leave the restaurant with heavy BBQ meat smells. Can't help about the hair absorbing smells though. Hahahah. I love the lettuce and chillies served. If I didn't need carbs, then the lettuce wraps are a great way to take in the meats. The greens balance the whole meal and keep my stomach happy. Bottled beer works too. Wheeeeee.

Yey, to non Tanjong Pagar KBBQ recommendations… duck stew sounds delicious too!
I think there're two Korean BBQ places at Holland Village too, few units down from Chimichanga. But it's a bit crowded, methinks. So I still pop by those at Beauty World Level 4.
