AWON Korean Restaurant

Please don't read as AWOL.

Today went out with the fellow mates to the above-mentioned restaurant for lunch, according to ORD sequence:
1. SK (26/10)
2. Edwin (10/11)
3. Yun Zhen (11/11)
4. Jansen (11/11)
5. Shi Hao (7/12)
6. Me (14/12)
7. Joseph (15/12)

Everybody on dm or o except for Shi Hao. Had to wait for him to go together. Meanwhile SK helped those to register for vertical marathon (in layman term is climbing stairs). Edwin went home to collect the car to fetch the 6 of us. Sorry to keep him waiting, it's not our fault really. Haha! But anyway, thanks to him for the ride. $10.10 for 3 hour plus of parking was ex, ouch!

Reason for this event being, to find a suitable place to host our ORD dinner. It's a prestigious event lor! Hahaha!

INTRODUCTION
The restaurant can be considered quite ulu, somewhere in a hotel besides Funan IT Mall, very near to City Hall MRT station.

To my surprise, it's just besides a chinese restaurant which the extreme recommended me for its dim sum lunch buffet!

When we got there, despite it's still lunch time, the restaurant was quite 'cold-clear' (pls translate this into chinese lol).

SERIES OF EVENTS
We started the ball rolling without Joseph as he was very very late. The variety of uncooked food there was super super PTE LTD. Only 3 types of meat were available, on top of prawns. Then there were 2 types of vegetables for selection. Then beansprouts, mushroom, chilli sauce, those 'got de nothing de' (pls translate this into chinese lol).

The stove they used was a very portable and run on gas one. However the gas can got used up quite fast though. The pan is like what we called 打边炉 with the centre part bloated up so that we can barbeque the meat there. The side or circumference is designed to contain the soup.

Personally, I don't take beef. Yun Zhen also doesn't eat beef. So we don't get to review the beef. We reviewed on the chicken and pork. Please read under REVIEW section.

Jansen was the cook of the day. Basically, he just poured everything on the pot itself and started to cook with passion. Well, when I mention passion, it's really passion! Look at how he cooked! Too bad, I don't have a camera...

After he cooked the big portion of food, he sat down, eat eat eat then stood up to cook again. And look at how he stuff the food... OMG, it's like those 大胃王决赛酱, keep stuffing the food until the mouth was super super full + bloated. Again, I don't have a camera...

Suspect he worked along this food industry line before...

And the speed of them eating... Waa... Must take off my hat off to them lar. I just do my part to fill up my stomach.

Some trivials:
1. SK kept souring Yun Zhen.
2. Shi Hao spammed Kimchi.
3. Edwin and Yun Zhen spammed hotdogs.
4. Jansen just quietly cooked with passion.
5. Joseph took the whole tub of prawns when SK joked so little prawns.
6. Heng never charge extra for wastage of food. LOL
7. SK was the prawn king. (no pun intended rfrf)
8. Edwin admit he likes to eat mushroom.
9. SK claimed to be one member of our batch when he isn't.

Bill after 20% discount: $16.42 per pax.

Then Jansen and Edwin went to toilet after the meal. We suspected they vomitted beef and mushroom respectively and we laughed all the way non-stop.

Then me and Edwin decided to take a walk at Funan while the rest headed home 'cause I want to catch a ride home on Edwin's car. Oops, I should say Edwin's family car.

Ordered a bottle of perfume from Wai Lon. Lol...

REVIEW
As me and Yun Zhen can't take beef, we can only review on chicken and pork. Well, we agreed that chicken was tastier than pork.

Edwin said the 冬粉 seemed nice.

Joseph insisted the restaurant in East Coast he recommended is better. But more expensive too. About $22 per pax before tax.

The ambience was ok. Not too much on visual styling except with some leaves engravings on the wall. Service was good. Before Edwin mentioned the word 'gas', the waiter replaced the gas can with a new one.

I feel that Chinese food is still better than Korean food lor.
