Groupon - Korean Bistro Sarang at Orchard Central

Groupon Again! Recently, I had been quite addicted to Groupon Voucher for restaurant. This time we tried Sarang Korean Bistro at Orchard Central.

Easy to make reservation?

Yes, it was quite easy to make reservation, we made reservation when we were on our way down to the restaurant. Maybe because it was a weekday night. I would advise you to make reservation early for weekend night as the bistro is not very big. Ask for outdoor area.

How is the experience?
Outdoor area was beautifully set up like a garden. Indoor setup was boring. Although, "Outdoor" it is not warm, the big ass fan on the ceiling cool the place.

Big Ass Fan..what a cool name for a fan..

View from our table...

Waiting for food....

Appetizer (Free) ...refill available, The lotus is my fave..

Lychee Soju ($19), this was very easy to drink...nice!

Army Stew ($32), the claypot was quite shallow. Soup was very limited. Taste was quite average.

Pork Belly ($22), the pork belly was bbq by the kitchen. The pork belly taste quite good together with the sauce provided.

Kimichi Pancake ($8), The pancake was not bad, they are quite generous with the seafood.

Total bill: $60.03 after $40 Groupon voucher. (including 2 rice at $2 each)

Any Hard Sell?
No.

Will I go back again?
Yes, there is 50% discount for American Platinum Card Members for 2 diners. Better than Groupon deal. I only knew there is 50% discount for Amex Plantinum Card holder when I am paying. I like the decor of this place and think it was quite a nice place to chill out.

Pigsfly Kitchen & Bar

This year we celebrated Hazel's birthday on her actual day at PigsFly. Pigsfly Kitchen + Bar is a really cool concept with 6 different cuisines, American Gourmet Burgers, Pizzas, Seafood, Northern Indian, Japanese and traditional Thai favourites. And the Japanese stall, Kazoku was operated by our secondary school mate. We have seen many of our school mates patronizing his stall and have always wanted to try so finally because of Hazel's birthday we decided to pay him a visit.

We ordered mainly from his stall as a show of support and also because of the good comments he's been receiving. I am here to offer a confirmation!

We ordered quite a number of items like beef steak, salmon sashimi, sword fish sashimi, cold soba, tamago sushi, scallop salad and California roll. Everyone agreed that the taste of the Japanese food was indeed pretty good and for the price, it is really value for money. I actually pretty much enjoyed the food so much that I'll be back.

So after dinner, the usual standard activity would be partying and to make the night more interesting, it's the halloween weekend at Zouk!
