| - The server brought forth five plates of banchan first with a complimentary steamed egg dish. I was so thrilled with this and absolutely thought that the steamed egg was so delicious! It was plain steamed egg but I enjoyed its fluffiness and smoothness.
The banchan included kimchi, fermented bok choy, bean sprouts, eggplant, and apple slices & cucumbers. The eggplant was a unique one that I enjoyed.
Soon, our gigantic wok of spicy chicken and cheese ring arrived to the table! It was definitely worthy of photos and videos. Our extra cheese arrived in a 2-cup measuring cup and the rice cakes in a separate dish. After turning on the heat on the tabletop BBQ, the server poured in the rice cakes and cooked it for us a little bit. Unlike my experience at Yoogane, the rest of the cooking was left to us that night.
Once the chicken, rice cakes, cabbage, and onions had been thoroughly cooked in the centre grill and the cheese had melted in the ring, we began eating by taking a piece of the chicken and dipping into the cheese ring to eat. The cheese had probably been left cooking longer than it should have been because we didn't get the gooey and stringy cheese that we wanted but it was still really delicious. The cheese smelled amazing!
The tender dark meat chicken pieces, when wrapped around the cheese, were a perfect match of tastes and the cheese helped to take away the slight spiciness of the meat and veggies too. The rice cakes were also firm and tasted just right.
Seafood Pancakes with Garlic Chives: This looked amazing and came with a dish of soy sauce and floating garlic chives. I gobbled up a couple slices of the Seafood Pancakes as I waited for the cheese to melt and this Seafood Pancake was absolutely delicious! There were just enough shrimps and squid in it with green chives and the pancake itself was also thin and not greasy! It had been a while since I had last had a really delicious and well made Seafood Pancake and I could confidently say that I had found it. Yay!
