It was a Saturday lunch meat up, and Tracy suggested "Jeonpo Meat Shop". Located at The Clift, just opposite of Amoy Street Food Center. Reservation was made two days prior.

Arrived earlier than reserved time, and was greeted promptly by staff upon entering the restaurant. However, we had some minor miscommunication and staff thought I was a walk-in customer although had informed them that we have a reservation. No worries, as that was sorted out within minutes.
I felt that the floor was a tad slippery on the day of visit (probably due to my shoe soles) and had to walk in slow-mo or step on those mat squares. Now that I am entering old age, need to be careful.

As usual, all the necessary utensils such as drinking cups, cutleries, water bottle are all located on your own table.

| having sixth sense that the group will be ordering this |
There is a QR code at the corner to the table to scan for menu. However, we discovered that some of the items in the hardcopy menu seemed to be missing from the app. Hence, we ended up placing the orders with the staff. Ordered Pork and Beef Set (@$140++) which comprises of pork jowl, pork belly and king-cut beef shortribs. Added additional portion (150gms) of pork jowl (@$31++). We'll also be having seafood pancake and japchae.
After which, tray of side dishes were served to the table. For a group of 5 pax, we got 2 trays.

| juicy kimchi |
My favourites were the kimchi and the soy-pickled radish. The pickled green chili was spicy but shioks!
 |
| shredded cabbage with black sesame dressing |
Staff will help to grill the meats, so one can just sit back and enjoy the end results.

Meat was firm with a good bite. Enjoy it with lettuce and there's coarse sea salt, ssamjang or garlic sauce.

Keke, we were having a debate on whether the garlic sauce had some kind of fruit in it (we were guessing like pear, mango or pineapple) only to have the staff coming back to inform, nope no fruit in there. Hahaha!

I had "Jeonpo Highball" to go along with the meal. It turned out to be a ginger-ale based highball.

Pork belly was quickly grilled up and it was gone as soon as it was served.

Personally, I felt that the japchae and seafood pancake portion were smaller than expected. Nevertheless, the japchae was loaded with meat and we enjoyed the well-fried flavours.

Seafood pancake had plenty of chives/spring onions and some small shrimps with bits of squid. The batter was soft in the insides.

Finale of the grilled meats was the King-cut Beef Shortribs.

It is hard to go wrong with beef shortribs. Loved that it was served chunky and that one bite was a good one. Flavourful on its own.
Thank you Ivan, Elle, Tracy and Hence for the meat up~
