Been wanting to try this for quite sometime and when travel kakis mentioned dinner, this was presented as one of the options. And, since this post is here, means we had our dinner there! Thank you Ivan for making the reservation. It's been a while since Tracy, Hence, Ivan and myself gathered.

Not sure what magic did Ivan cast when making the reservation, but our table happened to be inside a private room. Cool!
 |
| maybe staff already guessed that we needed a larger table to fit in all the food? |

Once the food order was placed, staff very quickly brought out the banchans. I was pretty impressed by the speed of service!

My favourite side dish were the kimchi and the fried potato snack.
Wanted to try their gukbap but then it was only available for lunch. So we ordered the gogi guksu (meat noodles) instead.

I enjoyed the somyeon and the light broth. Comforting taste and warms the tummy.
 |
| Dombe Gogi (Large) @$45 |
Boiled pork, sliced and served on a cutting board. Served with lettuce, sliced garlic and green pepper. Can dip with salt or ssamjang.

| Black Pork Belly BBQ @$28 |
The BBQ pork belly was grilled in the kitchen and brought to our table. The grilled fragrance was delicious. If you like slightly chewy meat, then this one is for you. My favourite was the dombe gogi for its tender meat and natural flavours.
The dombe does bring back the memories of Jeju. We chatted, we reminisced as we ate.

| Modak-Chigi @$37 |
I had wanted to try modak-chigi in Jeju but didn't have the opportunity. Modak chigi (모닥치기) is said to be a popular Jeju street food, and it is a combination of different snacks like tteokbokki, gimbap, mandu, twigim (fried items), and somyeon.
The modak chigi at Jeju Sanghoe had rice balls with seaweed, gimmari, prawn tempura, fried mandu, tteokbokki, ramyeon, and donkatsu (pork cutlet). I was surprised by the noodles. Sweet, spicy and likeable texture. Do eat it while it is hot otherwise, it'll clump together when cooled. Donkatsu was thick and well-fried. Pork was a tad tough though. Gimmari was crisp on its outside and I realised that if there's extra tteokbokki sauce to dip in, then that'll be even better. Maybe next time I can try requesting for that.
Funnily, no one remembered the abalone porridge, so when the door opened and staff brought this bowl in, we were shocked. Haha!

| Abalone Porridge @$30 |
While I wasn't a fan of abalone porridge during our Jeju trip, the version at Jeju Sanghoe was tasty! Abalone texture was just right (not too crunchy, not too soft), porridge temperature was good (means hot), obvious sesame fragrance and overall seasoning done well.
It's such a treat to have abalone bits in every bite of the porridge.
Overall, service was fast and efficient. Kudos to the staff. My favourite dishes and will order again, are the dombe gogi and abalone porridge.
Thank you Ivan, Tracy and Hence for the great evening and the quick catch-up.
