MiMi Korean BBQ @ 2 Peck Seah Street

0 comments

It was our annual Christmas gathering and Gina wanted to eat Korean BBQ. Searched for new places via Google and I found one that none of us had been before, plus it accepts reservation. There's options for buffet or ala-carte. For the buffet, everyone at the table need to take the same and limited to 90-minutes session. Pricing is reasonable for $34.50+ on Fri-Sun, PH and eve of PH. On other days, it is just $29.50+. Do check directly from the restaurant's website for updated pricing.

Anyhow, we shall decide once we are there!

Reservation was fuss free and was contacted by the restaurant staff on the day of the reserved date a few hours prior to our visit.

A tumbler of cold roasted barley tea was served as soon as you're seated. Observed that majority of diners on that Friday evening, would come by around 730pm onwards.

Decided to take up Premium Set A (@$129+) for more beefy options! Beef short rib (boneless), ribeye, marinated beef and short plate. 4 different cuts of beef to satisfy our cravings! Also ordered a Seafood Pancake to try.

Once done, staff will help to turn on the grill and pour the egg onto the sides of the grill. Banchans were also served immediately after we ordered the mains.

The meat served here looked good! Wasn't expecting the beef short plate to be of such a big piece and this is the same thing served for buffet! Wow, I'm sold! The marbling for the ribeye and the boneless short rib were really nice.

Premium Set A (@$129+) - marinated short ribs, short plate, ribeye, boneless short rib, sausage, onions, mushrooms

let it sizzle

There was a small piece of fat provided amongst the sliced onions, and I guess we were supposed to use that to oil the grill. Didn't notice it hence, in all our eagerness (plus hungry tummies), we just placed the short plates directly onto the grill. It was fatty enough to not stick to the grill.

And of course, how could we miss out on some soju and beer combo? I like it at 1:2.5 ratio.

Seafood Spring Onion Pancake @$27+

While the Seafood Pancake had a lovely batter that's crisp on its outer side and not doughy/mushy on its inside, it could do with more seafood.

Personally, I felt that the best texture and flavour for the meat, goes to short ribs! 

It was a filling meal for the 3 of us ladies, and there's complimentary mini yakult for diners after their meal. Self-service from the cooler-box near entrance.

We spent $67 per pax and had an enjoyable meal. Staff was polite and helpful. Will return to try other things next time!

Thank you Florence and Gina for the many years of friendship! See you next time.

[Tasting] New Drinks and Tasty Eats at George Town Tze Char & Craft Beer @ 81 Boat Quay

0 comments

Back for more Hitachino Nest (bottled craft beer), and this time round, managed to try the Red Rice Ale. Previous visit, I had the Dai Dai and also a sip of White Ale. Wouldn't that means, 3 out of the 4 flavours tasted? My favourite is now the Red Rice (红曲米) Ale. It has a definitive fragrance of the red rice, mildly sweet and refreshing. Plus, very good price during Happy Hour. Cheers indeed!

bevy of beauties - bottled craft from Japan

Brewdog Bottled Craft Beer from UK


For food to go with the drinks, we had the small squares of golden brown homemade chestnut tofu, and freshly fried. Yummy! However, there was less of the crunchy chestnut that I enjoyed from the previous visit.

Crispy Chef's Homemade Chestnut Beancurd @ $12++

introducing Chuga Soju with Milkis

Salted Egg Yolk Soft Shell Crab would be perfect munchies for the beer.

Happy to see soju on the menu, so we tried the lychee, green grape and watermelon flavour, in preferential order. Happy Hour promo, one gets 3 bottles for $36++. Mix it with cold Milkis for a change.

On rainy days, the best thing to eat would be Claypot Mutton Stew with Beancurd and Radish. A pot of well braised tender mutton with a good chew but the surprise was in the radish. Bursting with savoury satisfying flavours! Drizzle all the 'zup' onto a bowl of steamed rice and relish in simple pleasures. It was like a putting the final piece of the puzzle together. So good. No funky business here, only tasty stuffs.

Penang Laksa Steamed Fish Head @$28++

If you missed eating assam laksa, why not give Penang Laksa Steamed Fish Head a try. This newer version has been slightly tweaked.

Next dish, was a good sized Tilapia for the Penang Crispy Fish. Loved the crisp edges of the fish and remember to scoop the sauce from underneath the fish. This dish paired well with beer as well as soju, and I'd reckon some red too. Just that I wasn't drinking any red wine that night. Hey, it's just Monday!

For the finale, we were served the Golden Chicken. It is special because underneath the chicken skin, there's a layer of fish paste. The result was a pleasant surprise due to the difference in texture and taste, yet still maintained a familiarity from the crisp roasted chicken skin. 

Golden Chicken - $20/$38 for half/whole chicken

I enjoyed the refreshing soju, cold beers (bottled craft/tap) paired with tasty tze char food. From what I've tried, it paired quite well so far. Try it and do share if there's any particular combination that stood out to recommend to others.

Thank you Jennifer for the invite, Charles for your kind hospitality and George Town Tze Char for hosting the dinner.
