At one stage a big group came in, started tucking in to the soup and kim chi, and then the lady came out from the kitchen with an enormous pot that she plopped down in the middle and everyone started helping themselves. It must be lonely in Australia as a student far away from home, but it seems like here they can get a "taste of home" in every sense.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-17871445208463471322012-09-21T08:08:03.364+10:002012-09-21T08:08:03.364+10:00I reckon it's changed with the owners...

I know what you mean about the Army Stew. Don't hate me but I love it too HAHA. Sry, just can't resist. Kid at heart. But glad to hear your meal was enjoyable. Love that they cater to the students too.

The beef bulgogi was a bit tough to our liking but we may give it another chance one of these days when we feel like Korean and are too lazy to drive further.Willsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-35448607529544350682012-09-11T20:46:06.218+10:002012-09-11T20:46:06.218+10:00We've been before as it's so close to our ...We've been before as it's so close to our home but it was pretty ordinary.

The spicing was not right and the quality of meat cuts was awful. But I hold out some hope since you say that new owners have been there for only a few weeks... deserves another try :)<br /><br />The cutest thing about this restaurant (although maybe this has changed with the new owners) was that they had a kitchen garden of parilla and other leaves in polystyrene containers out in the rear carpark behind the shops!Macphersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-18108234053283522472012-09-11T16:36:24.312+10:002012-09-11T16:36:24.312+10:00This is very good news.

Such seeming potential ... yet the Indian place that used to be Southern Spice has closed, as has - I think - the mixed Asian/Korean BBQ place across the road.

That stretch of shops does seem a little down and out doesn't it? But I have high hopes that at some point in time something will give and it will thrive.Temasekhttp://www.temasek68.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
