Ssikkek Korean BBQ Buffet

Wrap in vegetables or accompany it with kimchi or cook some enoki! Ssikkek- My recent favorite hangout place after a tiring day at work! I just went again yest

The vermicelli was a little disappointing as the noodles was a bit too chewy and doesn't have any plus points to make us go wow over it. Love the pancake and hotpot, being a very critical eater who always emphasize that food that meant t
