Beef lovers, like myself, would definitely enjoy their Beef Short Rib ($32.80) sotbap. Tender and so well-marinated, the Australia Beef Short Rib tasted premium, especially with my choice of fluffy five-grain rice. Said to be flavoured with Korean pear and soy sauce (sweet and savoury), the protein was grilled perfectly will some charred edges to the succulent cut. Topped with a beautiful luscious egg yolk, the pot also contained roasted sesame seeds, chopped spring onions, gingko nuts and plenty of mushrooms. So good even without the accompanying sauce.
Exceeding my expectations, Sagye’s Lunch menu was great (psst, much better than the previous one I reviewed, in my opinion). Available only between 11.30am to 3pm (their last order at 2.30pm), the Korean Pot Rice sets were of good value, each coming with a soup of the day (on the day we had a mildly spicy kimchi tofu soup) and side dishes.
The Pork ($21.80) sotbap was well-executed and had a chockful of ingredients. With a little more charred flavour, the grilled Pork collar and Pork rib was like a classic done right - deliciously textured with a slightly fatty chew. Nicely flavoured, the toothsome pork was wonderfully balanced with the bed of Japanese rice with cubes of sweet potatoes and ginkgo nuts. The addition of deeply earthy Korean bracken (gosari) was a fantastic touch too. A hearty, comforting choice.
