SODENG Korean Restaurant 소댕

As I am often the designated person to man the grill when it comes to eating out at a restaurant, I will always appreciate BBQ places that help with the grilling. And at Sodeng, the attentive staff provides the tableside grilling. It even serves the meat with the different banchans straight onto your plate or spoon, ensuring the optimal way to enjoy each bite (I felt like a princess cause we got a private room and I could focus on just eating as well as taking photos - what I am best at).

I had opted for the Fresh Plain Duck ($34/ portion) as it came with more ways to eat (pairing with all the sides and pickles on the table) and because the marinated one was spicy (I am weak). Succulent protein with no gaminess at all! Love the boneless pieces of young duck meat with just the simple seasoning of their house-salted fresh peppercorn. However, I like that every bite of grilled duck here takes on a different flavour and yummy profile.

Like the duck, the beef was served in multiple variations! The Woo-Dae Galbi ($45/ portion) ticked all the right boxes for me. Richer and meatier in flavour. Beautifully marbled. Nicely marinated, the bone-in beef ribs also boast a tenderness with the perfect balance of sweetness and savoury. Think delicious bites of seared quality beef with tangy white kimchi, with crunch cabbage, seafood sauce and with melted cheese. So shiok~ [Note that the galbi requires a minimum order of 2 portions but the amount is definitely manageable to finish]
