Bornga, rated as one of the best Korean BBQ restaurant in Singapore, I love Korean food and they serve authentic Korean traditional dishes, so I decide to try this restaurant. Experiences we had in this restaurant was bad, but food was good.
The greens to go along with the BBQ meat, wrap wrap *
Woosamgyup – $22 / 200g
The BBQ begins, cooked by the server.
Sizzling....
We love the pork bellies, well it's good for your skin. Unlike those really fatty parts this is a good cut of pork. They keep the recipe really simple, full of taste from the fresh cut of meat. One fear about having BBQ is you will probably end up smelling like cooked meat after. We ordered a plate of Woosamgyup (above), a Kimchi soup and a Bibimbap to share, we can't wait to leave this restaurant, that is why we didn't take any pictures as we was offended by a employee.
There is a server, she's not a waitress, her role is taking food out of kitchen to the waitress. The server, who took the dish to our table said "Why order so many things? How you expect to finish?" and server start shaking her head in a really rude way. We kept quiet and the server left after she done her job, my sister and I look at our dining table. With a Kimchi soup, a rice and small place of meat, which is suppose to be combination of a normal meal.
So I asked the waitress, "do we really ordered a lot?"
She said "No, actually. Because over here we normally have customer we order more meat instead of other dishes, so probably looks a lot to her (the server) and she's normally not like that towards customer."
Author Note:
Truthfully, food was good. Do try if you like good BBQ pork, but my rating for this restaurant will be the lowest. A place where I will never visit again. Dining experience is important in all expects, not just the food itself. Doesn't have to be excellent customer service but making the diners feel comfortable. Because of the bad service, I personally think it's slightly over-price, and reviews was over-rated.
