One of the must try in their MOA Restrobar menu is the MOA unique hotstone grill. This Hotstone Grilled Meat Set (promo price $99.96, U.P $117.60) comes with two premium meat mix – premium wagyu ribeye and Duroc Pork Collar (also crowned as “Black Angus of pork”).
Unlike normal electric bbq grill or charcoal grill, MOA Restrobar uses an unique hotstone to grill these premium meats. The advantage of their hotstone grill is that the hotstone is extremely hot and sears the meat quickly upon contact. The meat juices are locked in resulting in a superbly juicy, tender bite and lightly golden brown on the outside. The hotstone also imparts an earthy and natural flavours to these premium meats making them extra enjoyable and sustainable experience like Korean outdoor camping.
This Hotstone Grilled Meat Set for 2pax to share comes with a hotstone with mix grill of Duroc Pork collar and wagyu ribeye, cheese steamed egg, a choice of kimchi soup, tofu soup or bean paste soup, 2 rice, 6 daily banchan side dishes, lettuce, seasoned perilla leaf and 2 special sauce. The special sauce is one dip of salt, pepper, garlic sauce and an unique thick spicy clear sauce.
Here’s MOA Restrobar reviews after trying some of their signature Korean dishes. This Korean Restaurant at Robinson Road has some of the most sought after Korean food we see in Kdrama and Korean camping vlogs. As recommended by their chef owner, their daily sold out best seller beef bulgogi bibimbap and the popular Hotstone Grilled Meat Set is the “bomb” in Korean slang.
This is their head chef who is trained by Jeju Island’s ex- 5 star hotel Korean chef. This is how the signature MOA unique Hotstone Grill meat is prepared. The hotstone is heated till red hot on a stove and steak cut thick Duroc Pork Collar is then added.
With the pork grease, the wagyu ribeye is then added to sear quickly on the hotstone. This is then served piping hot to the diner tables to be enjoyed immediately. The meats are seasoned with a simple salt and black pepper to bring out that savoury and umami meat flavours.
The hotstone grilled bbq meats has good balanced ratio of fats and tender marbled meats. They are best enjoyed with a lettuce wrap, seasoned garlic cloves and seasoned perilla leaf. Chase the hearty meat wraps with their appetizing banchans and washes everything down with a cup of free flow warm Korean barley tea.
If you are those who shy away from asking for refills of banchan, this is for you. For lunch, you can pick and choose your own free flow banchan from their banchan bar. There are a total of 8 types of banchan you can pick and choose daily. This free flow banchan and Korean barley tea are available for all the set meals in the menu. For dinner, you can let the servers know your preferred banchan, they will get the free flow banchan for your set meals.
During our visit, their banchan selections are garlic scapes with anchovies and nuts, ripe kimchi, cucumber kimchi, seasoned perilla leaves, soybean sprouts and cabbages, eomuk (Korean fish cake) and carrots, mashed potato salad and more. Do note that their banchan are on a rotating menu daily. The variety of banchan makes one feel pampered like eating at halmeoni’s (Korean grandma) home.
Samgye-Tang ($17.90) aka Korean Ginseng Chicken Leg Quarter Soup consists of a large whole chicken leg simmered in a deep and rich ginseng soup with an insane ginseng aroma. The dates are used whole with seeds imparting a natural sweetness to the broth. The broth has a mildly bitter, earthy flavours which we enjoyed with the sweet onion flavours from the leeks. The soup feels nourishing and comforting. The ginseng used to brew the soup is believed to be good for the immune system, helps relieve fatigue and an energy booster. This comes in a set with free fow banchan, Korean tea and 1 rice.
This is MOA Restrobar Budae Jjigae aka army stew ($45) a sharing jeongol (hotpot) for 2-4 pax. This dish is loaded with ingredients such as pork ham, luncheon meat, chicken sausage, rice cake tteokbokki, fish cake eomuk, tofu, cheese, stir fried kimchi and ramen in a thick pork broth.
There are also a good amount of enoki, sweet white onions, garlic and halved hardboiled egg. To state that this is for 4 pax to share is an understatement, the amount of ingredients is generous. The pot is filled with ingredients and the broth is filled to the brim. These are all served atop a portable stove to keep it simmering hot and nice while we dig in. We left with our tummy full and happy.
Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap ($16.90) is one of their best sellers that are sold out daily. This is especially popular due to the wide variety of ingredients used. In this beef bulgogi bibimbap pot you can find marinated beef bulgogi, carrots, mushroom, lettuce, soy sprouts, cabbage, rice and egg.
This comes in a set together with seaweed soup, lettuce and seasoned crispy laver. You can use the lettuce as a wrap after you mix the bibimbap. This bibimbap is served in a dolsot (hot stone pot) and served with an interesting crackling sound on our table. This crackling sound is the actually rice grains toasted by the red hot stone bowl. When you are done with bibimbap, you can scrap the bottom of the pot for lightly charred, crunchy and chewy nurungji (scorched rice). If you have not try nurungi before, do give this a try.
Pork Belly Jjajang Myeon ($18.90) consist of some chewy noodles in a concoction of sinful rich caramelised Korean black bean paste sauce, flambéed braised pork belly, cool cucumbers and a sunny side up egg. Mix all these well for a slurp-worthy Jjajang Myeon. If you are craving for Korean style Jjajang Myeon – a must have dish for Koreans housewarming – do get this together with the bibimbap and tteokbokki army stew. This Jjajang Myeon represents a new fresh beginning and good wishes.
