An Instant Hit @ Bulgogi Syo (Woodleigh), Singapore
Newly opened, you can a unique 3-step hotstone grill concept directly imported from Korea at Bulgogi Syo.
You may not know, “Bul” means fire, “Gogi” means meat and “Syo” means show. I guess you can figure out what the restaurant’s name Bulgogi Syo means. When I was there on a weekday for lunch, there was a long of around 20 pax waiting for a table.
What sets Bulgogi Syo apart from other Korean restaurants is it unique three-step process of cooking meats – Sear, Torch and Flambé.
The first step “Sear” includes sizzling the meats on a Korean-imported hot-stone pan. The searing seals in the sweet juices of the choice meats.
The second step “Torch” involves using the “Fire Blaster” (a large blowtorch) to char the meat. Besides delivering beautiful colour to the meat, the Fire Blaster, with its exceptionally high temperatures, cooks the meat almost instantly to preserve its freshness.
The third step “Flambé” is performed at your table. You can witness this dining specrtacle when you order any Syo special. When the Syo Specials arrives on individual hot pans heated to 180 degrees, the Fire Masters flambé the meat right in front of you.

The one and only Duroc Pork Belly with perfect meat and fat combination and that delicious sweetness. The rice was delicious too. The free flow Banchan consisting of kimchi and baby tomatoes, provided the right balance.

Mussels, prawns and squid in spicy Korean seafood broth

I tried the Seafood Jjampong. The sweet seafood broth was only mildly spicy and perfectly balanced by the cucumber slices. .
Bacon Kongnamul Pancake $15.90
Bacon and beansprouts pancake.
I like this pancake a lot. It is savoury (from the bacon) but light (from the beansprouts).
