Sing Sing Meat Shop and Restaurant [REVIEW]

 
 
In some days, you just have this strong craving for meat--particularly grilled meat. Who can't resist the sound of the sizzling fat melting away while the meat touches the hot iron grill? Well, I can't! I'm sure one hell of a meat lover myself so I love the thought of grilling scrumptious and juicy meat!

If you want to satisfy your craving for grilled meat + good tasting Korean dishes and you're from the south, Sing Sing Meat Shop and Restaurant might be the one for you. Yes, it's a meat shop. As you enter the establishment, one side of it is a meat shop wherein you can choose and buy from different cuts of quality meat and on the farther side, there are Korean-style tables placed on an elevated floor where you can experience a sure Asian style kind of dining. So, it's a meat shop and a restaurant in one; clever indeed. Plus, the place is clean!

I apologize for not having to take a photo of the shop/restaurant from the outside, at that time, we were just out from our night classes in law school, and we sure are damn hungry! I'm sure Google will help you on this :)

Another apology for not being able to take a photo of the menu--again, the "I'm-too-hungry-to-remember-things" reason applies. Google will again save you :)

But what we had was the unlimited samgyupsal or the unlimited grilled meat paired with several Korean side dishes to compliment it. If you are on a budget but wanted to indulge yourself in eating grilled meat, this one I suggest the most. We opted for a mix of grilled pork belly and beef just so we can have a taste of both. We were charged P380/person for the unlimited samgyupsal meal.
 
When having samgyupsal, the grilled meat is wrapped in a lettuce leaf together with the side dishes of your choice or condiments then just put the whole thing in your mouth. Kinda messy and difficult at first because you have to shove a big wrap of leaf and meat into your mouth--but you'll get the hang of it!
 
beef and pork belly pieces are being grilled in this Korean flat iron grill
 
from the looks of it, you can tell it's a fresh and cleat cut of meat
 
you can't go samgyupsal-ing without the side dishes!
Egg rolls, then some sort of meat patties (torta style), Korean onion chive pancake, and fresh serving of green lettuce leaves
 
kimchi, of course. Tastes good really.
 
I really love this one! I don't know what it is called, but it's a cold salad of shredded lettuce and onion chives I think with sweet and spicy Korean dressing.
 
***side dishes can be refilled twice!***
 

these bowl of boiling soups served in an earthenware came with our unlimited samgyupsal meal.
Top: a spicy broth which I guess is a miso based one
Bottom: a non-spicy broth with fish cakes with very light seasoning
 
our server that night, she helped and assisted us at first in grilling, but then we decided to just grill it ourselves

sorry for my serious face, I was really "into" it

Over all, we had a wonderful experience. Me and my friends were really satisfied by the service of the staff, and the meat was really tasty and fresh. It's not as expensive tasting as it is compared to high end cuts from expensive hotels and restaurant, but I'm sure you'll get your money's worth and your belly full. P380 for an unlimited grilling of beef and pork? Not bad! You can also opt to order chicken if you do not prefer pork or beef.
 
Oh, and did I mention, that after your meal, they offer free hot or iced coffee? Panalo!
 
And do not worry, they do not only offer samgyupsal, there are other dishes offered in their menu just check it out!
 
I'd gladly recommend eating here and I would surely come back.
