When it comes to indulging in the best Korean BBQ experience in Singapore, SEORAE Korean Charcoal BBQ is always my top choice. Recently, they’ve added an exciting new item to their menu – the Hangari Dry-Aged Meat!
Picture this: the traditional Korean claypot, Hangari, usually reserved for fermenting goodies like gochujang and kimchi, has been repurposed in the most delicious way possible. SEORAE is using it for fermentation dry-aging, transforming premium Duroc Chestnut Pork Belly (Samgyeobsal) into a heavenly dish. Don’t let the term “pork belly” deter you; samgyeobsal boasts the perfect meat-fat ratio for dry-aging and is a beloved cut among Singaporeans.
The choice of Duroc Chestnut-fed pigs is a testament to SEORAE’s dedication to exceptional quality. These pigs are known for their succulence and impressive marbling, striking an exquisite balance between natural sweetness and savory notes. Incorporating chestnuts into the pig’s diet adds layers of protein, healthy fatty acids, and vitamins, enhancing the overall nutritional value.
Aged within the Hangari claypot at a controlled 3℃, the Hangari Dry-Aged Meat undergoes a meticulous fermentation process, infused with three fermentation essences. This method breaks down the pork, resulting in a luxuriously melt-in-your-mouth texture and an exceptional dry-aged Duroc Chestnut Pork. The three fermentation essences add unmatched umami depth, creating a unique taste profile that tantalizes the taste buds.
Imagine the sizzle as the staff expertly cuts the meat into bite-sized pieces at your table – it’s not just a feast for your taste buds, but also for your eyes! Eat the pork belly in a Korean Ssam style by wrapping it with a piece of crunchy fresh lettuce and kimchi. Warning: returning to regular pork belly might prove challenging after this extraordinary experience!
But the feast doesn’t end there. SEORAE continues to delight patrons with its Signature Korean Galmaegisal, a premium pork skirt meat marinated and massaged for 30 minutes in a delectable blend of Korean spices. Once reserved for Korean royalty, Galmaegisal has become a must-have on every local Korean BBQ enthusiast’s table. The flavours are so rich, and the meat is incredibly tender – it’s like wagyu beef, but better!
SEORAE’s commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients remains unwavering. The restaurant insists on sourcing from the best farms globally, ensuring that scale and cost never compromise taste and quality. Additionally, SEORAE’s blend of marinades and sauces, crafted in their Korean kitchen, coupled with a 30-minute marination massaging process for Galmaegisal, guarantees an unforgettable taste.
SEORAE’s special ‘circle grilling’ technique also allows you to dig into silky steamed egg and fiery grilled kimchi at the same time. Cheese lovers may also transfer the mozzarella cheese into one of the grill compartments, and watch the cheese melt into a luscious smooth texture. Continually mix the melted cheese with the tongs till you get a smooth consistency. Then, roll the pieces of Galmaegisal in the creamy molten cheese, over and over again, to coat the meat with as much cheese as possible! Needless to say, and I’m sure that you’ve expected it, the combination was divine.
You must also give the Iberico Rare-Cut Tasting Platter a try. This selection features exceptional Iberico pork cuts, known for their superior quality and marbling. Each cut—Abanico, Rib Finger, Skirt Meat, Jowl, and Pork Tongue—exhibits unique marbling, with the Jowl boasting the highest marbling among them. SEORAE enhances these cuts further by marinating them to perfection.
To complement these extraordinary meats, SEORAE uses 100% premium white charcoal, Binchotan. This choice guarantees intense and consistent heat, grilling each piece of meat to perfection, achieving the ideal texture, tenderness, and smokiness that defines Korean BBQ excellence.
Diner can also get an unlimited flow of ban chan (side dishes) such as kimchi, macaroni and pumpkin, when you dine there.
Conveniently located in six major shopping malls across Singapore, each SEORAE outlet offers an authentic Korean BBQ experience. You can enjoy this feast in a comfortable, air-conditioned setting without breaking a sweat.
