[CLOSED] Garang Grill

This was served with a bed of iceburg lettuce and green chili.

The bone-in, Korean-style beef short ribs are marinated in a sweet savoury salty ganjang / soy sauce, and pull away easily from the bone with a juicy tender fatty chew.
.
So delicious, especially when paired with the chili.

Was pretty excited to visit this pop up store. Had high expectations! Unfortunately best dish was this and the mao shan wang creme brûlée.

The slices of this pork Jowl was pretty thin as well. Wish it was thicker!

We ordered the crab rilettes, the garang rice, the red platter (lamb and beef was pretty tough) and a barrumundi.

Total damage: $360 (and we were not full) New Ubin’s much better in my opinion!
