Mario Kitchen @ Liang Seah Street

Mario Kitchen…. what’s a Korean restaurant doing with a name like Mario?

It makes me think of the plumber in red and blue (Nintendo icon Super Mario) and Mario is italian …weird…

Thankfully I think we will never see Luigi (Mario’s brother – the one with the green overalls lol ) Japanese restaurant or something mainly ‘cos Luigi can be mistaken for “LUGI” … no local restaurant will want to lose money

Finally got here when it’s open… When the cat wants korean… you feed her korean.

Not alot of stuff in the menu eh? Steamboat… bbq… etc….

Thought that’s the norm with all korean restaurants?

I WANT THIS!!!

So much for service… where’s the waitress?

Golly… our free side dishes are exactly the same as the ones in the banner
Kimchi… sucked… tasted like detergent
Anchovies… I don’t eat them … so can’t comment
Long beans… weird… crunchy though….

We ordered a combo set… beef bbq and seafood steamboat …

Aly didn’t like the beef bbq thought… she said it had a weird taste… plus she was disappointed that it was like more of a dish rather than actual bbq … this I couldn’t argue with her …
I guess I would’ve had more fun cooking the beef over a bbq…. why call it bbq when it’s not?

Next to arrive was the seafood steamboat… Will the bowl be able to fit all that?

Aly still smiling despite her not liking the beef…. hmm…

Seafood steamboat… VERY bad choice…. will not let Aly make such decisions in the future

What’s inside? Prawns… squid … clams… 2 mussels … and erm… one fish head …

Yes… one fish head…. eeeeks!!!!

First of all… it looked revolting…. secondly… it made the entire dish inedible due to it making the whole soup super fishy both in taste and smell

Bad…really bad… it was so bad… we abandoned the meal, paid up and left …

You guys know me… I hate wasting food and don’t do so if I can help it… I couldn’t help it today

It made the steamboat at Ting Yuan the other day seemed good…

I’m not sure about the other dishes they offer… but our choices were all wrong … sigh…

I’m afraid to come back to try the other stuff after this experience I must say …..

Lucky the beef was at least edible to me … which lifted it’s food rating from 1/2 to 1

Oh… and Aly wasn’t smiling anymore when we left … even the kitty couldn’t stomach the fishy steamboat ……
