Kumgang Gonie makes you sing with its cute karaoke cabins, traditional mezzanine seating and on-table barbecue

When copied Korean music and films feel so good, imagine how well the real stuff must taste. The all new Kumgang Gonie, a Korean specialty spot propelled by a team of owners, chefs and designers from the great peninsula itself, proves quite a try if your tastebuds are up for some adventure. Here's dwelling on the bows and wows.

Food: The manager, head chef and other members of the staff are natives of the country in question. So, we suggest you ask for an English-speaking attendant for all the explanations, unless of course, you've prepared yourself with all that gourmet gyaan in advance. Next, get ready to drop inhibitions and smell fish.

Prawn, salmon and vegetable skewers were laid out on the electric barbecue built within our table, allowing us the aroma and pleasure of choosing just the crispness we wished for. The pungent wasabi, along with a softer garlic dip, proved a worthy accomplice.

We found the hot convex pan dangerous for toddler-armed visitors, though. Modeumkkoji (Rs 1,200), a combination of succulent chicken, mutton, prawns, scallops, and red and green capsicum in Korean sauce, came up second, and delightfully so.

Fancy flying fish caviar in glistening gold perched beside our plates, but there were better things to be devoured. We also tried Dakgalbigui (Rs 700), grilled boneless chicken in chilli paste, and Modeum Chobap (Rs 1,800), an assorted sushi platter, recommended only for those with a fanatic fetish for eastern exotica.

Those who'd rather keep it simple wouldn't mind munching on Modom Twigim (Rs1,600), a mix of deep fried crispy prawns, broccoli and onions served with other veggies, teamed with kimchi salad (Rs 100), an add-on worth its tang. The dessert department is dry, with only seasonal fruits (Rs 300) in store. Nevertheless, healthy makes us happy.
