Last night we took the hotel boat across the river to River City for dinner. It has been about six years since I last ate at the River City B-Q Corner.

Anyway, at this Korean type B-Q restaurant a bucket of hot coals is brought to the table and it is lowered into a hole in the center of the table. It is then covered with a copper grilling dome upon you place various meats and things to cook and simmer (*). Ample sauces accompany the whole process.

(*) The dome has a recessed lip that allows a circle of broth to boil around the meat. Here noodles and vegetables find a cooking home.

Nice pics corkscrew, that type of table BBQ is used in Thailand cooking and in Laos as well, usually in cheap aluminum though. The top is used to cook thin pork strips and the broth is used for cabbage and even eggs. The Thais here sit it on a clay open top stove and sit around it pinching each others bits of meat and ladling the broth onto boiled rice in small bowl. I call it a "Mexicans hat" BBQ.

I adore Korean food, living in a very Korean part of Seoul (Apkujong Dong [sp,]) for two and a half years does that to you Actually I lived near the 'Dartfort Pool and Snooker Club' the only full-size snooker table in town (apparently).

Unfortunately my Thai wife doesn't like Korean so I only get to eat it when I'm overseas (yet to find a good one in Delhi).

Interestingly a Korean barbecue is recently opened near our place in Bangkadi, maybe I'll persuade the missus to try it next time I'm home, being out in the sticks it may be sufficiently Thai that she'll like it.

I don't particularly like Korean food, but my wife does which means I eat it often. There is a good Korean restaurant in Times Sq. in Bangkok (across from Robinsons). I am not sure of the name of it, but it is the restaurant you see when you enter from the second floor via the skytrain connection. I think it is named Korean BBQ, or something like that.

Does this place serve dogmeat?

that really isnt a korean bbq. that looks just like bbq plaza. lol.

Very good authentic Korean resto with a great deal...
