Food Review: Histori BBQ (Revisited)

1:52 AM Cassan 1 Comments

Probably one of the most underrated BBQ places I've been to. This place deserves great publicity for its well-marinated selection of meat and other ingredients available. Located along the renown stretch of Tajong Pagar with other BBQ places sprouting next to it, Histori BBQ clearly stands out with its authenticity and freshness of food.

We had the buffet lunch and thus it had lesser variety. Still, it was enough for us to stuff ourselves silly!

P.S: The lady boss told us that the kimchi there are all handmade. They strictly do not believe in pre-packed kimchis that are ordered from various suppliers like what other restaurants are doing. \

Histori also serves other side dishes such as Jap Chae (Vermicelli with vegetables) and Dokbokki (Korean Rice Cake).

Prawns and Sotong are also available!

Do give their cod fish tofu a try! One of their specialties which I absolutely love since I visited Histori last year :)

Kimchi and Seafood pancake mix! Yes, we are able to prepare and fry the pancakes ourselves which I felt was a really interesting idea compared to other Korean BBQ restaurants!

Jap Chae and Deokbokki

Soft ice-cream machine!

Desserts which include Watermelon, homemade Milk pudding and homemade jelly

A new type of grill which they changed to! This grill is so much healthier than the ones that uses the aluminium foil. Once the meat is cooked, the oil would trickle to the side and it would drip down to a holder below. This way, the oil would not be concentrated in the middle and you wouldn't have to worry about your meat soaking the oil up!

PRICE: $24.30 (After GST and Service Charge)

Food:

They increased the prices after changing some of the concept but I would still be willing to pay for a standard like this. The meat was marinated well and it was tender and juicy. Histori provided a wide selection of meat (Chicken, Beef and Pork) as well as other seafood items. For pork, they serve bacon, pork belly and even pork ribs! I have always felt that this place is extremely underrated but I'm so glad that that I can now publicize this on my blog. The owner firmly believes in the quality and freshness of food served. Therefore, every item is prepared by hand.

My favorite is still the cod fish tofu as well as the JapChae that we had. They even have an array of side dishes and vegetables for you to choose from!

Service:

Another restaurant which service is commendable. The lady boss was attentive enough to keep checking on us and made sure that we were satisfied with our meal with everything we needed. She even took the time to scrap the burnt remains from our hot plate so that it would be healthier for us to continue grilling. All these definitely made it an enjoyable experience dining at Histori.

Please guys, do do do give this a try! No harm doing so since it's priced really reasonably and the dishes are value for money!

P.S: I wasn't paid to write this.

Toodles! Hope it helped!
