Kankoku Butechige Nabe from Watami

That was a bit of a letdown. See, when I saw this on the menu at Watami, I wondered if maybe a Japanese interpretation of budae jjigae might be as interesting as other Japanese interpretations of foreign food, like yakiniku or ramen. Unfortunately, this was not, and was quite a yawner.

Maybe that was a function of Watami itself (the overseas chain doesn't seem to have the standards of the one up in Japan). Either way, I'm not coming back for this. If I want budae jjigae, I'll go hit up one of the millions of Korean shops that have opened up in Tanjong Pagar.
