We were back in Johor Bahru (once again) earlier this March for a quick weekend getaway. Recently, we have been exploring the cuisine around Mount Austin as the area has gradually developed into another food heaven!
We chanced upon Myeong Dong Korean Restaurant which offers All You Can Eat BBQ buffet at an attractive price. RM22 for Adult (less than SGD 8) and RM12 for children (~ SGD4.50). I was a little skeptical about it but we were attracted by the pricing and decided to give it a try.
Taking the flight of stairs up, we stepped into Myeong Dong. The space is not very big and it was pretty crowded during dinner time. The major setback during our visit then was the heat. The air-condition seems to have broken down and the entire restaurant felt like a furnace. While there were fans to help ventilate and cool the area, it was not enough.
While waiting for our seats, it is also visibly noticeable that the restaurant is short-handed. The food selection displayed on the counter tops is limited and it took some time to refill. Even the cutlery and bowls were all taken and diners have to wait for the clean ones to be put out.
It may sound disappointing but for the price that we are paying, we would love to try out the food still.
We finally got our seats, grabbed whatever meat that is left in the trays and Hubby started bbq-ing. We got some kimchi soup and started heating it up as well. You can choose to put the noodles in to make some kimchi noodles too.
Overall, we had a satisfying meal. We did not mind waiting a little longer for the cutlery and food to be refilled. The food tasted fine and it was filling. There are definitely areas that Myeong Dong is lacking, and the food selection is limited, but we are not complaining as the price is really cheap. My only discomfort is the hotness dining at Myeong Dong, if only the air-condition is working, we do not mind re-visiting again for another meal. Hopefully, there will be improvements in our next visit.

Let's have a quick look at the food section
Kimchi soup, rice, noodles and bottles of chilli sauce. It would be nice if homemade sauces were served instead.
Green/vegetable section
Meat section - If you are a big fan of pork, this may be to your liking as it is an all pork selection in the trays. It comes with different cuts and marinated in different sauces
(Green Tea Pork, Marinated Pork BBQ, Spicy Sauce Pork, Pork Shoulder, Garlic Pork, Wine Pork, Curry Pork, Pork Belly)

BBQ-ing in process.
Our all pork meal
Drinks are not inclusive in the buffet price, hence you can order them from the menu.
All diners get to have one free cup of ice-cream. Diners can pay RM1 for each additional cup of ice-cream.
