Gengis Khan

From meat, vegetables, sauces, salads, breads and soups, to pancakes and ice cream, the buffet spread at Gengis Khan has got to be one of the most extensive I have seen! As the name suggests, it’s named after the Mongolian warrior, Genghis Khan. The food itself isn’t Mongolian, but apparently this is how Genghis Khan fed his army after a brutal battle. Fun fact, huh?
The basic concept of the Mongolian BBQ is simple. First, you fill a bowl up with raw meats (namely chicken, beef, lamb, and seafood), vegetables, sauces, oils and noodles. I’m not too much of a meat expert but I thought their meats were of fairly good quality. Then, you take it up to the chefs manning the huge hotplate in the middle of the restaurant, and watch them cook your selection to perfection (hey, that rhymed)! There is also fried rice and white rice available, as well as garlic bread, baked root vegetables and soups. For the vegetarians out there, not only do they have a wide range of vegetables that can be cooked by the chefs, there are plenty of fresh selections at the salad bar.
To round your meal off, you can get the chefs to dish you up a pancake. If you ask nicely, they might even be able to make you one in the shape of Mickey Mouse. The pancakes are probably my highlight of the dining experience — super fluffy and they also have a variety of toppings and ice cream which you can put on them.
The downside of this place is that it is quite small and it does get very busy. There will be times where you have to wait a while for the chef to cook your meal — my longest wait was nearly 30 minutes!
Overall, the atmosphere of Gengis Khan is exciting, although a little noisy at times. Considering that you can eat all to your heart’s content, the price is quite reasonable. It is a casual, family-​friendly restaurant, so it’s definitely more suited for family gatherings. I frequented this place quite often during my high school years, but I feel like I’ve ‘grown out of it’… mainly because most of their patrons are either families or large groups of teenagers.
Just make sure that you go hungry!
