Chi-Bing

Super excited to have a more budget friendly Korean restaurant to go to at Star Vista.
i think because it’s so new to the mall and hidden in a corner, it was not crowded at all on a Friday evening.
there were 5 of us so we ordered 2 main dishes (min 2 servings required for each main dish) — Zzu Sam and Hot Dak. these main dishes came with a serving each of steamed egg and it was a great appetizer to have on a rainy day. they came bubbling and steaming hot so be careful not to burn yourself. my favourite of the two was Zzu Sam — small octopus with pork belly. we also ordered additional sides of mozzarella cheese, rice cake and instant noodle to be cooked together. the frying action was all done on the table before your eyes; think Yooganae. the pork belly was juicy thick and the octopus were fresh and chewy. totally love this dish! sure wish i can bring my own packet of mozzarella cheese because what they served ($ 3.90 per portion) was not enough for me. the Hot Dak wasn’t bad in any way, just that i like octopus better than chicken. the chicken pieces were juicy and tender so if you are a chicken fan, you’re in for some yumminess.
the staff were friendly, responsive and attentive. i do have to point out that it’s a shame that one of the servers didn’t know the technique to serving beer out of the bottle. i feel bad for the folks who had to gush down foam before getting to the half filled glass of beer. i didn’t have any alcohol but a citron smoothie — it was refreshing and great with my meal. a friend who ordered strawberry smoothie said hers was a tad too sweet.
currently Chi-​bing is having a promotion. You just have to tag them on facebook or instagram to get a free portion of fried rice for whatever main dish you order.
