The Sizzle, the Torch, and the Flambé: Bulgogi Syo’s 3-Step Grilling Saga

Picture this: You’re seated in a bustling restaurant, the air tinged with the aroma of sizzling meats. But at Bulgogi Syo, this isn’t your average Korean BBQ experience. Here, the grilling process is nothing short of a spectacle – a three-act play starring chicken, pork, and beef.

Act 1: The Sear — Where the Kitchen Becomes a Stage

Even before stepping into the restaurant, your eyes are drawn to the open kitchen. It’s like a culinary theatre where chefs are the performers. First up, meats are seared on an ultra-hot metal plate top, locking in the juices and setting the stage for what’s to come.

Act 2: The Torch — A Fiery Spectacle

Then, the chef whips out what can only be described as a comically oversized flamethrower. Yes, you read that right. As the dancing flames lick each piece of meat, a smoky layer of flavour is added in a process that’s as dramatic as it is delicious.

Act 3: The Flambé — A Tableside Finale

Finally, the pièce de résistance. The server approaches your table with a hot plate laden with your chosen meats. With a flourish, they flambé it with a “special essence” right before your eyes. The result? A smoky, juicy, flavour-packed bite that doesn’t dry out. It’s the grand finale, and it happens right at your table.

All their meats are treated with their 3 step process of being seared, torched and flambé! A meat platter, cheesy fluffy eggs and lychee makgeolli is just too shiok, and that whole mixed combo only goes for $59! 📍Bulgogi Syo, 200 Victoria Street, 02-49, Bugis Junction, Singapore 188021 #wheretoeat #sgfoodie #bulgogi #bbq #foodfestontiktok #flambe #makgeolli #kimchi #eshton

For the best of three worlds, go for the Mixed Combo. With 500g of Angus beef striploin, pork collar, and chicken, it’s a meat lover’s dream. Throw in two servings of rice and a jigae (Korean stew) of your choice, and you’ve got a meal that feeds 2-3 people easily. It’s like a greatest hits album, but for your palate.

Proteins here come in two flavours: Apple Hangari and Spicy Jeyuk, and TikToker @eshtonc raves about the Apple Hangari seasoning. It’s slightly sweet, balancing out the savoury meats in a way that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance. 

Don’t overlook the sides. TikToker @theycallmegenny swears by the seaweed rice, describing it as “very fragrant.” It’s the perfect accompaniment to your meaty main course. Imagine a supporting actor who steals the show; that’s this rice for you.

If you’re a cheese aficionado, the Cheesy Gyeran Jjim is a must-try. It’s a steamed, cheesy egg dish that’s light, fluffy, and creamy. And let’s not forget the ultra-satisfying cheese pull. It’s the Instagram moment you’ve been waiting for.

And we haven’t even talked about the free flow banchan sides! No Korean meal is complete without staples like kimchi and pickled radish, and Bulgogi Syo offers these classics at no extra cost. 

The Bulgogi Syo Experience: More Than Just a Meal

From the open kitchen that turns cooking into a live show to the tableside flambé that seals the deal, Bulgogi Syo is where food and theatre collide. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want a front-row seat to that?
