Mario is a new Korean place along Liang Seah Street. There was a slight queue for tables when we were there. We ordered the Gam Ja Tang (the waiter explained that it was Korean Bak Kut Teh) and a BBQ Beef side.
The menu described the Gam Ja Tang as "Pork Born soup with potato and vegtable". And extra "nuddle" is $2.50. Spelling aside, the food was excellent and reminded us of the authentic Korean food we had in Seoul. The meat on the pork ribs just fell off the bone. With 2 lime juices, our bill came up to about $50. Which was really reasonable considering that our portions could have fed 3 adults.
The polite waiter told us it was an unexpected crowd tonight, and laughed when he said maybe it is because the two of us were sitting near the door with our sizzling hot dishes.
Dessert was at Ah Chew's across the street, where we met Johnny M and his friend. The cold Fresh milk steamed egg I had was divine. Wifey had the cold Honeydew Sago.
Later my wife commented that she was the only pregnant woman on that street of young people, and joked that maybe she should be home instead. The wife says the darnedest things sometimes.
