High Street is being taken over by restaurants! I see a new restaurant each time I walk that street. I haven noticed U Hang, but never knew what kind of restaurant it was until I did some research online. For some reason, I was guessing it to be a modern Vietnamese restaurant, but I was totally wrong obviously. The 3 of us arrived at about 1300 this saturday, and there was just 1 table dinning, so we didn't have to wait for a table at all. We were greeted by the waitress and brought water.

The restaurant was U shaped with the bar area in the centre. It was kinda a cool set up, because you couldn't really see the tables or anything on the other side of the U, which made it feel like 2 different restaurants with increased privacy. The side that we were on was the side that gave you a peek at the kitchen. You could see the chefs working away.
There is a weekend brunch menu. After studying the menu, we decided on the following dishes:Starter:1. Oyster and Kimchi ($98) I saw a picture on openrice that this dish had 3 oysters, and there were 3 of us , so how perfect was that! However, when it arrived, there was just 1 oyster with some raw bok choi underneath. Okay....no wonder it is called "OYSTER and kimchi" because there really was only ONE oyster. The oyster was served cut in half, and there were about 4 pieces of veggies. The batter of the oyster was rather dense, but still acceptable tastewise. The kimchi bok choy was a creative idea, because how often would you have kimchi prepared this way, but still, for almost $100, this dish was truely a rip off.

Mains: 1. Korean Pancake ($98) The reviews for this dish were all rather negative, so I hesitated whether or not to get this pancake, but this dish turned out to be the best dish of the day! You have a choice of having the pancakes with fermented cherry jam or crispy bacon, and we chose bacon because it seemed more interesting. There were 4 pieces of pancake with 3 very long strips of bacon sandwiched in between each layer. On the top piece of pancake, there was some icing sugar and nuts. Although the menu said walnuts, I'm pretty sure those nuts were almonds? No pancake dish would be complete without syrup, and it was no ordinary syrup, it was rum wine syrup!

2.Kimchi Pork Egg Benedict ($128) Even for a person like me, who doesn't really like egg benedict and fatty pork, I thought this dish was quite tasty. Instead of your usual ham/salmon or bacon, pork belly fried with kimchi was on the well toasted bread. A good egg bendict is usually composed of a fine hollandaise sauce and perfectly cooked eggs. However, while you're eating this, you forget about all that, because the true star is the kimchi and pork. The pork was so crispy and flavourful that in comparison, the hollandaise sauce seemed bland and unecessary. If you can get past this, then you'd enjoy this dish like I did. Eating the kimchi pork with the egg and spinach was very good. The menu said this dish had sesame oil, which made me wonder where the sesame oil was added to. Was it the pork? infused in the hollandsaie sauce? drizzled on the bread or egg? I really couldn't taste it to know.

Final Verdict:
Comparing my experience to other reviews, I get the feeling that the restaurant is not very consistent with its dishes. Also, the menu seems a bit misleading. However, the Korean Pancake will bring me back eventually!
