Bulgogi Syo (Vivocity)

If you’re looking for a hearty Korean feast, the Bulgogi Syo Trip-Meat Combo is perfect for sharing between 2 to 3 people. Take your pick between the Pork Combo at $59 or the Mixed Combo at $65, both offering 550g of meat and an exciting flambe show to elevate your dining experience.

Each combo also comes with a generous spread of sides, including:

  • A free jjigae (worth $16.90)
  • A vegetable platter
  • 2 bowls of seaweed rice

It’s a sizzling meal that will satisfy, making it an excellent choice for a fun and flavorful gathering!

I visited Bulgogi Syo's Vivocity outlet to try their Mixed Combo meal, and as expected, the place was buzzing with energy. The restaurant was almost full house shortly after we settled in — a clear sign of its popularity!

At Bulgogi Syo, diners can enjoy a free-flow banchan counter, adding even more variety to the meal.

Spacious Environment

 We helped ourselves to a selection of side dishes, including pickled radish, macaroni cream with potato, kimchi, and cherry tomatoes, a refreshing mix of flavors to complement the rich, smoky meats.

The Green Apple Yakult Mocktail Mix was a delightful refresher, offering a crisp and tangy contrast that perfectly balanced the richness of the meal. It made for a light and invigorating finish, cleansing the palate with each sip!

The vegetable platter arrived sizzling on a hot plate, featuring a colorful mix of sweet pumpkin slices, onion slices, kimchi, and egg, a delightful medley of flavors and textures. Alongside, we enjoyed the delicious seaweed rice that came with the meal, which paired wonderfully with the cheesy egg (Cheesy Gyeran Jjim), vegetables, and the rich, comforting Seafood Soup (Seafood Sundubu Jjigae
). Each element complemented the other, making every bite satisfying and well-rounded.

Part of our Meal

The Triple Meat Combo features the Angus Beef Gochujang Ribeye, as seen on Culinary
Class Wars by Chef Edward Lee. Now, diners can savor this standout dish, perfected through
Chef Chul Park’s 3-step hotstone grilling technique:

1. Sear – Lock in the juices.
2. Torch – Add a smoky, charred aroma.
3. Flambé – Elevate every bite with a dramatic finish.

Flambeed

The star of the Triple Meat Combo was undoubtedly the Angus Beef Gochujang Ribeye. Cooked with precision through a series of carefully orchestrated steps, the beef was then flambéed right before our eyes, adding a dramatic flair to the dining experience. Each bite was juicy and tender, especially when paired with a dollop of Gochujang sauce for that perfect hint of spice.

Triple Meat 

The combo didn’t stop there; the chicken and pork on the sizzling hot plate were just as delightful. Both meats were well-marinated, bursting with flavor, and cooked to perfection. This hearty platter is a fantastic option for sharing, especially for 2–3 pax, making it a satisfying and memorable meal. Besides indulging in the meats on their own, we also enjoyed wrapping them in the fresh lettuce provided. Each wrap balanced the rich, juicy meats with a refreshing crunch, making every bite lighter and more satisfying. It’s the perfect way to savor the flavors while adding a crisp, refreshing contrast!

Meat in Letuce

The Cheesy Gyeran Jjim was pure comfort in a pot. This fluffy Korean steamed egg dish came topped with a generous layer of gooey, melted cheese, adding a rich, savory twist to the soft, custard-like eggs. Each spoonful was light yet indulgent, with the cheese pulling beautifully as you scooped into the warm, pillowy goodness. A perfect side to complement the bold flavors of the grilled meats!

The Seafood Sundubu Jjigae is a top pick for anyone craving a hearty, comforting meal. This spicy soft tofu stew came bubbling with a generous mix of tiger prawns, clams, mussels, and squid, each bite infused with the rich, oceanic flavors of the seafood. The silky soft tofu and egg soaked up the flavorful broth beautifully, making every spoonful a satisfying blend of heat, warmth, and comfort.

First Spanish Restaurant

Serenity is strongly advocate for its yummylicious Suckling Pig through words of mouth and its attractive looking posters and advertisements pasted on the big pillars in vivocity. Due to its popularity, we had make efforts to go earlier for dinner, avoiding the peak period. As we approached the entrance, we were greeted in Spanish with "Hola" and was advised to wait to be seated. Within seconds of waiting, we were served by a lady.

Each of us was given a menu with a dancing lady on its cover indicating "dance to the delightful flavours of spain". I would say this is probably Serenity's Business tagline. Wine pages told up almost half the menu leaving the rest with delicious Spanish food well illustrated within.

Chosen to dine in the peaceful and quiet indoors rather than the outdoors. Seating were comfy, given that the chair I'm sitting on is of fabric with springy cushioning. Just in front of where I'm sitting, there is such a big rack of wine holders and we get to see a wide variety of wines available.

Salteado de Coles de Bruselas con Jamon Serrano (Sauteed Brussels sprout with serrano ham), it is not very common that we can find Brussels Sprouts and that's the reason for my order. Love the natural cute miniature cabbages, stirred fried with bacon, it sums up a simple yet fulfilling dish to me. Not too salty. Likes!
Cost: S$18.80

The Suckling Pig dish(Cochinillo Asado) by itself costs a bomb and we had to skipped it. Luckily we were introduced to the promotion platter and can shared among 3-4 pax. Platter consist of 2 30cm long sausages and 1/4 of Signature's Roasted Suckling Pig with a small portion of potato among the greens. This platter was accompanied by 3 sauces. Upon having this served, the waitress had actually introduce the items and the usuage for the sauces. Well Done!

The quarter of suckling pig was "cracklingly" good, especially its glorious crackling skin. Roasted to al dente perfection with succulent fleash, douse a bit of them into the flavorful sauces and enjoy. As we flipped the quarter up, what lies beneath is a bed of moist sauerkraut (sour cabbage), so simply European!
Cost: S$138

Arroz Negro (Black squid ink paella) is also another must tries. Squid ink, mussels, squid, tiger prawns, capsicum, rice were a simply a great combination. Seafood was fresh, especially prawns and the entire dish was adorn with green little peas.

It was rather an expensivemeal as it sums up to S$251.64 for 4 of us. I feel that price is steep, perhaps Spanish cuisine is quite niche and not that available in Singapore. Having said this, I will still patronize Serenity given if I'm there for a special purpose!
