CheongDamChae Serves K-BBQ With An Automated Grill—Is It More Than A Gimmick?

CheongDamChae is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Telok Ayer with an automatic grill

Korean BBQ: a smoky, fiery experience best enjoyed with meat lovers who don’t mind bearing the cost of smelling like grilled meat on the way home. Like many Korean natives, I’m a fan of this experience. Especially after a long day at work, unwinding with juicy cuts of meat alongside a green, translucent bottle of soju over conversations with my friends is the way to go. 

When I first heard of CheongDamChae, I assumed it was like any other Korean BBQ restaurant, where meat is grilled manually; its grease and smoke subsumed into long exhaust pipes over each table. But I was wrong—the grill that crowns each table here is different. Instead of a stationary grill over a fire that requires your undivided attention when cooking your meats, CheongDamChae uses rolling metal rods that grill the meat as evenly as possible, ensuring a hassle-free experience. 

Curious to see if this innovation would make my life easier, I hurried down to CheongDamChae to check it out myself.
