The More the Better #305

Yahoo.  We have hit the 300's.  That took ages to get from #213 to here.  This part of Glenhuntly Rd teems with restaurants. 

A confession.  I don't think we have been to a Korean Restaurant and we had to break one of our rules (see side bar) to get to this one as it does not open on a Sunday night.  So we went on a Saturday night because we did not want to miss it.  It was written up in The Age so we just had to go look for ourselves.  The More the Better explains itself to be a Korean restaurant with a difference - popping in some American influences.

So we walked into a happening place full of bright young things trying to work out what was gluten free.  The music is groovy, the walls exposed brick and the bar well stocked.  I think this may be our first non BYO restaurant as well.  A night of firsts.

No statement lights here, just tasteful little drop lights.  Clearly did not get the memo from the Glenhuntly Restaurant Society which clearly mandated statement light shades.

So, to the food.  We started off with something that was a flat , tasteless damper thingy.  Don't order that.  However, Marl's pulled pork was welcoming , filling and delicious.  My miso mushroom was bland.  Don't order that.  The Bao Bao must mean boring .  We then had the Bin Bin with beef came out with all the ingredients placed separately on the plate.  The carrot, beancurd, beef and egg yolk all had to be mixed together after pouring over the chilli sauce.  Just really yummy.  Do order this. 

I loved the cheesy, chicken , sweet pot bake thing was something I would like because I love all things cheesy.  Apparently it is not really Korean but I thought it was OK.  And I really get the whole Kimchi thing that is sweeping Melbourne. 

It was a crunchy, salty blast of brewed flavour. 

There is a sign on the wall , feature the following message and no punctuation; "The more the better is an old Korean saying.  Whether its friends, family, drinks or food.  The more the better."

Not sure about this.  Living by this creed could get us all into a lot of trouble.
