Restaurant KO

Currently Restaurant KO is back open for business.
It has attracted a Japanese chef assigned for sushi but it is still transitioning a dedicated sushi space into a stronger concept offering.
It has just started a pilot since last week so not much information yet.

Hence the strong aspect of KO is currently on their teppanyaki offering.
We have dined before prepandemic and found staff to be attentive, the chefs happy to customize your order best suited your palate.
A feature that is fortunate still there at present.
I did miss the welcoming center piece of the relaxing posture of the sitting Boddhisatva Maitreya and after renovations the design is more white bright ...... must be a pain to keep repainting if the exhaust isn't working properly .... but i digress...

We took advantage of the following promo .....

Be reminded that the 20% IHG-1rewards member discount is not valid for the promo ...
1 EUR = 17035 IDR on FRI 15 DEC 2023


Plus the elderly in our group > 79 had never done teppanyaki before.... plus my mother-in-law had tanked booze bigtime, i thought it wise to get her at least a stuffed tummy before she starts telling the naughty jokes about a nun is sitting at the bar in a vegan coffeeshop managed by a rabbi .... oops i digress again....egress please ....


So let's start with the drinks menu

Alcoholic beverages ....
TIP: if you come to dine outside of KO's Thursday promo day,
means this offering is subject to the current 20% IHG-1rewards member discount





Non alcoholic menu



So how does this all-you-can eat-concept work in real life .....


You may fill in unlimited choice sheets of the desired items which will be reconfirmed by the roaming hostesses.
Whom will then acquire the chosen to present to the chef to be made à la minute
This Korean lady managed to go till round 8 so she confirms it is tasty too


And what is the selection?

The promo flyer and the choices .....
sauces are provided....
. ...,foodcritic twinbrother mentions delicious baked in true full cream butter
and maneater great-aunt mentions the garlic kept any unwanted suitors faraway


To give you an idea about the portion,
I had ordered mahi mahi + shrimp

After preparation, it is served on a plate to enjoy
Above shows you the portion ..... especially if you need to wear control tops like me to avoid going in food coma





And the friendly chef in action .....
he is expertly trained in knives and showed quite skill .....
if i would do it it would warrant the publishing of my new novel
" Always Toujours, hit by the errent knife, this time no blame on any butler..."


On non-Thursdays,
Restaurant KO offers a more distinguished menu catering to Japanese expectations and palates
The current menu post pandemic.



Be reminded the current IHG-1rewards "20% discount" promo for members is valid for above 3 menu cards....

And that concludes my insight at KO restaurant post pandemic.
Hope you found this infornative.
