Melbourne Hwaro Korean Barbecue
There's something in the air near the corner of Little Bourke and King Street, and its not the scent of impending violence. It's the thick clouds of smoke reeking of Umami.
Wikipedia says that Umami is a loanword from Japanese meaning roughly "tasty", although also "brothy", "meaty", or "savory", which is exactly what brought me into Melbourne Hwaro Korean Barbecue.
Sure, I could go on about the amazing selection of meats that get awkwardly cooked over a pit of fire before your very eyes by well-meaning staff, but all you really need to know are the following:
1) Each table has a doorbell. This doorbell will bring you more meat.
2) There is an outdoor smoking area. This area is for real smokers only, as you will be inhaling copious amounts of smoke from said doorbell meat.
3) They have the DYSON AIRBLADE in their bathrooms, which dries your hands with BLADES OF AIR. 'nuff said.
