Named after the co-owner and partners Divya Darsana Ghosh and Liao Yun Chi aka Steven's dogs Scooby and Sandy, Scoody on Lake Terrace Road spells warmth with a cosy seating arrangement
Co-owners Divya Darsana Ghosh (a trained chef) and Liao Yun Chi aka Steven (a former corporate) give t2 a taste of a live Korean BBQ. "We love eating and exploring cuisines and wanted to incorporate something new to this city, something flavourful and tasty. So, Scoody! We chose this space as it was cosy and homely," they say.
Korean BBQ: This is the eye-catcher at Scoody. With options like Bulgogi (pork) Samgyeopsal (Belgian pork belly), Dakgalbi (chicken) and Tofu & Mushroom priced at Rs 900, Rs 1,050, Rs 850 and Rs 650, respectively — the BBQ is the ultimate winter grub. You can assemble barbecued meat/tofu/mushroom, spinach, pickled cucumber, kimchi, pickled radish, mushroom, spring onion, Kimchi Jeon, and Korean pickled garlic and put it into the lettuce. Dip the assembled delicacy into the sauce and take a bite. The crispy, flavourful dish is t2's top pick.
Kimchi Jeon: Kimchi Jeon spells a non-vegetarian twist to something authentically vegetarian. Made with either vegetables, chicken, prawn or pork, these savoury pancakes taste superb. The twist to a usually sweet dish is its in-house sauce. Stuffed with lots of kimchi (fermented/pickled vegetables) the dish is served with a dip that you will dig. Priced at Rs 250 to 280 (depending on the filling)
Katsu Sushi: The cream cheese sushi just takes Scoody a notch above, not too gooey, but just right. The in-house sauce and the cream cheese are taste enhancers to the usual sushi rice wrapped in a nori sheet. Out of the box and oh-so-crunchy. Rs 350
