From the previous post where we took you to eat shabu, this time Fai would like to take you to the "grilled" side. When it comes to shabu or grilled food, the thing we usually look for after considering how delicious it looks is the time limit. Let me tell you, this place has a slogan that says, "Don't leave until you're full!" It's unlimited time, you guys! Just this alone shows how worthwhile it is. 5555555 Let's not talk too much, my mouth is watering. Let's go see it…
This restaurant, named "Hug Grill," is housed in a two-story container building located next to the Srinakarin Train Market alley (the market is clean). The restaurant's logo sets it apart from other barbecue establishments; it's stylish and not your typical rustic setup. It's ideal for young people like us. The restaurant's decor is pink, matching the logo, creating a cute and fresh atmosphere. Everything is pink, unlike any other restaurant I've been to. Hug Grill also has a designated area for customers to take photos, which is fantastic. But my stomach is growling now, so let's take a look at the food first and then talk about the restaurant later. 555555
As the restaurant's slogan states, "No one leaves hungry!" This allows us to dine with complete peace of mind. 5555555 Have you ever been to a barbecue restaurant with a time limit, especially for seafood? It takes time to grill and peel, and sometimes the delicious food doesn't allow us to savor the flavors. 5555 It makes us eat too quickly. We're afraid of running out of time to take beautiful photos. But at Hug Grill, every table takes its time to savor the meal beautifully. They take photos and enjoy themselves, eating and chatting leisurely. It's perfect for groups of friends.
Although there is no time limit, if the food is not delicious, I don't want to stay long, right? But here, I have to say that the seafood is very fresh, with countless "ก"s. I don't know how to describe it. It's like the whole sea is in front of the restaurant. Haha, I'm not exaggerating, but it's really fresh. For example, at first, I wasn't interested in the mantis shrimp at all. I only took two of them, and I confess that I just wanted to take pictures of them to make them look beautiful. Haha, because I had the experience of eating at a seafood restaurant in Siam, where a set costs about 1,000 baht. I took a bite of the mantis shrimp, and the first word that came to mind was "bland." It had no taste at all. And I've always remembered the taste of the mantis shrimp like that, and I don't understand why it's so expensive. The mantis shrimp isn't even delicious.
However, on the day I went to Hug Grill, I took a bite before taking a picture, which wasn't a big deal, right? I might get fined for 55 baht. I had to eat it, but when I did, it wasn't the same taste as I had at Siam. It was sooooooooo delicious. It wasn't bland; it had flavor. I can't say it was sweet, but I can't describe it. Let's just say that this restaurant made me change my mind about eating mantis shrimp, which I didn't like before.
The other seafood was also very fresh, like the crab, which was still alive. How fresh is that? The oysters were also large and substantial. The shrimp came in both plain and cheese-wrapped varieties, which melted in your mouth when grilled. It was so good! This is exactly what I was looking for. It was absolutely fantastic! In addition to seafood, the restaurant also offers meat and pork options. However, I focused on the seafood because it's difficult to find a good seafood barbecue restaurant, and the seafood was so fresh. I don't often come across seafood this fresh, so I decided to indulge in it first.
The fire was strong enough to keep the food from burning, so I just grilled it and piled it up. It's a good thing I can eat it without thinking, otherwise I would be confused about whether to grill it, peel it, eat it, or take a picture of it. 55
Regarding the dipping sauces, the sweet and savory options are located close together. The sauces are labeled as either "medium spicy" or "very spicy." In addition to the standard seafood dipping sauces, there are also options for jaew dipping sauce and meat dipping sauce.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes. The staff is attentive and informs customers about new dishes as they are added to the buffet. The restaurant's size allows for personalized service and ensures that there is always plenty of food available, eliminating the need to compete for dishes. The staff's proactive approach and the abundance of food are commendable.
In terms of the food's taste, it must be said that it is better than many other restaurants. The dishes are not just meant to be side dishes for the barbecue; they are substantial enough to be enjoyed on their own. The crab salad is particularly delicious, and it is not made with cheap crab. The overall feeling is that you are eating fresh seafood by the sea. The ingredients are of high quality.
The fried food was decent, with a crispy and appealing texture. The food presentation was also satisfactory, with moderate portions arranged aesthetically. The food was replenished as needed, ensuring freshness without excessive waste.
Apart from the food, as mentioned earlier, this restaurant has a pink concept and offers photogenic corners. You can take photos while taking a break from eating, or take some stylish photos before leaving. Everything in the restaurant is predominantly pink.
Regarding the price, as clearly displayed on the large sign, it is only 399 baht! If we consider the price and compare it to the value, it is...

The second floor of the restaurant was a comfortable space, even with the heavy rain outside.

The combination of the delicious grilled food and the sound of the rain created a truly special experience.
