CCYG Chung Choon Yeon Ga (청춘연가): Newest Samgyupsal Place in Malate

There are so many restaurants in Malate in various scales and sizes.  Naturally, one with a big bright sign like CCYG Chung Choon Yeon Ga (청춘연가) will certainly stand out especially at night. 

Because of the its effective signage, we were able discover that CCYG Chung Choon Yeon Ga  (청춘연가)  is the best BBQ brand in Korea with around 358 restaurants all over the country.  It is relatively new here though.  It only opened it pioneer branch in Quezon City last November 2019.  And, this Malate branch its second branch. 

All for 499 php, you can get choose among CCYG's pork, beef and specialty side dishes.  Since we came in a big group occupying two table and it is its policy that when one goes for unlimited, all have to go too.  We all went for the unlimited.  After all the unlimited rate is worth only two ala carte dish. 

Specialty Side Dishes

Rice Ball, Tteok-Bokki, Jap-chae and assorted Ban Chan

Because the Specialty Dishes comes for free, no pressure if you don't eat all of them.  In fact, just try the Rice Ball and Tteok-Bokki.  The rest was disappointing. 

Seafood Jeon

Okay, the Seafood Jeon is too big too ignore.  Better have a tasting portion of this too. 

 
The key to a quality grilled meat is to make use of charcoal. 

CCYG Chung Choon Yeon Ga takes the grilling process seriously.  The charcoals have top be hot enough and it is also refilled if needed.

You can order a three-layer tray at a time.  We tried our best of have more trays so we could justify the unlimited price of 499 php.  In the end, we only managed to order 1 three-layer tray per person. 

Beef Belly and Doenjang Beef Belly

As expected from a reputable brand, CCYG has covered all the popular taste preferences and meat cuts.

♥ Cream Cheese and Mozarella Dip

It even has the unlimited cheese dip.

♥ Cream Cheese and Mozarella Dip

Upon request for refill, the server only pour us the Cream Cheese.  We had to request for some mozzarella cheese to be sprinkled too.  

♥ Charcoal Grilled Egg

When all the meat and cheesiness gets overbearing, this charcoal grilled egg will refresh your palate.  This is unlimited too.

Samgyupsal Wraps

 You can also ask for a refill of the fresh lettuce and sliced garlic.

Doenjang Beef Belly Cuts

We enjoyed grilling so much, we didn't even notice the grill plate being all burnt. 

Daepae Samgyupsal

But, the server noticed it and asked our permission to change it into a clean one.

♥ Samgyupsal

The servers are so attentive and well-trained.

They even have a grilling plate tray ready to replace burnt grilled plates anytime. 

Drinks

Grape Slush (50 php)

We ordered the Grape Slush as we needed something cool and sweet to comfort the taste buds from all the savoriness.  But, we couldn't take more than a sip of this.  It was so sweet that it was so painful to the throat.   

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
CCYG Chung Choon Yeon Ga (청춘연가) definitely has what it takes to be the leading Korean BBQ chain in South Korea and even here in Manila too.  We're eager to see how prominent it can go.
