Ju Shin Jung is kind of pricey for 2 persons. If you can go there by a group of people of 4 or 5, it is worth it. You can try two types there, BBQ and Steamboat. For me, I prefers BBQ.:) If you try BBQ with Korean Wine, it is perfect match. I recommend to try at YES center. If you wanna go on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you should make a reservation first.

Hello Elinn: Thanks for the recommendation. I have tried ramen santouku before but i din blog on it yet. Which part of roberton quay is “ramen is art” located at? haven see it around before.

Ju Shin Jung is kind of pricey right? haha will probably try it soon since it’s like one of the more popular Korean BBQ around : )

You should try Ramen Santouku at Central and Ramen is Art (I THINK that’s the name) at Robertson Quay. The pork cheek ramen from Santouku is heavenly! Both have really great thick creamy broth. You really should try more Japanese ramen!

Ju Shin Jung, located at East Coast and YESS Centre, serves great korean food as well. Like Kims’ they serve about 10 different types of side dishes at the start of the meal and the best part – it’s free flow! And free of charge! Even when you keep asking for more!

emy: i tried marutama before, but the biggest fan of ramen though. there’s so many ramen places in Singapore. how many have you tried so far?

By: Emy

Japanese ramen you can try Marutama at Central Mall. Personally I like it better than the Gallery Hotel version.

I’ve been told there’s another place in East Coast (opposite Obolo)that has very good ginseng chicken but I have yet to try it.

chelle: yay you stay in the west too! hee i been there twice too. But i’m lazy to learn how to cook korean at home, other than korean ramen that is? haha

Haha Kim’s near my place too I’ve been there twice now I think. For a more authentic and cheaper option, I think it’s not hard to cook Korean at home, I used to have a Korean housemate while studying overseas and I learnt how to cook some dishes from her – easy! What’s more…there’s so many Korean mini marts in the west area…

Ju Shin Jong at Pasir Panjang is good too – loads of side dishes. But good doesn’t come cheap hehe. (:

j2kfm: yep you just said everything on my mind, i rather have bibimbap! but i’m sure a bowl of hot ramen will taste good on a rainy day

amanda: Hello there, i’m not too sure abt 3d durian cakes, but Goodwood park Hotels are famous for their durian desserts, maybe you can give it a try.

LFB: Oh dear, i have yet to try Korean Ginseng chicken, you need to enlighten me on that

joycelyn: thanks for the recommendation, will try them when I’m in Novena area next time

Shawn: haha do drop by and give them a try, let me know if you like it

I hate to admit it but my best experience thus far with Korean food is still limited to their ginseng chicken soup. Oh do enlighten me, O Wise One…

hey there! i know this is totally not related, but i like to ask if you know where can i get 3D design durian cake? i’ve seen it once last year, but i clearly forgot where it’s from. any idea? thanks!

Everything looks good. True, I never liked ordering ramen in Japanese/Korean outlets, for although I like the hearty, sweet broth a lot, but the feeling of slurping on … instant noodles is perpetually there. Hehehe …

I’ll take that Bibimbap anyday though.

Jo: Togi eh? okay i got that down! maybe next time you can drag me to Miharu : )

Hello Jane: Thanks for the correction, i also tend to remember them as appetizer rather than side-dishes (even though i always know it’s side dishes through watching Kdrama).

Yeah i know ramyeon is more like instant noodle compared to Jap ramen, and having tried both, the texture is totally different, but I still don’t really crave for Jap ramen, eve though the broth is superb : )

By: Jane

KIMCH (and the ‘ten appetizers’ you wrote) is NOT an “appetizer”. They are all side-dishes.

You should EaT THEM AS YOU EAT MAIN DISHES (or a rice and a soup, more like a Korean homestyle).
For example, try to eat kmich and other ten mini dishes with remyeon, bibimbap, pancake, ect..

That’s the best way to enjoy Korean food. Kimch and other mini side dishes give you a lot more favoure along with main dishes.

And for the Ramyeon, It’s NOT SAME with Japanese Ramen.
Korean ramyeon is an INSTANT NOODLE which you can buy at a store, and a cook cooks it for you, that’s all, no exception.
In the other hand, Japanese ramen is usually cooked as an ordinary noodle dise. You expect nice broth made by a cook.

I always go to Togi at Mosque St for korean, not too bad and I like the homely feel. Crystal Jade’s korean is surprisingly good and very authentic.

For ramen, the one shop that I use as a benchmark (high one I must add) is Miharu Sapporo Ramen at Gallery Hotel! BEST in Singapore in my opinion. Ippudo is a little overrated to me…
