If you are craving for authentic Korean food after having binge-watched a whole series of K-dramas, Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant might just be the perfect place to head to.

Situated just a 3-minute walk away from Tanjong Pagar MRT station along Peck Seah Street, Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant offers some of the best Korean cuisines in Singapore. They serve a tantalising collection of Korean fare, ranging from barbecue meats to stews and Korean fried chicken.

The spacious interior of Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant makes it the perfect place for a casual meal with family and friends or even group gatherings. This Korean restaurant is well-furnished and has a homely feel, atop the authentic taste of their Korean cuisine. It is no wonder that this place is frequented by many Koreans!

In addition, Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant has several private dining rooms fit for small private functions.

JAEYUL-BOSAM WRAPPED KIMCHI WITH PORK

Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant boasts this dish as their signature dish and there is no doubt why. Use the lettuce to wrap the pork belly as well as the kimchi which had fresh oysters hidden beneath it—the taste of each component complemented each other, making this dish pleasantly balanced.

SPICY SAUSAGE STEW

No Korean dining experience will ever be truly completed without army stew. The Spicy Sausage Stew (S$38 / S$48) that we had was absolutely delicious—the savoury yet slightly tangy broth definitely did not disappoint, although it was milder than those that you’d usually get elsewhere.

Indeed, it is hard to go wrong with army stew—we would gladly finish this huge portion of army stew at Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant!

ASSORTMENT OF AUTHENTIC KOREAN DISHES

One would be glad to hear that the menu at Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant is as extensive as it can get. Take your pick from their wide array of options, including Korean Fried Chicken (S$20 for half, S$36 for whole), Korean Seafood Pancake (S$19) and Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap!

If you are with a group of friends, opt for their sharing portions for their Korean BBQ and barbeque your own meats to get the full Korean dining experience! Their Seasoned Prime Rib (S$33) should not be missed!

Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant may not be the most affordable Korean restaurant you can find in Singapore, but rest assured that they definitely do not compromise on the quality of their food. Given the authenticity and quality of their food, Cho-won Garden Korean Restaurant is definitely worth a try.

Yoogane Singapore is one of the most popular chicken galbi restaurants in South Korea. Having been established in Busan, South Korea nearly 3 decades ago with over 130 outlets, there is no doubt that this is a restaurant worth visiting for authentic Korean food that is both delicious and comforting.

For the uninitiated, chicken galbi is a tasty and spicy pan-fried dish comprising marinated chicken, fresh assorted vegetables, and tteokbokki (Korean rice cake). Simple in preparation, this iconic cold-weather staple is a must-try for all—spring, summer, autumn, winter alike.

Aside from their highly acclaimed chicken galbi, Yoogane in Singapore also features a myriad of stellar dishes such as Army Stew, Dosirak, and newly launched Korean-style fried chicken that features three lip-smacking flavours.

For the true taste of Korea without actually being there, head down to Yoogane Singapore today! And now through September 2017, quote ‘ladyironchef’ when placing your orders to enjoy a 15% discount off your entire bill.

There are a total of five Yoogane outlets in Singapore right now—more to come, of course.

The ambience in Tampines Mall, in particular, is modern, with the use of wood adding a subtle rustic feel. It features an open concept that is both welcoming and comfortable—an ideal setting for communal dining.

There is also a salad bar that guests can indulge in either prior to their meal as a starter or during as an accompaniment.

A meal at Yoogane is not complete without an order of their highly acclaimed Chicken Galbi, but if like us, you prefer having variety, then their Seafood and Chicken Galbi (S$52.90 for 2-3pax & S$59.90 for 3-4pax) is the way to go! We’d do this combo again and again.

Be spoiled for choice with this glorious medley that comprises tender chicken meat, baby octopus, squids, prawns and mussels all beautifully melded together in their unique spicy sauce marinade. Stir it up and enjoy them piping hot!

New on Yoogane’s menu is the Korean fried chicken that comes in 3 different flavours—Galbi, Honey Citron and Bulgogi.

Yoogane’s chicken wings are marinated for a minimum of 12 hours to ensure that the flavour penetrates deep into the meat and is then coated with a light home-made batter. The end result is perfectly deep-fried chicken that is crunchy, juicy, fresh and flavourful—as authentic as Korean-style fried chicken gets.

An alternative to consider should you wish to elevate your fried chicken experience is to opt for the Fried Chicken Cheese Pool (S$13.90 for 6 pieces)—which is essentially three of the aforementioned flavours served atop a pool of warm, melty cheese filled with sweet corn for an added crunch.

Using a unique blend of sauces and seasoning, Mr Spicy or the Galbi Chicken Platter (S$10.90 for 6 pieces) features Yoogane’s signature Galbi sauce that is spicy, savoury and sweet. If you fancy a good kick out of your chicken then this is one to get.

The Zesty Boss or Honey Citron Chicken Platter (S$10.90 for 6 pieces) is a non-spicy option that is perfect for children or people who do not particularly fancy spicy food in general.

Hand-brushed with their homemade honey citron recipe, be prepared to be blown away by the zest and tanginess from the citron and well-balanced sweetness from the honey. The melted cheese adds a nice savouriness to the dish which balances out the sweetness really well.

Among the three options, we were most impressed by Sweet Chick or Bulgogi Chicken Platter (S$10.90 for 6 pieces). It features a specially crafted Bulgogi sauce that is rich and aromatic, encompassing strong flavours of soy and sesame. A simple concoction, yet the balance between sweet and savoury was struck beautifully.

Another of Yoogane’s more popular option for communal dining is the Army Stew (S$49.90) which delves away slightly from how it is traditionally done with the addition of succulent crab sticks and cheese-oozing chicken meatballs.

The taste of this everyday Korean comfort food is elevated with the addition of their signature chicken galbi, surrounded by a ring of mouth-watering melted cheese with mushroom and corn which did well to inject an element of crunch and savouriness.

Amidst all the spicy foods going around the table, a good dish to tune it down a notch is the Naengmyeon or cold noodles (S$11.90).

Chewy, slippery buckwheat noodles are served with a chilled broth flavoured with vinegar and mustard. Mix the runny yolk from the egg over the vegetables for a richer mouthful. Overall, this dish was refreshing and a great palate cleanser to have to round off the spicy meal.

The Seafood Pancake has generous portions of seafood. The sauce that comes with it is not too salty and complements the pancake really well. This is a good and hearty side, more appropriate for sharing as it can get rather filling after awhile.

Another popular item here at Yoogane is the Dosirak (something like a bento box) that features 3 different types of meat—Chicken Bulgogi (S$12.90), Beef Bulgogi (S$13.90) and Chicken Galbi (S$12.90).

Each lunchbox comes served with either one of the meat choices, crispy chicken luncheon, a sunny side-up and more Korean side dishes. With so many ingredients packed into a small rectangular tin, this is a bento on steroids. It is perfect as a meal on-the-go if you do not have the luxury of time for a proper sit-down lunch.

With so many options available at Yoogane Singapore, lovers of Korean food fare are truly spoiled for choice. And as if this stellar line up of dishes is not enticing enough, a new Christmas dish is currently in the works, so stay tuned!

Seoul Jjimdak is our go-to Korean restaurant in Singapore for Budae Jjigae and authentic Chicken Jjjimdak. One visit is not enough, and so, we’ve made multiple visits to this humble eatery at City Square Mall because hearty Korean stew always wins our hearts.

And now, Seoul Jjimdak is having a daily lunch special that gives you even more reason to head down—S$29.90 for a huge pot of Budae Jjigae or Jjimdak, and this special price is also applicable on weekends. How does that sound?

Located in City Square Mall, Seoul Jjimdak is a Korean restaurant that specialises in authentic Jjimdak, and it is one of the very few destinations in Singapore where you get to savour this hearty Korean stew. The Seoul Jjimdak comes in both with bone and boneless options.

The words ‘jjim’ refers to ‘braise’ and ‘dak’ refers to chicken, and a Korean jjimdak is really a tasty chicken stew braised in soya sauce and is usually slightly sweet. Trust us; this is real comfort food on a rainy day. And it is something you will grow to love more with every time you eat it.

The next bestselling dish is none other than the tasty Budae Jjigae, and it is easily the best we’ve had in Singapore. This homemade kimchi stew is served with baked beans, luncheon meat, pork belly strips, tofu and mixed vegetables.

These two star dishes of Seoul Jjimdak are only S$29.90 each if you go during lunch. That is a real steal; you would know by now that Korean stews in Singapore are mostly priced above S$35 and the ingredients are always at the bare minimum.

For S$29.90, you get a big pot at Seoul Jjimdak which is good for up to 3 persons. And if that is not enough, you can choose to add on ingredients such as Ramyeon (S$2.90++), Assorted Mushrooms (S$4.90++), Prawns & Mussels (S$5.90++) and Tteokbokki (S$2.90++).

Korean restaurant Seoul Jjimdak in City Square Mall has been in the spotlight lately for introducing authentic Jjimdak and Korean Army Stew that is very tasty and wallet-friendly.

Today we have some fantastic news to share!

If you missed their previous lunch deal, the folks at Seoul Jjimdak have introduced a new special deal for both the Jjimdak and Korean Army Stew – which will be going at only S$23.90++ each. This is a whopping 30% off its usual price of S$36.90++, and they are available daily from 11.30am to 3pm, including weekends and public holidays!

Jjimdak is chicken stew braised in soya sauce that is usually slightly sweet; the Budae Jjigae (or otherwise known as Korean Army Stew) is that hearty big pot of kimchi stew that everyone loves.

These two signature stews at Seoul Jjimdak can easily feed two or three people, ensuring you get your money’s worth when you dine there.

The huge portion of Jjimdak consists of chicken, potatoes, carrots, onions and potato noodles braised in soya sauce. We were singing praises of the tender chicken chunks that have been braised to absorb all the flavours of the sauce which is a mix of salty and sweet.

Go all out with the toppings that you can add into your Seoul Jjimdak with options such as the Assorted Mushrooms (S$4.90++), Double Cheese (S$3.90++), Mozzarella Cheese (S$2.90++), Prawns & Mussels (S$5.90++) and Tteokbokki (S$2.90++).

As for the Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Stew), it is served with baked beans, luncheon meat, pork belly strips, tofu and mixed vegetables. You can also order add-ons for this homemade kimchi stew. Carbs such as Ramyeon (S$2.90++) and Steamed White Rice (S$1.50++) go best when having kimchi stew. This is the next best selling dish after the Jjimdak!

Now you know where you will find us during lunch hour when our Korean cuisine cravings kick in – right at Seoul Jjimdak, of course!

With so many Korean food places popping up all over Singapore, we can safely say that the Korean wave is not losing its popularity in this city anytime soon. Apart from the usual K-bbq and bibimbap, a rather underrated Korean dish called jjimdak deserves to be glorified too. The words ‘jjim’ refers to ‘braise’ and ‘dak’ refers to chicken, and a Korean jjimdak is really a tasty chicken stew braised in soya sauce and is usually slightly sweet.

Located in City Square Mall, Seoul Jjimdak is a Korean restaurant that specialises in authentic Jjimdak, and it is one of the very few destinations in Singapore where you get to savour this hearty Korean stew. The best part? Prices are wallet-friendly, portions are generous and needless to say – the food is legit and authentic!

From now till 31 August 2016, Seoul Jjimdak is extending an exclusive 51%* off Jjimdak and Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Stew) during lunch every day. All you have to do is flash this article or quote ‘ladyironchef’ to Seoul Jjimdak’s staff.

After the promotion, you can get the Jjimdak and/ or Budae Jjigae at only S$16.60++ (U.P. S$33.90++). Now, surely you know this is a deal not to be missed.

Set foot into Seoul Jjimdak and you will be instantly greeted by pop art murals of famous Korean celebrities and catchy K-pop tunes. It is one of those Korean restaurants with very comfortable seating; finally an outlet where we can enjoy our Korean meal in comfort.

As its name implies, everyone goes to Seoul Jjimdak for their Seoul Jjimdak (S$33.90++). The owners are trained in Seoul, and the culinary team have rich experience dealing with Korean food.

The portion of the jjimdak is huge. Integrating soya sauce imported directly from Korea with chicken, potatoes, carrots, onions and potato noodles, the stew can easily feed two to three people. The braise is a mix of salty and sweet, with the vegetables attributing largely to the sweetness. We were instantly hooked to the fork-tender and succulent chicken that have been braised to absorb the flavours of the sauce.

The Seoul Jjimdak comes in both with bone and boneless options. You can also choose to add on more toppings to your stew, i.e. Assorted Mushrooms (S$4.90++), Double Cheese (S$3.90++), Mozzarella Cheese (S$2.90++), Prawns & Mussels (S$5.90++) and Tteokbokki (S$2.90++). Note that these add-ons are single portion unless otherwise stated.

Dining solo? Order the “Mini” Jimdak (S$12.90++). Seoul Jjimdak is probably the only place with a one-pax option, and it really solves the problem of always having to gather more friends just to satisfy a Korean stew craving.

The next bestselling dish is none other than the tasty Budae Jjigae. The Korean Army Stew was actually created out of famine during the Korean War, where the Koreans had to make do with leftover food from US Army – hence its name, or also otherwise known as Budae Jjigae. Today, the well-loved stew is synonymous with a good Korean meal, and we have just found another reliable and affordable option.

At S$33.90++, this homemade kimchi stew – which feeds up to three pax – is served with baked beans, luncheon meat, pork belly strips, tofu and mixed vegetables. Similarly, add-on options are available, including carbs such as Ramyeon (S$2.90++) and Steamed White Rice (S$1.50++).

Now, let’s move on to the side dishes. Seoul Jjimdak’s chef-recommended Seafood Pancake (S$14.90++). The flat pancake is heavy with ingredients – with green onions, prawns and squids; crisp on the outside but moist and fluffy inside.

Koreans do their instant noodles really well. The Chicken Bulgogi Ramyeon (S$11.90++) is when you just want a simple and fuss-free lunch. The chicken is marinated with bulgogi sauce, and the ramyeon (instant noodles) is cooked with sliced capsicums, onions, mushrooms and sesame.

The soft and chewy rice cake that Koreans know as Tteokbokki is a must-try. Seoul Jjimdak’s interpretations are available in either Spicy Cheese Tteokbokki (S$11.90++) or non-spicy Royal Court Tteokbokki (S$10.90++). We thoroughly enjoyed the spicy one, with melted cheese covering the fish and rice cakes and drenched in hot and spicy sauce.

Seoul Jjimdak’s value-for-money lunch sets are some of the best deals in town. The sets range from S$9.90++ for a Kimchi Tofu Soup with Rice to S$12.90++ for Mini Boneless Jjimdak with Rice. Each set meal comes with a complimentary soft drink, and is valid from 11.30am to 5pm daily.

Of course, what’s a Korean feast without some Korean booze? Pick your poison from Chamisul Soju (S$15.90++), Grapefruit Soju (S$15.90++), Yakult Soju (S$20.90++) or Yuja Soju (S$20.90++).

From now till 31 August 2016 (between 11.30am – 3pm), Seoul Jjimdak is offering a massive 51% discount off Seoul Jjimdak and Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Stew) to celebrate Singapore’s 51st birthday. Say whaaat?! This is the best deal ever!

Simply flash this post to the Seoul Jjimdak’s staff or quote ‘ladyironchef’. Think about it – you are only paying S$16.60++ for an authentic Korean stew that can feed two to three persons. In case you think we are kidding you, the portions remain the same; you are really getting the full works at half the price. This just gave us another reason to look forward to lunch.
