This S$27.9 Korean BBQ Buffet Comes With Unlimited Meats, Korean Side Dishes & Steamed Eggs

Editorial — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 03:54:26 +0000

Don Dae Bak Korean BBQ along Kreta Ayer Road offers a Korean BBQ buffet with unlimited meats, sides and steamed eggs at only S$27.90++/pax on weekdays.

What we love most about Don Dae Bak Korean BBQ is that the Korean restaurant uses charcoal grill instead of the usual gasoline grill. That sure makes a lot of difference to our meats!

This small outlet is just like any usual Korean BBQ place—round communal tables that are surrounded by kimchi and side dishes (free flow), all your sauces and chilli, and loud Korean pop songs on repeat mode. They use beef and pork belly from USA and Australia, as well as chicken that is sourced locally.

Don Dae Bak’s Korean BBQ Buffet includes:

Beef Bulogi
Beef Brisket
Pork Belly
Spicy Pork Belly
Shoulder Loin
Marinated Shoulder Loin
Marinated Chicken
Spicy Marinated Chicken
Korean sides
Steamed eggs

Other than the meats, the Korean BBQ buffet also comes with six free-flow Korean sides and unlimited steamed eggs.

The cherry on top is the pocket around the grill, where egg custard is poured and steamed egg is made. It is so simple, yet nothing short of comforting; just like the great Korean BBQ meals we’ve had in Seoul, though more often than not, steamed egg is a free dish they offer to diners.

Guksu – Authentic Jeongol Joint In Suntec City With Excellent Fried Chicken

Dick Tan — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 01:00:44 +0000

Specialising in a variety of authentic Korean fare from its homemade noodles (guksu), Korean fried chicken and even their signature Korean-style hot pot (jeongol), Guksu over at Suntec City is a tribute of all things traditional.

This new-age Korean Restaurant also happens to be the first specialised Jeongol house in Singapore and although their menu boasts mainly stews and noodle dishes—including the highly popular hae shin tang and yuk gae jang meon—their Korean fried chicken wings are a must-try as well.

So round up your squad, whether they may be Korean food enthusiasts or simply your beer-drinking buddies because Guksu is a restaurant worth checking out.

SNOWING CHICKEN

In need of a something to go with your beer? Then be sure to order up a platter of Guksu’s stellar Korean fried chicken. The menu boasts a pretty impressive array of deep-fried options to choose from such as soy, spicy, wasabi and of course the good-old classic but we decided to go with the Snowing Chicken (S$34.90).

Great for sharing among up to 4 people, this mammoth-sized platter sees a long stack of Korean fried chicken wings slathered with a savoury garlic cream and generously topped with their homemade snow powder (essentially a honey butter and garlic mixture).

Striking the right balance between sweet, savoury and crunchy, we can see why this is a crowdpleaser. The dish is served with a side of mashed potato and pickled radish that both do well to cut through the grease and sweetness of the chicken wings.

CHICKEN CHEESE FONDUE

Who doesn’t love nuggets of crunchy fried chicken—or anything for that matter—dunked in bubbling hot cheese? If just the thought of it is enough to get you pumped, then the Cheese Chicken Fondue (S$39.90) is something you must try.

Great for sharing, this sensational dish comes with potato wedges as well and everything is generously topped with their signature snow powder for added flavour.

CHICKEN CHEESE FONDUE CHOCOLATE

For the adventurous, you might also want to try their Cheese Chicken Fondue Chocolate Flavour (S$46.90) that is essentially the same except with the addition of literal chunks of dark chocolate. The idea of chicken and chocolate might take some getting used to, but believe us when we say that the combination works.

BEEF SHORT RIB

Featuring marinated prime beef short ribs, lettuce, rice and another garnishing, the So Kalbi Sal Set (S$28) is essentially a miniaturised version of Korean barbecue.

Marinated for a long period of time, the beef was flavourful inside and out but the real kicker was having the edges caramelise on the grill.

PORK SHORT RIB

Another barbecue item to consider is the Samgyeopsal Set (S$23). Essentially the same line up of ingredients except swapping out the beef short rib for pork belly, this dish offers diners a much more fatty but flavourful experience.

Red Holic – Tteokbokki & Giant Mandu Korean Eatery By Super Star K

Sherlyn Teo — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 02:21:23 +0000

Red Holic is where lovers of Korean food can settle in for some of the tastiest tteokbokki around. Helmed by the same folks behind Super Star K, this cosy joint boasts a myriad of home-style Korean stews, dumplings and other tasty delights that go well with beer or soju.

Red Holic specialises in comforting Korean food in the likes of classic tteokbokki, ramyeon and Korean street snacks. While their menu is pretty selective, this Korean eatery does make for a nice pit stop for a quick snack on the go or for your friends and yourself to retire to over drinks after a hard day’s work.

Kick start your meal with one of Red Holic’s Giant Mandus (Korean dumplings). Red Holic serves a selective variety of this classic Korean street snack at a relatively affordable price per piece.

We opted for the Giant Kimchi Mandu (S$1.80++ per piece) and each piece came steaming hot and stuffed with generous amounts of kimchi, minced pork and glass noodles.

While the variety of textures, flavours and tongue-tingling heat surprised us in some way, we would have much preferred if it was less dry.

If you are tired of drooling over the Jjajangmyeon you often see in Korean dramas, hop over to Red Holic and order up a portion of Jjajang Tteokbokki that will satisfy any of such cravings.

The Crispy Chicken Jjajang Tteokbokki (S$27.80++) comes with Korean ramyeon noodles, quail eggs, 2 pieces of fried mandu, tteokbokki and pieces of diced up chicken thighs that are deep-fried to a nice golden brown.

The Jjajang sauce was mildly sweet and savoury with a slight spicy kick to it, which we felt went pleasantly well with the tteokbokki and ramyeon. The fried chicken arrives tender on the inside and crisp on the outside but we suggest you finish them up quickly before they turn soggy.

If you’re a fan of spicy food, don’t beat around the bush and head straight for the Red Holic Tteokbokki which comes with a broth that is equally as sweet as the Jjajang sauce, but with a fiery element that will impress.

The Red Holic Beef Brisket Tteokbokki (S$28.80++) can feed 2 to 3 people nicely given its size. Similar to the Crispy Chicken Jjajang Ttekbokki, this dish gives you the best of both worlds as it comprises both ramyeon as well as their signature Tteokbokki. Carbs aside, this dish will fill you up with the beef brisket, fried mandu as well as glass noodles too!

Tanjong Pagar may be home to plenty of Korean restaurants—this area is known to be Singapore’s ‘Little Korea’ after all—but what makes Red Holic stand out is their exceptional tteokbokki which are undeniably one of the best that we tried.

And while Red Holic’s menu is rather limited, they definitely deliver when it comes to quality. Should you wish to indulge in inexpensive and hearty Korean fare that is not overly pretentious, Red Holic is a great place to consider.

Oven & Fried Chicken – Korean Fried Chicken Great For Sharing With Your Squad

Dick Tan — Wed, 02 May 2018 13:11:27 +0000

Whether you crave chicken that’s baked, fried or smothered in ice cream (yes, we’re serious), Oven & Fried Chicken has it all covered. Expect to tuck into a splendid array of crispy-beyond-belief Korean-style fried chicken, tender baked chicken as well as a fine selection of Korean traditional side dishes.

Located along Tanjong Katong Road, this humble Korean fried chicken joint may not seem like much from the outside, but truth be told the chicken we had here were some of the best we have ever tried in Singapore.

FRIED RICE CHICKEN

To kick things off, we got the Fried Rice Original Chicken (S$18), which upon arrival, blew us away with its fresh-out-the-fryer aroma and crispy golden skin.

What makes their chicken unique to other Korean fried chicken joints is their use of rice flour as opposed to regular flour, which ensures that the chicken achieves an unbelievably crispy crust without being greasy at all. The flour also helps to lock in moisture, allowing each bite to be jam-packed with steaming chicken goodness.

SAUCED RICE CHICKEN

For fried chicken with attitude, the Sauced Original Rice Chicken (S$20) is a great choice. What you get is the same crispy chicken but with a generous coating of their homemade sauce, that brims with sweetness and a subtle spicy kick to further elevate the taste of the chicken.

We have tried many variations of this dish, but what really had us hooked was the fact that the saucy layer was neither gloopy nor overly sweet. Just the right consistency to coat the chicken without overwhelming its flavour too much.

ROASTED CHICKEN

Succulent, smoky and brimming with subtle herbal notes, we thoroughly enjoyed their Roasted Original (S$17) as well, for the fact that it was a whole different experience in itself.

Roasted to perfection, the chicken was tender, juicy and tasted a notch higher than your average oven-roasted chicken. The secret lies in the marinade, the duration of which the chicken is allowed to soak up all those aromatic flavours as well as the perfect cooking temperature, ensuring that the chicken does not dry out.

FRIED CHICKEN WITH ICE CREAM

For the ballsy, do consider one of the kitchen’s recommendations, the brainchild of the chef himself, the Yogurt Salad Chicken (S$22). Just a disclaimer, there wasn’t actual yoghurt in this but rather two scoops of Neapolitan-flavoured ice cream.

We particularly loved that each dip was different. Some bites were heavier on strawberry, some on chocolate and some, with the flavours of all three—delicious!

Some may say that this rendition is unorthodox as far as fried chicken is concerned but boy does it work. Dunking piping hot pieces of crispy fried chicken into ice cream was never something to cross our minds but now that we have tried this, it will probably change the way we eat fried chicken forever.

GINSENG CHICKEN

In light of all that greasy goodness (not that there was much, to begin with), a good, comforting dish to order is their Ginseng Chicken (S$12).

The chicken within was literally fall-off-the-bone tender while the rice at the bottom provided body to the dish. As the dish simmers over a period of time, the starch from the rice thickens it, making for a heartier, more robust soup.

Kimchi Korean Restaurant – Authentic & Inexpensive Korean Food With Good Samgyetang

Sherlyn Teo — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 08:30:18 +0000

Bringing you the authentic tastes of Korea in a posh setting is Kimchi Korean restaurant, a diner situated in Suntec City Convention Tower. This restaurant was highly raved about a few years back for their “handsome Korean boss who looked like a celebrity”, Haden Hee, who worked as a part-time model and actor.

That aside, Kimchi Korean Restaurant is well-known for their reasonably priced Korean cuisine in a refined setting. With their kitchen being manned by 100% South Korean chefs, the food at Kimchi Korean Restaurant is as authentic as it can get.

Here’s everything we loved about Kimchi Korean Restaurant, which includes free-flow side dishes with every meal.

ENJOY KOREAN CUISINE IN STYLE

Walk past this Korean restaurant at Suntec City Convention Tower and you’d definitely get a whiff of their alluring kimchi broth. Just the smell of it will kick up some Korean food cravings and tempt you to walk in for a meal.

Dine in style in this classy Korean restaurant—the spacious, elegant restaurant is a perfect setting for catch-ups with your buddies or a family meal!

CLASSIC KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI BIBIMBAP

We just had to order the classic—Korean Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap (S$15.90). The thinly sliced beef was flavorful and well-marinated. Served in a sizzling hot stone bowl, this bowl of beef bulgogi bibimbap is well complemented with fresh, crunchy vegetables and a kick-ass Korean chilli paste.

KIMCHI DAE-JI KALBI JJIM

If you are in a group, we suggest you opt for one of their Kimchi Jjim for sharing. Although served with only 2 bowls of rice, one serving of this Kimchi stew will be good to share amongst a group of 3-4 pax!

We dug into this portion of Slow-cooked Pork Ribs with Braised Kimchi (S$49.90) and there was a chock full of ingredients in there, and it includes slow-cooked pork ribs, kimchi, enoki mushroom, and wild rocket salad.

Served with a side of Korean ramyeon, this is a definitely tummy-filler and a very hearty one at that!

SAMGYETANG

Their soups, Ginseng Chicken Soup in particular, tasted so comforting that it felt like home. This unassuming bowl of Ginseng Chicken Soup (S$17.90) features half a spring chicken, complemented with jujube red dates and gingko nuts that attributes to the subtle nutty flavours of the ginseng soup.

Peel off some of that tender chicken and dip it into the side serving of salt and pepper mix for a greater flavour kick.

CRISPY POTATO CHEESE PANCAKE

Their Crispy Potato Cheese Pancake (S$13.90) is a good option if you are looking for a side to share. Topped with a fried egg and parmesan cheese, this savoury dish is simple but very tasty.

Look forward to many other side dishes that you can enjoy too. This includes their Traditional Korean Kimchi Pancake (S$13.90), Korean Seafood and Spring Onion Pancake (S$14.90), Kimchi Cheese Egg Pancake (S$14.90) and many more.

As far as international cuisine is concerned, Korean food is one of those things that bears timeless appeal. What began as nothing more than a fad (courtesy of the Korean wave) is now ingrained into Singapore’s culinary landscape.

#1 SEORAE KOREAN CHARCOAL BBQ

#2 KKO CHI BAR

Kko Chi Bar is an underrated Korean bar in Tanjong Pagar that specialises in barbecued meat skewers. The founder of Kko Chi Bar was born in South Korea but raised in China, hence the food that he serves here are mostly Korean, with a touch of Chinese flair.

The barbecued skewer machines on the table ensure that each skewer is cooked well and evenly—something we thoroughly enjoyed. The spicy lamb skewers impressed us the most. Marinated in a plethora of dry spices reminiscent of Szechuan spices, the lamb was rid of all gaminess and was incredibly flavourful. The simple but tasty Potato Pancakes (S$18) is a must try to complement the rich skewers.

Dick Tan — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 01:00:01 +0000

The massive (and sudden) influx of Korean pop culture—or the ‘Korean wave’—decades back, left a very deep and lasting impact on Singapore. Both the old and the younger generations saw themselves giving in to the allure of all things South Korean.

The influence of the Korean wave sparked a change in many people’s lifestyle habits. More importantly, many people saw themselves becoming obsessed with Korean cuisine, judging from the increased number of Korean stalls opening in food courts and many Korean restaurants sprouting out all around the island.

Here are 7 Korean Supermarkets In Singapore that you can count on to provide you with all the Korean food items you will ever need.
