This is my first time trying authentic korean food! Usually i had kimchi ramen @ foodcourt, which is just normal instant noodle ridiculously priced at $5.00 (i'm crazy to pay that money for instant noodles too.. but sometimes just have that cravings for kimchi). This restaurant is really authentic! Not in terms of the interior decor (it's so plain and dull! Maybe that's how usual restaurants look like in Korea) but the food is pretty decent.
The meal started with a series of 6 dishes (free~but i think they charged)... 1. kimchi 2. anchovies 3. bean sprouts 4. cucumber 5. long beans? 6. ???. I like the idea of eating with the heavy metal chopsticks and rice served in metal bowl... So authentic~~
We ordered fried spicy squid and it comes with a plate of lettuce. You are supposed to wrap the squid in the lettuce and eat.
Korean rice cakes- One of their local delicalies which many people raved to me about!! It tastes like chee cheong fun to me tho. I feel that the dishes were not spicy enough... looked very red but it was still quite mild.
Oh... er... i have a soft-spot for noodles... still had my kimchi ramen in the end... altho it's still instant noodles (not crystal jade handmade ramen) but slightly more liao4 (ingredients) as compared to kopitiam? Ok.. i'm just cheating myself... so guys, just go ahead and try their main dishes... don't fall for instant noodles which throws in a few seaweeds and kimchi and priced it at $9++ -_-""Missing in the pic is the Korean staple- Ginseng Chicken Soup. Very generous portion with the chicken.. i think the whole chicken is inside... What was interesting about the soup was that there were glutinous rice in it!?!?! I'm not a very ginseng person so don't really know how to appreciate.
Overall, i find this place pretty value for $$.. costs about $15-$18 per person. No service charge and gst. And there is a free flow of the cold dishes and free refill of your ginseng soup. A new place to bring my friends to try!!
