[CLOSED] CafeMama (The Clementi Mall)

Enjoyed a bowl of spicy ramyeon from this Korean casual dining place in Clementi Mall, perfect for a rainy day!

Drop by Cafe Mama for some pre-dinner snacks. Cafe Mama located at Clementi Mall dish out Korean Comfort Food - think Dosirah, Ramen, fried chicken and even Patbingsu!
Their Kimbap ($7.90) - available in many Flavours (tuna, kimchi, Korean fish cake) and their Comforting Fish Cake Soup ($3.90) would be a very good pairing.
This was a hosted tasting courtesy of @cafemamasg, thank you @alhsx for extending the invite.

CafeMama serves up comfort korean delights & is helmed by Korean chef Emily Oh Young!
One of the items we managed to try was the Beef Bulgogi Dosirak (도시락) Lunch Box ($9.90). Looking similar to lunch boxes that parents would usually pack for their kids, the metal tin box contains steamed rice, a sunny side egg, a side of beef bulgogi, kimchi & seaweed!
How it usually is consumed is to close the tin box, shake up the ingredients to have a good mix & you're ready to eat!
If it feels too messy to eat it that way, you can have it as it is, pilling the ingredients on your spoon before consuming.
Apart from Dosirak, you'd be able to find jjigae, fried chicken, kimbap & ramyeon available too! I'll be sharing more in an upcoming post soon.

The iced Sikhye ($2.50) offered a light refreshing sweetness at the beginning of each mouthful and we enjoyed how the rice fragrance would slowly dissipate at the back of our throats when we swallowed it. Also, the residues of cooked rice added an interesting texture to the drink.
.
Also, we got the Budae Jigae Ramyeon ($9.90). The ramyeon came in a pretty big bowl and consist of standard army stew ingredients like sausage, luncheon meat, tofu and fishcakes which were all pretty tasty. However, the crux to this dish was the soup base which we thought could be more savoury and that spiciness could be down a notch as well. Another issue was that the noodles was overcooked and tasted slightly soggy.
.
We also ordered the Chap Chae + Soy Chicken Dosirak ($9.90) that came in a rectangular metal box. This dish was right up our alley. The soya sauce chicken was very tender and savoury while the chap chae provided an added sesame fragrance. It felt like we were eating both rice and noodles at the same time due to the glass noodles in the chap chae. Add a piece of kimchi and a piece of egg to each spoonful of this rice mixture for an extra palatable bite!
.
The final item that we got was the 6 pieces Fried Chicken ($7.90) that came in a mix of wingettes and drumettes. There are two flavours to choose from: spicy and soy, and you are allowed to mix the flavours. The chicken was very tender on the inside and was mildly crispy on the outside as the sauce had seeped into the skin, making it less crunchy but more flavourful. Both of us concurred that the soy chicken tasted better than its spicy counterpart as the spicy sauce was rather overwhelming, drawing our attention away from the meat itself.

Thought the combination of meat, seaweed, fried egg would bring out some savouriness but nope. ・
