Korean Cuisine
First 1-for-1 dish with Burpple beyond membership :) have always wanted to try this interesting Korean noodle joint ;) Enjoyed the rich white wine garlic broth, with huge chunks of garlic in it - was really nice even for a non-garlic lover like me. The noodles were springy and resembled those that you get with Korean ramyun. They were really generous with the clams and mussels too!
The rich chicken broth was comforting especially for a cold rainy night. Was bubbling on serving hence the second photo to show the chicken - our main star in this dish!
Glutinous rice that was stuffed within the chicken created a congee-like texture. Had a bite out of the baby Korean ginseng - surprisingly, tasted like sweet potato :)
Recommended for cold nights if you are craving some rich chicken broth
Despite having eaten Korean cuisine several times, I am ashamed to say that this is my first ever kimchi pajeon.
The bright red pancake from the kimchi and visible cabbage amidst the flour was visually enticing. Have to say it’s an acquired taste however, not everyone might enjoy the sour taste that the pancakes have - from the kimchi. I was a fan of its crispy sides of each bite - maybe I would give the chives and the spring onion ones a go next!
Enjoyed this dish! Sweet potato glass noodles went well with the sauce and mushrooms :) must-try if you are there, although a tad on the pricy side as I thought it was usually a side dish.
An array of mixed banchan from my favourite Korean family restaurant! :) my favourite is the pickled kimchi cucumber with its wonderful refreshing taste. Appreciate how they will oblige with refilling of the sides of you request for them and the 2 mini yakult-ish probiotic drink they provided :)
Pleasant first experience at the gayageum Korean family restaurant! :) great service and the food was served with great presentation as well. The food was substantial in amount and particularly for ginseng chicken soup was rich and chicken was pleasantly tender. The glutinous rice was nicely cooked, a pleasant surprise when cutting into the whole chicken. Atmosphere was cosy! Will definitely go again :)
