Yum! The pork was lean and meaty but still tender and juicy, with generous servings of cucumber, kimchi radish, lettuce, and seaweed. I really liked the kimchi radish, it was sour and crunchy, not too raw or soft. I prefer a fried egg over a raw egg. Only thing was that my rice didn’t get crisp and crunchy at the bottom even though I gave it time to have surface contact with the dolsot, I’m not sure why haha

Their side dishes were great too - ikan bilis was puffy and crisp, not superrr salty and served with crunchy roasted peanuts. Kimchi was great too!! Very refreshing and crunchy, with good flavour, slightly spicy. Broccoli was normal, potato I’ve had nicer (maybe because I didn’t have it cold). I didn’t have the beancurd skin.

They also serve roasted tea here instead of normal plain water. I’ll say 50% of the Korean restaurants I’ve been to serve roasted tea so I can’t take it as the default, hence it is a plus point

Love the bibimbap here! The meats are always nicely marinated and tender, both the beef (which I tried previously) and this chicken. Chicken looks red and spicy but it was rly not spicy. The combination of vegetables is up my alley too - there’s zucchini, carrots, radish, Korean beansprouts, and gosari namul (bracken fiddleheads), something not commonly served in bibimbap in sg! The rice is plump and moist but not mushy, and forms this beautiful golden brown scorched rice (not burnt) which was sooo roasty and fragrant. And it’s cheap compared to Myung ga’s $20 bibimbap which I also enjoy. It’s a good portion that doesn’t make me feel stuffed.

Pork Belly l Pickled Mushroom l Dried Squid l
Dried Radish l Pickled Garlic Shoot l Baby Romaine Lettuce

Wooow this was good!! The pork belly was perfectly caramelised, each piece had a nice char and smoky flavour, and was soooo soft and tender. It was pretty fatty, but still very meaty. It got a bit too fatty for me after a few pieces so I had to remove the fats.

Sides were really nice too. The pickled garlic shoot was super good, felt like an interesting version of an asparagus. Dried radish and squid was crunchy and lightly spicy-sweet, and pickled mushrooms were p interesting, I didn’t expect them to be pickled so it was something different, having that sourness. Baby romaine was crisp and was a great vessel to hold everything.

Thought this would also go well with rice! It’s a great dish, I would definitely have it again. Felt that portion was pretty huge.

White kimchi l Radish l Red Dates

It’s white kimchi! With briny and sour flavours, it was rather refreshing, crunchy and delicate. The red dates gave a nice complementary natural sweetness. Worth a try!

Cauliflower l Rice Cake l Multigrain l Gochujang

Think sweet and sour pork but Korean style and vegetarian! I liked how the batter was of thick enough to have a nice crunch, but thin enough to not feel doughy. The cauli encased within is soft and tender. Good flavours, on the sweet side, and not too salty or spicy.

Couldn’t decide if I liked the like balls of rice cake, on one hand I like the rice flavour but the texture is a bit strange for me. Overall it’s yummy dish, I would order again!

Potato l Zucchini l Prawn l Onion Pickle

The jeon was v crisp, with each thin sliver of potato, zucchini and prawn coated with a batter and deep fried. I love crispy things and it was really crisp, but that was also its downfall.

There was no soft chewiness I would associate with a jeon, and I felt this was pretty dry and one dimensional. The onion pickle did little to help, it was not really my thing.

Overall it’s still decent, not horrible, but I was kinda disappointed with this dish. Maybe adding cheese would help. But this departs too far from my expectations of a jeon, I wouldn’t order again nor recommend.

Black Bean l Mascarpone Cheese l Chive Oil l Sourdough Cracker

Really enjoyed this! It was light and very refreshing. I liked the subtle sweetness of the black bean paired with the mascarpone, which was surprisingly not at all heavy. The sourdough crackers were crunchy and thin. I loved the small indentation of chive oil on the mascarpone, it was super flavourful and very unique. Definitely would order this again!

Quite liked the variety of banchan! Not outstanding but pretty decent.

Honestly quite liked this - had a good variety and was rather tasty. There’s spinach, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, Korean beansprouts, and one more item (was it burdock? I can’t rmb but I know it’s not typically served in the most Korean restaurants). Unfortunately the Bulgogi beef got pretty burnt and black, but the non-burnt parts were well-marinated and tender. Rice was decent! At this price, I wouldn’t mind having it if I’m around the area again.

Jjm was pretty good! Noodles were chewy, sauce was flavourful with generous portions of soft onions and pork. It was served piping hot so it was extra shiok.

Tangsuyuk was crisp and served in thick meaty chunks, they are once again super generous with portions, but I found some pieces a tad dry / hard. The sauce was quite tangy, reminded me of lemon chicken sauce. I liked that it was served separately on the side instead of being poured directly onto the meat - we get to decide how much sauce we want!

At this price point, it is really v value for money given the quality and portions, I would definitely come back for the jjm and also try their other dishes!

Rice could be better, it wasn’t as pearly and sticky as other Korean restaurants. I got some crispy(?)/dried bits. The mushrooms are juicy and flavourful, carrots and beansprouts were tasty, spinach was a bit salty. Sunny side egg was done properly! The minced pork was savoury and tasty. They're not very generous right ingredients. But ok it's great when I am leaving room for dessert!

Banchan:
- Corn was sweet and crunchy, not v jelat even tho it’s slathered in sauce
- Kimchi looks meh but is crunchy and spicy, tho not the best I’ve had
- Radish crunchy & slightly spicy, but didn’t appeal to me
- Seaweed was yummy! Had a slight sweetness to it
- Tofu was sweet, not usually a fan of this sort of banchan
- Ikan wasn’t too salty, also wasn’t sharp and pokey
- Cucumber was crunchy & slightly spicy, liked this better than the radish

Boribab - where the rice is boiled with barley. I liked the ingredients, each component was tasty but not salty nor heavy flavoured, variety of vegetables was good too. I particularly enjoyed the spinach and Korean beansprouts. Beef slices were cooked with onions and both were tender! Came with a smol bowl of doenjang stew which had cubed potatoes, zucchini(?) and firm tofu, was comforting but a little salty. Rice was slightly sticky, not too wet nor dry, was decent. Compared to hana k food’s (at velocity) bibimbap, this was cleaner/lighter in flavour. I would patronise either restaurant again when I’m hankering for Korean food.
