Guksu Noodle House - Handmade Korean Noodles

Guksu is a new Korean homemade noodle restaurant that opened its first Singapore outlet in Suntec City less than a month ago. "Guksu" is the collective term for noodles or noodle dishes in Korean. There is no shortage of Korean restaurants in Singapore but most of them do not offer many choices in terms of noodles. I believe Guksu is one of the first restaurant to focus on Korean noodles.

 
 
 
 
There are three types of noodles to choose from: So Meon, Jung Meon and Kal Guksu, defined by the thickness of the noodles.

 

 
 
 
There are three soup bases to choose from: Sae Woo (prawn), Jo Gae (clam) and Yuk Gae (beef) and then there is Bibim (dry).
 
 
 
The set meal is more value for money with main, side dish and Korean corn tea (hot/cold).
 
 
I ordered Doenjang Beef Guksu as a set. 
 
 
Doenjang Beef Guksu is made of bean paste beef broth, sliced fresh wagyu beef, boiled egg, bracken, taro stem, white carrot, bean sprout and leek. I regretted ordering Doenjang Beef Guksu because I am not used to the bean paste beef broth, I should have ordered Classic Beef Guksu instead. Nevertheless, the ingredients are fresh.
 
 
Although Guksu is a Korean noodle house, the star of the restaurant is really the deep fried drumstick. The available flavours are: classic (honey mustard dipping sauce), spicy, soya (sweet soya sauce), garlic soya and teriyaki.
 
I had the Deep Fried Teriyaki Drumstick. The skin is very crispy and the meat is very tender, but a little under-marinated. The teriyaki sauce is a little too salty.
 
 
I chose So Meon noodles which is the thinnest of the three types of noodles, and I don't like it very much. It is too thin and it tastes more like "kway teow" than noodles.

 

 
I have no idea why they gave me unagi instead of "sliced fresh wagyu beef" as in the description on the menu. Perhaps they ran out of wagyu beef and decided to replace it with unagi? If that is the case, shouldn't they at least inform me before they decide to take things into their own hands? This is unacceptable!
 
 
I like the striped design of the boiled egg.

 

 
I ordered Hot Korean Corn Tea and I really like it. It is very subtle in taste and it is perfect for cleansing the palate after a hot bowl of Korean guksu.
 
Although there is definitely room for improvement especially in the service area, Guksu is an interesting restaurant worth trying out. I will definitely be back to try out all three soup bases and the other four flavours of drumstick.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
