Kimchi Korean Restaurant

It has been a little more than a year since Kimchi Korean Restaurant opened its first outlet in Suntec City Mall. Helmed by Head Chef Choi Ming Chul who has experience working at Ritz Carlton and Marina Bay Sands, bringing you authentic Korean cuisine.

 

 
I have always liked Korean spoon and chopstick because the beautiful design exude such elegance. However, due to its slick design and stainless-steel material, it tires the hand after prolonged holding.
 
 
Bulgogi Beef Dolsot Bap is a signature Korean dish made with seasoned Korean rice, inoki mushroom, beef bulgogi and poached egg. It is originally served in hot stone bowl, but I think they ran out of it so it was served in a stainless-steel bowl instead.
 
 
Ya Chae Dolsot Bap is vegetable bibimbap served in a very hot stone bowl (ya chae means "vegetables" and dolsot means "stone pot"). Jeonju, the capital of North Joella Province of South Korea, is famous for dolsot bibimbap, which is said to be based on a royal court dish of the Joseon Dynasty.

 

 
Ginseng Chicken Soup is Samgyetang in Korean which is a soup made of a whole young chicken filled with garlic and rice, scallion, spices, jujube (red date) and Korean ginseng. It is a soup that is traditionally drunk on sambok days (first, middle and last day of the hottest period in a year). However, Kimchi Korean Restaurant's Ginseng Chicken Soup lacks depth. It tastes like a watered-down version of the real thing.

 

 
Steamed Egg is Gyeran Jjim in Korean. It is often served as a side dish (banchan).  Cooking this dish requires extreme attention and patience to achieve the desired light and fluffy texture. Kimchi Korean Restaurant's version is made with diced carrots and spring onions, and it tastes delicious although it sinks slightly in the centre.

 

 
As a kimchi lover, I have the bad habit of judging a Korean restaurant by the kimchi they serve. Kimchi Korean Restaurant's kimchi attains the perfect balance of spiciness and sourness. 
 
 
Besides dolsot bap and various signature Korean soups, Kimchi Korean Restaurant also has Korean BBQ with meats such as pork cheek fillet, angus beef rib and wagyu beef short rib. There are also porridge, ramens and steaks available. Dessert features the famous busan hodduk, mochi and handmade Korean ice-creams. 
 
I have just learnt that an express version of Kimchi Korean Restaurant called Kimchi Xpress has opened at the newly-renovated Shaw Centre. I will find a chance to check that one out.

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...
