Hwang's at Utown

We went to Hwang's Korean cafe at University Town @ NUS. I've read reviews that they were cheap and good. Since it was nearby, I decided to check it out. Indeed it was cheap and good! Authentic Korean fare at pocket friendly prices. We ordered 2 soups + 1 drink and it cost us a total of $12. That includes the NUS staff discount (dinner date was NUS staff) but even before discount it was possibly $15 for 2 people. Still a very good deal. 

It was a canteen style - so you go to the counter and order ala Ikea style, pay there and then they will recognise your face and send your order to your table when it's done.

The korean ginseng chicken soup had 1/2 a chicken in it and the Kimchi soup was very wholesome. The only disappointment was that there was not enough kimchi but I'm not complaining for the price we paid. Will definitely be back!

Kim Chi Soup @ 311

Had a Korean Food craving and so I went to one of the food stalls at the Somerset 311's food court. $5 got me a bowl of Kimchi soup (chicken) with rice and some kimchi + ikan billis. Quite value for money and fills the tummy. But I don't fill like I've had my kim chi fix yet. Need to schedule a trip down to Ju Shin Jung soon. I miss their kim chi. :/

Homemade Kimchi Pasta

A good friend of mine, Charles, made an angel hair pasta for me. He znnged it up by adding kimchi on the side. Really yummy. Wonderful lower carb meal. (Look at the amount of protein versus carbs)

Nothing beats an awesome home made meal :)

The Corner Place @ Marina Square

Was supposed to meet a friend for lunch but he had a last minute emergency and had to cancel on me. Decided to look for a place to eat at Marina Square (since I was already there) that wasn't too crowded. Walked up to the food court and realised that there was no space and then I chanced up The Corner Place. They were having lunch specials, 8 side dishes and a main for only $9.80 (tax included). Decided to stuff my face with Bibimbap and went in.

Had to wait quite some time for the food to be ready. Not sure why as the restaurant wasn't even 40% full. In any case, it was well worth the wait. Rice, ingredient ratio was well done and I let the rice burn a little in the stone bowl. 

The side dishes were very nice, but not free flow unfortunately. Not gonna complain considering that I paid less than $10 for the entire meal. Will be back again!

Korean BBQ at Ju Shin Jung

I love Korean BBQ and one of my favourite places to go for it is at Ju Shin Jung-YESS branch.

They usually have a lunch buffet but I went for the ala carte for lunch. You need at least 2 dish orders from the ala carte menu to have the BBQ. I love the free flow side dishes and the vegetable and chili wrap thing that they provide on the side. Meats are well marinated and you don't have to worry about cooking as the staff will assist you.

Will definitely be back again for my Korean comfort food.
