Their Menu

Bibimbap $5

Food / Beverage 9
Extra Information
--> To "bibim" is to "stir together" vegetable or meat toppings with boiled calrose rice ("bap"). There are innumberable varities of bibimbap but the most popular are perhaps those that use a dolsot or stone bowl.

In this case, the auntie chose to use a metal bowl instead of stone bowl which will affect the taste.
If Bibimbap are served in stone bowl or dolsot, the bap will tend to be more fragrant.
Gochujang chile paste given are not much too, thus the taste are not very strong.
Ingredients that auntie has put in her Bibimbap is those that can be easily found and instead of Brussels sprouts, she chose to put beansprouts.
Despite quite a lot of negative comments from me, the rating given is so high is because it's ADDICTIVE.
Simple but it's very nice. I'm serious, this dish is awesome and it gives a "homely" taste & feeling.

Kimchi Soup w rice w side dish $5.50

Food / Beverage 8.5
This dish at only $5.50 comes with rice, soup & side dish, it's definitely filling & value for money!
The taste that affects the kimchi soup is obviously kimchi and as i have mentioned, this stall is run by a Korean auntie, so what do you ppl think the taste of the kimchi will be like?
AWESOME!

Black Noodle $4.50

Food / Beverage 7
You know how in Korean dramas, those people will order “炸酱面” & slurp it out in big mouthfuls? Those scenes make me go crazy! They always manage to look like its SUPER NICE.
I was so excited to try out this dish & when the dish was served & tried, i was kind of disappointed.
It tastes normal, a bit watery but despite so, i still like it.
It defers for everyone, but for me, i think Korean dishes are seriously very addictive.

Stir Fry Rice Cake $5.50

Food / Beverage 8.5
Another dish that is frequently featured in Korean dramas.
Kimchi, meat, rice cake, carrots, onions all taste yummy-licious! The sauce & the rice cake are the ones that affect the overall taste the most and in this case, the rice cake is chewy enough, not too tough not too soft, just nice. The sauce is spicy to give you the kick.
GOOD!

Seafood Pancake $5

Food / Beverage 8
The prawns and sotong insides are fresh enough.
Seafood pancake is what Koreans love to eat and what makes up a good pancake?
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Yes in this case, the pancake is cooked to a perfection. The outside is a bit charred which makes it crispy and the inside is chewy, soft, overflowing with the abundance of ingredients.


Ambience 6
It's pretty small and so if you go during lunch time hours, be prepared to stand & wait for seats.
Good thing? since it's situated in a shopping mall, there's air con! So for people who sweat while having their meals, don't worry! =)

Value 8
No GST nor Service Charge, prices are reasonable, definitely worth the money!

Service 7.5
The chinese auntie who serves the dishes will chat with you if you take the initiative to talk to her. The Korean auntie who cooks are friendly too! As h'm learning my Korean language, i chatted with the auntie, a bit kind of like chicken & duck?
But overall, i enjoyed myself be it food or with the service.


Summing Up,
The dishes are that are spicy has the kick factor, so people who likes spicy dishes, be sure to try out their kimchi soup & their rice cake.
For me, i will definitely be back to try the rest of the dishes =)
