Kko Kko Nara
Sunday, 1 December 2013 | 19:15 | 0 comments

Kko Kko Nara was recommended to me by several people. They were saying the fried chicken is one of the best in Singapore. Reviews on HGW were very favourable and it was on my friend's map of Best Korean Food in Singapore . Thus, it became one of my must-visit places. I visited the restaurant twice and the following photos are a combination of two visits:


Spicy Ramyeon with Tteok
 Assorted chicken Platter
Gamjajeon
 Garlic fried chicken platter
 Sam Gae Tang
Buchujeon
My recommendations for Kko Kko Nara are the fried garlic chicken, Sam Gae Tang and buchujeon. Among the three chicken flavours offered at the restaurant, I find the garlic marinated ones the best. The garlic sauce has a sweet flavour to it. The crispiness of the fried chicken , together with this awesome sauce was so heavenly! The Buchujeon (i.e. fried leek pancake) is  crispy with juicy leeks within. Sam Gae Tang was really good because the chicken was cooked to perfection. The meat was so tender..Thumbs up!! The downside is that the dishes are pretty costly. I can't remember the prices of every single dish. But I do know that the Ramyeon is between $12 to $18 and the assorted chicken platter is $25. A bowl of korean instant noodles for that price is absolutely crazy.

Togi Korean Restaurant
Wednesday, 20 November 2013 | 08:28 | 0 comments

My friend told me that her previous korean language teacher told her that there is a Korean food map and guide compiled by their agriculture ministry for Koreans who are residing in Singapore about the locations of authentic Korean restaurants. Togi Restaurant is one of the recommended places taken from the map and it is located along Mosque street in Chinatown.




The banchans were really tasty. I loved the anchovies the most. The stir-fried spicy marinated chicken was not overly-spicy, not overly-sweet: Huge thumbs up. The kimchi pancakes were too dry. As for the spicy chicken soup, the flavour of the soup is fantastic. However, the shreds of chicken in the soup were not marinated and mainly absorbed flavour from the soup. Overall the spicy chicken soup was good, but not the best that I had. Further improvements could be made by increasing the flavour of the chicken shreds. In general, I enjoyed the meal that I had at Togi. The price was acceptable as well. Each dish costs less than $20.

2D1N Korean BBQ & ReStore Living
Sunday, 17 November 2013 | 02:09 | 0 comments

My friend and I wanted to try the 2D1N Korean BBQ Buffet for dinner. As the place was known to be extremely crowded, we tried to reach the place earlier so that we can place our names in the queue. We got to Tanjong Pagar Road much much earlier than expected, hence we decided to walk along the stretch of shop houses.

We found ReStore, a vintage furniture shop cum cafe and decided to have a drink and chit-chat until the dinner opening hours for 2D1N. There are like vintage wooden chairs suspending in mid-air:

 The food on the ReStore menu are mainly homemade waffles and Bagels.
We ordered the Pure canadian waffles together with a scoop of chocolate ice cream for sharing.

Our Beverages: I ordered iced tea while my friend got coffee.

I loved the cookies that came together with the coffee. My friend is not a really a fan of such confectioneries and she shoved them to me. The waffles tasted pretty good!!It was crispy on the outside and really fluffy on the inside. Thumbs up!! Unfortunately, my camera battery died at our Korean BBQ dinner. Managed to get one shot of our meats cooking and sizzling on the hot plate.





2D1N has lived up to its reputation. Wide variety of meats are well-marinated and delicious. The kimchi soup and spicy rice cakes are equally yummy!! They cooked their own korean dessert drink (sik hye) and it was sooooo tasty. The price for the BBQ buffet was also very affordable. We paid $26.90 per pax for our dinner buffet. I definitely will patronize 2D1N again.
