Started in Busan, Korea since 1981, Yoogane is considered one of the most popular and best chicken galbi restaurant in Korea.Not only in Korea, having opened their second outlet in Singapore, they are rather well-received here as queues are always seen forming outside the shop.Don't be taken aback by the queues which seems to give the impression that its gonna be a long wait.

Not only in Korea, having opened their second outlet in Singapore, they are rather well-received here as queues are always seen forming outside the shop. Don't be taken aback by the queues which seems to give the impression that its gonna be a long wait. It really did need a little time for the service staff to clear the queue due to the fact that you need to place your order first before you will be ushered into the restaurant.
The first thing that the service staff showed us when we were seated was the built-in drawer where all the cutlery and tissue are placed. Red aprons are placed on all tables for every customer to wear it on to prevent being spattered by the sauce or oil during the cooking process. It's also a great helper for preventing your clothes from staining if you accidentally dropped the food. Kudos to the restaurant for such thoughtfulness. Apart from the apron, ice water are also an item that can be found on each table. Readily prepared for those who need to cool down the hotness of the spicy sauce. Help yourself to the salad bar situated at the centre of the restaurant for sides like kimchi and pickles. With choices of juices, alcohols, hot and cold teas in the menu, this is what we are having today.
Brown Rice Green Tea and Barley Tea (S$1.90 each)
The two refillable tea in the menu where the barley tea has a very strong roasted fragrance while the brown rice green tea needs no further introduction. Hot beverages are definitely better cooling agent for spicy stuff. According to the service staff, their popular item that is widely liked by their customers gotta be the chicken galbi. We are fans of variety so we went for the seafood and chicken mix instead.
Something to take note, every order of the main item has to be in a minimum of two portions, so its rather impossible to dine alone here unless you have a big appetite.
Seafood and Chicken Galbi (S$52.90 2 to 3 pax)
Tender chicken meat, baby octopus, squids and prawns marinated with their unique blend of spicy sauce and seasoning.
The cooking is done right in front of your eyes by the service staff. You may opt to add on rice or noodles for a more filling meal. Select from a variety of noodles ranging from ramyeon noodles, sticky noodles to udon noodles.
Ramyeon Noodles (S$3.90)
One portion of chewy noodles. Its delicious when cooked together with the rest of the ingredients and blended with the spicy sauce. Cooking starts now! Here comes the baby octopus and squids joining in the crowd. Lastly, ramyeon noodles in the house. Viola! And its time to attack the food. Ingredients were fresh and the unique spicy sauce is spicier than I thought but still bearable for a person who can't really take spicy stuff. We first thought the one portion of ramyeon noodles might not be enough to fill two stomachs but it turns out we were so full our stomach almost burst.
