Was walking around Food Republic thinking of what to eat for dinner and remembered the Korean Food Stall my sis told me about.

Decided to drop by, and the stall had a medium size seating area dedicated to it, with utensils and free supply of kimchi on each each.

You can choose to be seated first then place your orders or you can order at the counter.

I had the Kimchi Fried Rice ($6). It came with rice and a side plate for you to dish out kimchi from the container of awesome kimchi. The kimchi is really good and i think if not for the kimchi i had say the Kimchi Fried Rice is so-so only. For every mouthful of fried rice i would accompany it with the kimchi. As i mentioned earlier, there is a free flow of kimchi. Awesome right?!

Anyway the fried rice is also served on a hotplate which is quite cool and piping hot. 👍 First few bites i am like this is good! But after awhile it gets quite boring. And the rice consistency is also like mian-mian (sorry i don't knkw how to explain this in english. Soggy but not that soggy kind?)

Overall i had say the kimchi would definitely appeal to me next time.

Korean Fare at Causeway Point!

 I opted to go for the Korean Hotstone Mixed Rice (with Chicken, $6.80) since the Bibimbap is one of my favorite Korean food. ​N​ote that they have two versions of the mixed rice. One is the Korean Mixed Rice ($5.80) that comes in a standard ​b​owl, and the other is the Korean Hotstone Mixed Rice ($6.80) that comes in a stone bowl. I ​opted for the latter.

The Hotstone Mixed Rice came piping hot and was quite spicy for me. But overall it was tasty​ and I liked the taste of the BBQ chicken, though I wished there were more of it! I also love that the rice got a little burnt and crisp towards the bottom of the stone bowl; this is ​the reason why I ​usually ​opt for the ​hotstone version;​ it really brought out the flavour of the ​food! ​​

 ​​​​The other dish we got was the Korean Zazang Noodles ($7.00), which came with BBQ chicken and some vegetables (potato, carrots and sliced cucumbers) to mix with. It ended up looking like Char Kway Tiao. The vegetables were not seasoned and while we are supposed to mix and eat it with the paste which would add to the flavour, my mum and I thought that the ​taste of the paste was not very stron​g and the vegetables still ended up tasting rather bland. ​The noodles fared a little better with the paste though.

 ​We also got the Chicken Noodles​ ($6.70). The dish looked plain and it had only some shredded chicken meat, sliced cucumber and an egg in it​ along with the noodles, which was the same type of noodles as the Korean Zazang Noodles. While I found the soup tasty, I thought that the lack of ingredients really doesn't justify the price; we even had to dig around looking for shreds of meat! My dad found it pleasant enough and easy o​n​ the throat though​, especially since he was just recovering from a sore throat​.

Overall, ​I'd recommend getting their rice-based meals than the noodle dishes since since the rice dishes seem more filling. If you are thinking of giving the Korean Mixed Rice a try, go for the Hotstone version if you want a more 'authentic' taste!

 ​​There ​are also free kimchi ​cabbages ​and ​kimchi pickles on the table​s​ that you can ​take with your meal, but we ate them while waiting for our dishes to arrive. Pretty spicy stuff even for side dishes,​ I'd suggest eating them with ​the food!

 ​The food are mostly priced​ ​a little higher than standard food court fare, but it was the drinks that we found to be the pricey ones​. ​We got the Crushed Peach and Sikhae Rice Drink ($2.50 each) just to try some Korean-made beverages, and the cans were smaller than expected.​ If you want a drink to help you cope with the spicy food, I think it'd be better to either try out the Korean-made drinks if you have not tried them before, or just rely on your soup if your dish comes with it, or just hang in there until you finish your meal and get a drink elsewhere! ​
