We were craving for Korean food but wanted to escape the packed town area on a Friday night, so decided to try out this Korean restaurant at Novena.Initially my friend craved for Ginseng Chicken Soup, but as the serving looked huge from the menu picture and I didn't want that, she gave up the idea & we ordered a Dakgalbi to share instead. Dakgalbi is actually stir-fried spicy chicken on the frying wok. It was great! The kimchi side dish was good as well, not too sour. But 1 thing weird is we
Initially my friend craved for Ginseng Chicken Soup, but as the serving looked huge from the menu picture and I didn't want that, she gave up the idea & we ordered a Dakgalbi to share instead. Dakgalbi is actually stir-fried spicy chicken on the frying wok. It was great! The kimchi side dish was good as well, not too sour. But 1 thing weird is we didn't understand why they gave the braised eggs as one of the side dishes? Localised Korean side dish? Lol...... Oh btw we were told that we were only allowed 1 free refill of the side dishes.
When we were almost finishing our Dakgalbi, I thought it would be good if we can try at least 1 other dish from this restaurant, just to gauge the standard So I picked the Kimchi jeon (kimchi pancake) as it would not be as filling as other main dishes, but gosh, the pancake was so big! It's pretty nice too but still we couldn't finish the whole pancake as we were really full after eating a few slices each.
However one thing that we couldn't resist to stop eating was the black beans! It was really good! It didn't come as one of the side dishes in our first round. So when it appeared in the second serving, we were so happy with it that we requested to change 1 of the side dishes that we didn't want to eat anymore haha.
I would recommend friends to visit this Korean restaurant if they want some simple yet traditional Korean fare.
