I never quite developed a penchant for Korean cuisine, so I must say that I was pretty skeptical when my friend suggested Seoul Yummy for lunch. Tip: If you ever visit during lunch like we did, you might find only the lunch set menu on the table. Do request for the main a la carte menu for a greater variety to choose from.The outlet at Clark Quay was nicely set up, with a casual, comfortable environment.

The outlet at Clark Quay was nicely set up, with a casual, comfortable environment. Service was prompt as well, with the waitress serving us banchan (Korean side dishes) within minutes of our order.
The side dishes apparently come complimentary with every meal - and the 6 sides available really wakes up the palette with stark contrast in taste and heat all round. Two other starters we ordered:
Kimchi Pancake, $6.90 - a staple at most authentic Korean restaurants. The pancake has the consistency of fish otah, slightly more doughy, and an underlying sweetness that is very much offset by spice.
Korean Fried Gyoza, $6.90 for 6 pieces - pretty much similar to standard gyoza only smaller, but every bit as savoury!
Highlight of the meal would still be my main course, Rabokki aka Korean Rice Cake Noodles, $8.90. In just that one dish alone, I enjoyed the chewy texture of the stir-fried rice cakes with springy ramen noodles perfectly al dente, all dipped in a gelatinous sauce that was both sweet and spicy at the same time. Classically Korean.At just $38 for a 2-pax lunch, Seoul Yummy is just so yummy at a level where my wallet will not hurt. It's under $10 for every dish I had! Will definitely re-visit at a later date. 'Army Stew' perhaps?
