Thanks to Chef's Noodle Singapore Facebook, some of us have a chance to be up and personal with award winning Korean Celebrity Chef Choi from "The Starking Series" at the newly opened Chef's Noodle outlet in Jurong Point.

Appetiser 1 : Buchu Saeu Twigim, Mandu Twigim Gamja Goroke
These are popular side dish and Korean street food. Buchu Saeu Twigim are chives and shrimps fritter. I found the serving too generous and I have to break it into small chucks. Mandu twigim is deep fried seafood dumplings. It tastes like fried wanton but the difference is the special wasabi dipping sauce which is hot hot hot! Gamja Goroke is deep fried croquettes. I like this savoury sweet appetiser the most as it is made of potato and yam paste. 

 
Appetiser 2 : Bossam
This is pork belly wrap. The vegetable is extremely fresh. The pork is juicy. I was told to prepare the wrap by placing pork belly, special Jang condiment, sliced raw garlic, sliced raw chilli and kimchi pickle in the large lettuce. In Korea, it is common to eat bossam in one gob!

 
Main Course 1 : Chef's Guksoo
This is their signature noodle dish! If this is your first visit, it is recommended to try this main course. I enjoy the soft textured noodles cooked with a concentrated broth! The logo on the egg pancake is personally hand-stamped by the Chef to retain the original Chef's Noodle logo. It requires dedicated skills to do it. Other ingredients include fresh vegetable garnishes, pork, beancurb, chives, silver sprout and seafood. This is really yummy and delicious!

 
Main Course 2 : Chef's Bibim Guksoo
This is their signature dried noodle which is loaded with delicious sauteed prok bulgogi. The shredded seaweed (imported from Korea) is simply awesome and fantastic! For those who love dried chilled noodle, you will enjoy this dish. I was told that in order to accommodate to our local Singaporean's taste, they have actually reduced the amount of chilli! In Korea, it will be much hotter for the same dish!

 
Drink : Iced Rubus Tea
Our meal will not be completed without this special iced rubus tea. I was told it was made with a special type of berries. It is light and sweet and it is a good compliment to the food.

 
Conclusion
My experience with Chef's Noodle is positive! If you are looking for traditional Korean food  mixed with a modern fushion twist, this is the place to go!

Highly recommended!

Food Tasting Smile Jun 26, 2014

I was happy to be invited by Nightdowhat and Openrice for a food tasting event at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro (QSFB) in Sentosa. I met up with another 2 OpenSnap users (Shermaine and Yun Hwa) and the 3 of us had a good time yesterday. My review are as below:

QSFB
This place has a wonderful cozy, fisherman themed atmosphere. I love the beautiful yacht scenery during sunset. This place attracts people who are into Mediterranean cuisine.

Rekorderlig Cider

 
The cider is pink with amazing inviting strawberry aroma. The taste is sweet with a subtle lime under tone. I found out Rekorderlig ciders come in at low ABV which makes this an exceptional refreshing drink.

Tuna Tataki

 
The cut of tuna fish were fresh and the sauces that complemented it married well. I like the pear crumble which Shida told us has a special yuzu taste.

Baked Barramundi

 
They served the barramundi whole and I love the red wine poached pear with lobster butter sauce and fried chorizo. There is a modern twist on the traditional dish which highlighted barramundi versatility.

QSFB's signature chilli crab linguine

 
Hey presto! I really whacked the whole plate of sweet and chilly linguine! The soft shell crabs are not overbattered or overfried and the crunch comes from the fried batter.

Homemade Tiramisu

 
The menu reads "The best in Sentosa, some say Singapore!" The rich rum and coffee-soaked lady fingers layered with generous custard and whipped cream leaves me wanting MORE! Really awesome dessert to wrap up for the day!

In conclusion, I will give a thumbs up for this great restaurant! Not only is the food wonderful (and aesthetically pleasant looking), the people are friendly and customer oriented and the atmosphere is pretty awesome as well.

Give this place a try!

Thank you
Special thanks to Reka (OpenRice), Eli and Sharon (Nightdowhat) and Shida (QSFB) for the invitation and hospitality and hosting us for the sumptuous dinner!
