Chef's Noodle (已結業)

If you're looking for something authentic, you might want to consider Chef's Noodle. As part of the Korean food street, the dishes offered are uniquely and authenticly korean. I know this because I had the privilege to meet the Head Chef behind the restaurant, who had flown in from Korea to impart his skills.the menu is pretty and presented various specialties that provides a homely feeling.from black to white pages, the restaurant offers a wide variety of healthy food with protein selection.the menu is also pretty detailed, so you don't have to ask what the name means or refers to.the portion was exactly what i saw in the menu and i loved the egg. it was sweet, a lovely addition to the dish!the potato croquettes are made up of yam paste and potato. it's contrasting flavours of sweet and savoury is very well-balanced, and crispy at the same time. would definitely recommend this dish.this is the first signature that you'd see in the menu... they are so generous with their ingredients that i think the hearty bowl could be shared among two people.lots of varieties and ingredients — i could hardly tell what i was eating because all was yummy! 繼續閱讀

Hot green tea was priced at $2.50 and came in a small glass cup. Somehow, it tasted very bland, definitely not worth the $2.50++. Pictured is the daehan deopbap, priced at $14.90. It is something like bibimbap. There are shredded beef, assorted tempura (batter was bland), tamago, and some assorted vegetables (beansprouts.etc) found in bibimbap. The sauce was sweet and the amount given was just right to be mixed together with the ingredients. It was quite filling and was surprisingly good. However, service was rather slow. 繼續閱讀

More reviews at www.umakemehungry.comBesides Japanese, Hong Kong Street in Jurong Point, you can find a few shops with Korean Cuisine in their Korean Street at the basement, namely, Seoul Garden, Chef's Noodle and Korbi Grill. We was torn between the decision of having Chef Noodle and Korbi Grill after seeing both menu at each of their entrance. Luckily, the dining concept allow customers to enjoy the best of both world, thus no more headaches on where to dine now.We were directed into Korbi Grill dining area and the in house menu was cutely designed with a chopboard template in the background.Dining area was rather quiet during our time of visit but I guessed we were rather early for dinner.Beverages like Iced Citrus and Rubus were elegantly served with a preserved cherry and a slice of orange.The best part of enjoying korean food is to be served with the authentic kimchi and pickles - these comes along with the serving of the main.Chef Guksoo is their signature Noodle dish, with Beef broth was savory-sweet flavoured. To enhance the level of taste, stewed Pork Bulgogi, and a healthy dose of fresh vegetable garnishes were added in. My attention was stolen by the egg with some wordings imprinted on it. My friend was joking that it looked like a talisman to her. The servers were very attentive to our needs, knowing that we were sharing the big bowl of noodles, she had given us 2 smaller bowls to divide the portion between ourselves. In a closer look, luncheon meat and Tau Pok was added too. Noodles texture was way soft, perhaps if they were cook abit longer, it wont turn them into sogginess. To be frank, I'm not very used to such texture.Korbi Grill prides itself with an eclectic fusion of part Korean, part Western fare, focusing on grilling the steak on hot stone, while complementing it with Korean 장 (Jang - dipping sauces) and Korean sides like 떡볶이 (Tteokbokki).While the steak sizzles under the dry heat of the hot lava stone, the aroma from the succulent ribeye lured us into temptations making us feeling hungrier each time as the second hand ticked. Beef lover, there are no choices of wellness for us, rather diners have to handle such good slab of meet on the hot lava stone ourselves.To ensure that every piece was cooked to our desired doneness, we have the 250g cut into pieces even though it sizzling is still spilling some juices out on and off.Korbi Grill's steaks are served with a small portion of kimchi, and over with either korean Mushroom Sauce or Spicy Bulgogi Sauce. This side is complimentary with the main course and can also be ordered separately at $3.90 each. Rice cakes were chewy and together with the sauce, it was appetizing.With the promotion, customers are entitle to purchase their soup of the day at a special pricing, $1.99. Miso Seafood soup was well flavoured, generously loaded with clams, squid and fish meat. After the session of Noodles and meat - best of both worlds, my vote will go to Korbi Grill. Though the Chef's Noodle Menu presented by award-winning Korean Celebrity Chef Choi In Sun, it was lacking the biting texture which I look out for. As for Korbi Grill, the DIY (Do It Yourself) experience was fun and indulging. Meat was succulent and having to pair them with the mushroom sauce was totally heavenly. It does worth the money that we had paid for. 繼續閱讀

"Celebrity Chef Choi In Sun from Chef's Noodle will be coming to Singapore during the last week of June 2014. We would like to invite you to a dine with Chef Choi event on 29th June 12.30pm to 3pm at Jurong Point Shopping Centre." When I received the message, I was so surprised. Of course I replied that I will be coming. Chef’s Noodle Singapore is officially opened on 5th April at HarbourFront Centre, serving Korean - Japanese dishes with a modern fusion twist. It origins from South Korea, with the menu items each individually and personally ‘crafted’ by a South Korea’s Chef Personality – Chef Choi.Each of us is given a discount voucher at the registration counter. A few lucky ones even get extra when they sit at the lucky tables.The restaurant is quite big in space, as it takes over the space of a seafood restaurant called Pioneer Wharf 百盛海鲜酒楼. The place is decorated in light and wooden tones.Ice Rubus Tea ($4.90)We are offered this upon seated at the table. Refreshing but tastes like Ribena to me.The Chef Choi In Sun starts the event with a cooking demonstration on Chef's Bulchobap (Sparkling Fire Sushi). The skillfulness in slicing the beef to shaping the rice to torching the thin slices of meat on the balls of sushi rice. It is a spectator sight to see the real guy in action. I am lucky to get a taste of the sushi made by the chef himself and fed by the chef himself. It tastes simple melt in the mouth. Besides the original, it is served topped with 3 different sauces : sesame sauce, chilli sauce and garlic-mayonnaise sauce. It is served with wasabi dipping sauce which is quite watery and light in taste with a slight hint of wasabi.Next we are shown a demonstration by the chef in eating Chef's Guksoo the Korean style. It seems that the correct way to put a bit of everything into the spoon and fill the spoon with soup. It is quite interesting to know that korean guys tends to eat with the bowl next to the mouth and loudly too.Steamer Basket of Buchu Saeu Twigim, Mandu Twigim, and Gamja Goroke, served with Wasabi dipping sauce.Buchu Saeu Twigim ($6.90) is actually Chives And Shrimps Fritter which is a popular street food. A light batter to coat the marinated chives and dried shrimps before sending in for deep-frying to give that crackling crunch. It is dusted with light curry powder to give that robust flavour before serving. It is very crunchy and big in size, but quite oily too. Best break it into pieces first before eating.Mandu Twigim ($5.90) is actually Deep-fried Seafood Dumplings. Crispy on the outside, it is quite juicy inside.Gamja Goroke is actually Deep-fried Croquettes and which is a popular street food. It is made of potato and yam paste, which is why it tastes savoury-sweet.For appetiser : we have of a choice of Chef's Bulchobap (Sparkling Fire Sushi) and Bossam (Pork Belly Wrap).Chef's Bulchobap (Sparkling Fire Sushi) ($6.90)Sushi rice ball, topped with a slice of marbled Wagyu Beef, glazed with a coat of sweetened Bulchobap sauce and flambe over a torch of fire to grill the meat. Tastes quite smooth but it is a great different from the one made by the chef himself and do not have melt in the mouth texture.For the mains, we have a choice of Chef's Guksoo , Daehan Deopbap and Chef's Bibim Guksoo (Signature Pork Bulgogi Dried Noodles).Chef's Guksoo (Signature Chef's Noodle)Soft textured noodles in concentrated, savoury- sweet flavoured beef broth (Chef’s Guksoo) that comes with a tinge of slight peppery aftertaste. To add depth to the broth, topped with a slowly stewed Pork Bulgogi, and a healthy dose of fresh vegetable granishes. The soup is quite flavourful that one cannot taste that it is actually beef broth. The noodle looks like wanton mee but in a softer version. The dish is topped with beancurd puff, chives, egg roll, 3 coloured roll (Koreans usually eat this during special festival) and Pork Bulgogi. The egg roll is quite soft and fluffy like a sponge cake. Someone asks the chef about the making of the egg roll but he refuses to disclose, except that it is made in korean style. The pork is quite tender and flavourful. The 3 coloured roll is made of 3 items (think it looks like rice cake, crab stick, and green chilli) deep fried in batter. Daehan Deopbap (Signature Korean-styled Rice Tub) ($12.90)It is actually Deep-fried Stuffed Pepper Rice. The pepper is deep fried in tempura style and does not taste spicy. Kind of reminds me of Yong Tau Foo. Another interesting item in this dish is the octopus patty, which looks simple brown but tastes crunchy. It also has the sweet and fluffy egg roll as well as the 3 coloured roll in it. Other then that, it is Bibimbap served in a wooden tub. Tasty but I prefer Bibimbap served hot in the stone pot. Overall the food is delicious but we are too full to finish all. Nice place and just next to the MRT station. 繼續閱讀
