Woolee Korean Cuisine @ Wisma Atria

Where can hungry people find food at Orchard Road at around 10 pm. Not many places it seems. (or I am yet to find out)

We kinda end up at the Korean food stall that has its own tables reserved at the Food Republic Food Court. Met the most pushy order taker, who wants you to order so much things. Hmm..






The usual kimchi, and some miniscure amount of fried anchovies. It comes with the seaweed soup as well.



Anyway, what we ate. A plate of Kimchi Fried Rice. Yes, the pushy lady somehow 'pushed' you to add meat into it. We were asked do you want chicken or beef? Sounds like it's included right?

But... No... after you finished your order, she informs you, that would be extra $2 for the meat. $6.50 + $2.00



We also ordered the Jajang Noodle. $8.
I have been ordering Jajang noodles at almost every Korean places haha... No comments on this one.



At least there's something that tasted ok. Toufu Kimchi $13.50
We enjoyed the pork slices and kimchi more. It's sure is spicy.

Ming Jia Korean Food @ Bukit Timah Plaza

Colleague wanted to go try the same Korean food after reading what I posted.

2 colleagues order the bibimbap to try. 2 ordered the Korean instant noodles. They said although it is instant noodles, it was done so nicely. I laughed. Instant noodles, cooked by someone else still taste better. Maybe I should cook for them and they pay me instead. LOL

Anyway, this is the 'shared' food. The rice cakes. Mixed reviews. Some liked it, some did not.



Well for me, I wanted to try the Kimchi soup. I think it was $5.50
Another colleague also wanted to try it too. Well, I like it. Like it a lot (because I like kimchi haha). It's very very appetizing, in fact the more you taste it, the more hungry we became. It is kimchi with some tofu, with two pieces of almost invisible piece of pork.



It came with white rice.



We could choose one of the veggies that they have. I took the seaweed.



Dpuk took the bean sprouts.



Will try the other stall the next time we visit Bukit Timah Plaza.
(The Korean show on Channel U, Couple or Trouble ends Monday nite)

Ming Jia Korean Food @ Bukit Timah Plaza

Last nite, sis and I wanted a quick and fast dinner so we can then proceed to do some groceries. We were at Bukit Timah Plaza and wondering what to eat. There's only 13 places to eat in this place, (counted from the mall directory) and most of it is closed for dinner.

We saw a shop lot that has the sign board Ming Jia Korean Food. We walked nearer and saw that there's people eating here. We thought why not? Let's try it.

If you watch Korean dramas, this place looks like those little shops, where in the dramas people come in for a quick and cheap meal. (not restaurant looking, but more street side stall look) We saw that the lady boss is Korean too. We know she's Korean because when she speaks she sounded like how the speak in Korean dramas. (i.e. when you turn on the Dual Sound mode on TV, switch to the Korean mode and listen to the actors and actresses begin to speak English.) We were getting excited. (LOL... like mad Korean drama fans)



Sis ordered the bibimbap. $5.

It does not come in hot stone plates like in other fanciful restaurants. It comes in a steel bowl, just like how they eat at home in Korean dramas. (You know in the dramas they will always mix their rice in steel bowls and always say how delicious it is. LOL)

Looks plain right? But surprisingly it taste good. It comes with a bowl of seaweed soup too. Sis loves the soup that taste like how mum cooks it. The egg is only fried when we ordered the rice too.



I had the "Black Noodles". (That's how it is named on the board) $4.50
Looks so instant noodles right? But it is kinda addictive. The more you eat it, the more you like it. Think its the sauce. ;-)



It comes with a small saucer of Kimchi. It's definitely made there, because when we were there, the Korean lady was mixing the Kimchi in a huge container. I guess it's for either tomorrow's or day after's. The one I had was taken from the fridge. Nice and cold. Yums. This kimchi goes well with the noodles. Makes it more addictive!



Sis said, we shall come back again to try other things on the menu. The meals taste very homely and it is cheap too. Two persons meal for less than $10. Anyone been here and can recommend what is good here so we can try next time?

OK. Just found a newspaper article that has this place mentioned. Upper Bukit Timah Road is a mini Koreatown. There's 4 korean outlets in this area, plus a Korean Supermarket too.

Shillawon Korean Cuisine @ Suntec City

This was lunch a week earlier. Shillawon Korean Cuisine at the 3rd floor of Suntec City at the Sky Garden. It's suppose to be known for its authentic Korean food.



The Soondooboo Set. Spicy Soft Tofu Seafood Stew. $9
If you are someone who likes spicy food, does it make you salivate? haha..



Kimchee Jigae Set. $8
I ate this. There's lots of sliced pork below. It's a Pork Kimchi Stew.
(Kimchee appeared on the receipt, I usually spell it as Kimchi, I guess you can spell it anyway you want)



One thing about Korean food is that it comes with these small side dishes that are absolutely yummy!




Yes, it comes with rice as well. It was a spicy and delicious meal!
With the 10% Svc Chg and 7% GST, it comes up to exactly $20.00

Are you a fan of Korean Food? Or are you also a fan of Korean Dramas?

Ja Jang Myeon @ Manna Korea, Takashimaya Food Village

Today, Sunday night is the last episode of the Korean Drama Series, Couple or Trouble (환상의 커플) also known as Fantasy Couple. Sis was sobbing away tonight as we were watching it. (It is shown on Starhub Cable, Channel 55, 10.30 pm, I am sure you can find the repeats timing on their website)

One thing about this show that made us very very hungry is the Ja Jang Myeon (Za Jiang Mien in Chinese). Every time Luo Shangshi orders and eats it, it makes us want to eat it too, especially the slurping sounds and the greedy looks on her face and the mess too!

When I told my sis, I 'buay tahan' go and eat it a few ago, she 'ooiii!' me, said never bring here to eat. You want to die ah... haha...

OK, this pic does not make it absolutely must eat. I think there are better ones out there too, maybe a visit to Korea!



It comes with some kimchi cabbage & cucumber.



It's a bit steep, but sometimes, when you die die want to eat it, you die die have to pay!




By the way, I think there's another fellow Singapore blogger who is a fan of Korean Sob series like my sis (ok ok like me too)! The Baker Who Cooks solves her craving by making the dish herself! View her recipe here.


Are you:
- having food cravings due to watching korean tv series?
- a korean tv fan too?
haha....
