Kim's Family Food Korean Restaurant (Bukit Timah)

After watching episode 513 of the Korean variety show Running Man where they were playing a game where the two teams have to buy the ingredients to make the Korean stew nakji jeongol (Korean octopus stew), I developed a sudden craving for this aromatic Korean stew, so I did a search and found out that nakiji jeonggal stew is not very popular in Singapore and it seems that the only restaurant that serves this stew is Kim's Family Restaurant.

I have been to the outlet at West Coast but this is my first time at the Bukit Timah outlet.

Every main course is accompanied by 12 Korean side dishes which are known as banchan. The banchan are refillable and the portions are generous.

Yes, here comes the Nakji Jeongol that I came for. This Korean spicy octopus casserole is usually meant for 2-3 people, but I managed to finish the pot all by myself. Fresh baby octopus is cooked together with mushrooms, tofu, green spring onions, black fungus and Korean rice cakes. The soup is not overly spicy, even non-spicy eater like me can tolerate and it is totally slurp-worthy. (I meant to take a video of the stew but I pressed the wrong button in mistake and ended up taking a time-lapse video instead.)

Kim's Family Food Korean Restaurant is a hidden gem that serves great home-style Korean dishes. Besides serving every Korean hotpot and noodle dish you can think of, the restaurant also offers Korean BBQ with a selection of 14 types of meat. You can find their menu here. Service is excellent, the Korean waiter and waitresses are quick to respond and help to cook your meal.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food. PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder. Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue. Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.

Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms. Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream. I was told that Mango Cheesecake Bingsu is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City. I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting. I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang. I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart. Gr...
