Guksu Restaurant: Jjajang Meon and Cheese Bak Dul Platter

Time flies, it has been more than 2 years since I last visited Guksu Noodle House in December 2014. 

 
Guksu Restaurant has recently revamped its menu and many new items have been added. My colleagues have been telling me that Guksu Noodle House now serves jajangmyeon and it is super good. My colleagues and I are going to have lunch at Guksu Noodle House to try their jajangmyeonand Cheese Buk Dal which I saw on Suntec City's "Flavors to Savor" food guide.

This is the Jjajang Meon (which is more commonly spelt as "jajangmyeon") that my colleagues have been raving about. It is a popular Korean dish that has been featured in many Korean dramas and Running Man and everyone eats it as if it is the most amazing food in the world. It is essentially the Korean version of the classic Chinese noodle dish Zha Jiang Mian. In the Korean version, the thick black bean sauce is made with chunjang (black bean sauce), diced pork and vegetables. Guksu Noodle House's handmade noodles are thicker than the traditional Chinese noodles and the chewy texture of the noodles goes well with the black bean sauce.

This is the Cheese Bul Dak Platter that I read about in Suntec City's "Flavors to Savor" food guide. "Buk Dal'' means "fire chicken" in Korean and this heavily spiced chicken is deboned and served with creamy mozzarella cheese, sweet corn scrambled eggs and rice cakes on a heated hot plate. The creamy mozzarella cheese goes well with the sweet and spicy chicken. This is really quite spicy, definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Guksu Noodle House offers many different Lunch Sets, from Mini Jeongol, Mini Hotpot and Hanguk Mini Platter to Noodle & Chicken Lunch Set, Noodle & Mandu Lunch Set and Korean Chicken Baskets (Lunch Set).

Mini Duk Bok Um Tang is one of the items on offer during lunch period. Featuring chicken broth with Korean spicy sauce, chicken meat and vegetables, this mini version of the Duk Bok Um Tang is the mini jeongol for the chicken-lovers. There is also Mini Gamja Tang for those who prefer pork, Mini Haemul Jjim Dak for the vegetarians and health-conscious and Mini Budae Jjigae for those who want a taste of the traditional Korean beef stew.

Mandu is the Korean version of the Chinese dumplings.  Kimchi Mandu is stuffed with a generousamount of pork and kimchi in place of vegetable. 
 
Guksu Restaurant
 
There is a small retail section that sells popular Korean snacks such as Honey Butter Almonds, Green Tea Milk Spread and Korean Noguri Ramen. 
 
Guksu Noodle House's new menu features many new items such as Haemul Jjim Dak and Yeon Pyo Tang which are what I am going to have on my next visit. 
 
Although Guksu Noodle House and Kimchi Restaurant are allegedly opened by the same person, the quality and variety of food at Guksu Noodle House are definitely much better than Kimchi Korean Restaurant.

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.   Address and telephone n...

                        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...
