Yoogane (Westgate) - Chicken Galbi, Army Stew and More

 Yoogane (Westgate)

 
Ever since Yoogane opened its outlet at Westgate, it is packed every day. The queue gets especially crazy on weekends and public holidays where there will be at least 10 people in the queue. That piqued my curiosity. Is it really that good, that people will spend hours queuing? I decided to find out.  
 
Yoogane (Westgate)
 
Established in 1981 in Busan, Yoogane prides itself as one of the most popular and best Chicken Galbi restaurant in Korea.

Judging from the wall of photographs of people who have dined at Yoogane, it is definitely very popular with the younger generation.

Beverages include Korean speciality drinks such as Demi-Soda (Grape/Orange/Lemon/Apple), Hot Tea (Brown Rice Green Tea/Barly Tea/Citron Tea), Alcohol (Hite Beer/Cass Beer/Korean Rice Wine/Chamisul Soju/Yakult Soju/Yuka Soju) and Cold Tea (Iced Citron Tea/Iced Brown Rice Green Tea/Iced Barley Tea). Of course, there are also Soft Drinks such as Pepsi, Pepsi Light, Mug and Seven Up. 
 
Yoogane (Westgate) - Salad Bar
 
It's very common for Korean restaurants to have a small salad bar like this. The banchan (Korean for a side dish) are kimchi, ssam-mu (Korean sliced pickled radish), chopped lettuce and bell pepper salad. 
 
Yoogane (Westgate) - Seafood Army Stew

Yoogane's Army Stew adds in cheesy chicken meatballs, crabsticks and chicken galbi on top of the usual ham, sausage, baked beans and kimchi that goes into making this classic Korean comfort food. Seafood Army Stew [$55.90] is the premium version with the addition of fresh prawns and mussels. Dip the ingredients into the ring of melted cheese and egg wash for an extra kick. The fiery-red broth is not as spicy as it looks and it is manageable even for a non-spicy eater like me.
 
I am not a Korean and I have not been Korea yet so I can't comment on the authenticity of the food served at Yoogane, but the friendly service and inviting atmosphere makes Yoogane a great place to catch up with a friend over a pot of bubbling stew. 
 
Please visit Yoogane's website for address, telephone numbers and the opening hour of all 5 outlets in Singapore.

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...

O'ma Spoon

                        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...
