GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet

 When I first saw the name of the restaurant, I thought there's some deep hidden meaning behind the name "GoroGoro". The company website explains "the name actually are suggestions of a rumbling tummy when you are hungry, and the hot bubbling sound of the steamboat soups when they are boiling". So much for deep meanings. 

GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet is one of the 5 restaurants managed by Kingdom Food Group, a Korean food group.

The outlet at The Centrepoint is brightly-lit with ample seating. The walls are decorated blue with the cartoonish GoroGoro and friends. 

GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet - Price

The main draw of GoroGoro Steamboat and Korean Buffet is its wallet-friendly prices. At S$16.90 - 26.90++ for lunch buffet and S$26.90 - 28.90++ for dinner buffet, it is one of the cheaper buffet in Singapore. There are discounts for students and senior citizens too, making it even more affordable.

GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet - Meaty Meat Madness

GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet - Seafood Fiesta

The vegetables, seafood and meat for the steamboat are separately placed in different stations. The ingredients are fresh, but I am disappointed with the lack of variety of seafood. There are only prawns, dory, mussels and squid.

GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet - Korean Snacks

There are around 20 cooked dishes that you can help yourself to as your steamboat cooks.
Although it’s supposed to be a Korean buffet, it is really more like a Singapore buffet where there is a little of everything. How else should I explain what is Mala Xiang Guo doing in a Korean buffet? 

GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet - Desserts & Condiments

The desserts section is just as disappointing. There is only cut watermelon and honey dew and two dessert soups. 

I am sorry to say this but this is probably the first and last time I am going to GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet. This reminds me of Seoul Garden with its dismal selection of inferior ingredients, its only draw is the cheap pricing.

GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet is suitable for those who just want a variety of food for a cheap price but not for those who look for quality over quantity.

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...
