Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Pricey Authentic Korean Restaurant

 Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Restaurant Front

Hidden in the labyrinth of shops on the third floor of Square 2 @ Velocity, Hansang Korean Family Restaurant is not the easiest to find.

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Kitchen

The name says “family restaurant” so I was expecting a cosy family-style restaurant but it turned out to be a grand modern restaurant in dark brown wooden colors.

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Menu

The 12-page menu showcases over 80 Korean dishes and snacks, many of which are not commonly found in Singapore. 

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Modum Jon

Most Singaporeans are probably only familiar with Korean kimchi pancake and seafood pancake. If fact, there are more than 10 types of Korean pancakes with different ingredients. 

Modum Jon [Small S$18.80, Large S$35.8] lets you taste 4 different types of pancakes in one sitting. I got 2 pieces of mushrooms, prawns (saewoo jon), mushroom filled with minced chicken (busut jon), fish fillet (saengson jon) and zucchini pancakes. 

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Dubu Jon

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant makes their own tofu in-house everyday. Besides having tofu in the form of sundubu, you can also have it in pancake form, Dobu Jon (Tofu Pancake [Small S$11.80, Large S$21.80]. 

The tofu is pan-fried and topped with pickled spinach and pickled mushrooms. Have it with the accompanying homemade sweet and sour sauce, it is light and refreshing. 

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Cholpan Kimchi Fried Rice with Cheese

I saw a video of Cholpan Kimchi Fried Rice with Cheese [S$13.80] on Hansang Korean Family Restaurant’s Facebook page and it looked so good. 

I was so happy when I saw it on the Lunch Promotion menu, but I was sorely disappointed by the quality. It was supposed to be a hot plate, but the plate is not hot at all. The small pool of cheese was hard and hidden under the salad, I only saw it when I had almost finished the meal. 

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Non-Spicy Seafood Sundubu

Another way of enjoying Hansang’s homemade tofu is in the form of a tofu stew, known as sundubu in Korean. This is the Non Spicy Seafood Sundubu [S$17.80] but you can also order Spicy Seafood Sundubu, Spicy Pork Sundubu and Kimchi, Pork & Cheese Sundubu.

There are handmade tofu, prawns, mussels, clams and squid in the clear seafood broth. I just wished the soup could be served hot, it would have tasted so much nicer. 

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Army Stew

Most Singaporeans know Boodae Jongol [S$42.80 for 2 persons, S$52.80] as Army Stew. The Lunch Promotion menu has Army Stew for 1 [S$17.80] which is perfect for solo diners like me. 

The bubbling hotpot comes loaded with sausages, kimchi, beans, mushrooms, ramyeon and fishcake skewer. It looks very red in color but it is only mildly spicy. 

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Tangsuyuk Pork

This is definitely the biggest (and most expensive plate of Tangsuyuk Pork [S$28.80] I have ever had. I am guessing it is meant to be shared between 3-4 people but it is just so good that I ended up finishing the whole plate by myself. 

I can tell that it is freshly-cooked upon order from the hotness and crispiness of the fried pork pieces. The sweet and sour sauce has the perfect balance. You won’t want to stop after taking the first bite.

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Jajangmyun

The Jajangmyun [S$15.80] wasn’t as good as I expected. The noodles was a little too soft for my liking and the black bean sauce was a little bland.

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant - Lunch Promotion

If you happen to be around Square 2 @ Novena between 11.30am - 3pm, there is a Lunch Promotion menu which offers various Korean dishes at reduced prices. 

Even through Hansang Korean Family Restaurant is a little pricey, there is a wide variety of authentic-sounding Korean dishes. Among the dishes I have tried, I recommend Modum Jon and Tangsuyuk Pork.

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...
