Guiga Korean BBQ Restaurant - Korean Marinated Crab and Korean BBQ

I have been binge-watching this Korean YouTuber Tzuyang, it’s amazing how much this petite girl can eat in one seating! There was one video where she ate gejang which is Korean marinated crab. I have had my fair share of Korean food but I have never had gejang in Singapore. A search online revealed that only two restaurants in Singapore serves this exotic Korean delicacy. One is Guiga Korean BBQ Restaurant and the other is The GoGiJip Korean BBQ.

The way Tzuyang eats the gejang makes it look so delicious so I decided to try it out for myself.

Besides gejang, there are other things I want to try at The GoGiJip Korean BBQ, so I decided to visit Guiga Korean BBQ Restaurant alone.

The interior of Guiga Korean BBQ Restaurant gives off a warm homey feeling with brown-color tables, chairs and separators. The orange fluorescent lights and bricks walls accentuates the homey atmosphere. It feels like I have just stepped into a rustic Korean countryside house.

I came here especially for the gejang, Korean soy-sauce marinated crabs. 

Guiga Korean BBQ Restaurant - GanJanGeJang

This is the first time I am trying Korean marinated crabs, I’m not sure how well I will like the taste. I was worried that the  a la carte Gan-Jan-Ge-Jang [S$45] might be too big a portion for me, so I got the Gan-Jan-Ge-Jang lunch set [S$25] instead. The lunch set comes with free-flow banchan, a soup and a small plate of the marinated crabs. 

The marination process has broken down the tissue fibers so the crab meat becomes gel-like. Just take half of the crab, press the body and squeeze out the meat.

I actually quite like the taste of gejang. It’s slightly salty from marinated in soy sauce with a slight fishy taste. This is an acquired taste, not everyone is going to like it. The slight fishy taste doesn’t really bother me. Mixing it with rice and a little of the marination sauce make it taste even better. 

Do remember to dig out the golden roe from the body and top of the shell. This is the best part of the crab! Eat it with rice and marination sauce, you will love it!

There is also the spicy Yang-Nyeom-Ge-Jang [S$45] but I heard it’s really spicy, I didn’t even dare to try it. 

Guiga Korean BBQ Restaurant - Wagyu Prime Beef Ribs Cooked

Guiga Korean BBQ Restaurant is a barbecue restaurant after all, it feels wrong not to order some meats. I looked though the menu, there was nothing special except this Wagyu Prime Beef Ribs[S$45].

It’s a little pricey but it’s worth every cent. The staff cooked it to perfection and left them at the end of the grill to keep warm. Even though it is throughly cooked, the meat is still so tender and juicy. It doesn’t get any better than this. 

Conclusion 

Come down to Guiga Korean BBQ Restaurant for gan-jan ge-jang (Korean marinated crab) or yang-nyeom ge-jang (spicy Korean marinated crab). For Korean barbecue, Wagyu Prime Beef Ribs is the best.

If you stay in the west of Singapore, O.BBa Jjajang & BBQ opposite Beauty World Centre is another superb 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...

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...
