Menbolah - Korean Chinese Snack Menbosha in Singapore

Ever since I saw Korean-Taiwanese celebrity chef Lee Yeon Bok make menbosha on Youtube, I have been wanting to try this popular Korean-Chinese snack. Since I can't fly to Korea due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the next best thing is to try to find it in Singapore. Thankfully, a shop named Menbolah has sprung up that specialises in Korean shrimp toast.

Menbolah - Shop Front

Menbolah is located in CT Hub 2, a drive-through food street in between Bendemeer and Lavender MRT stations. Menbolah is one of the stalls located at the end.

Menbolah offers menbosha, menbo toasts and drinks. You can also order set meals that consist of menbo, a drink and a side.

Menbolah - The Food

Menbolah - Trio Box

Trio Box [Ala Carte S$12.90, Set S$15.50] is the most popular because you get to sample three types of menbosha in one sitting. You get 3 pieces of Original Menbosha, Garlic Butter Menbosha and Mentaiko Menbosha each.

It's advisable to start with Original Menbosha followed by Garlic Butter Menbosha and finally Mentaiko Menbosha. This way you will know how the original menbosha tastes like and work your way up the tastes.

My favourite is Mentaiko Menbosha as the creamy spicy mentaiko sauce really brings out the unami taste of the prawns inside.

Menbolah - Original Prawn

Maybe it's because I ate Original Prawn Garlic Toast [Ala Carte S$9.60, Set S$12.20] after the menbosha bites but the toast is a total anticlimax. The prawn patties sandwiched between toasted white bread are moist but a little bland. And what's with the egg mayonnaise? It's such a weird combination.

Conclusion

I definitely want to visit celebrity celebrity chef Lee Yeon Bok's restaurant Mokran to taste the original menbosha, but until then, Menbolah will have to suffice.

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...
