Togi Korean Restaurant

This entry is totally long overdue. Thanks to my tablet pc which just refused to be turned on and my laptop which screen has just spoilt (yea, i know! how sucky that is! no contact to the outside world at home after work).. but today, is a good day for sure, as I managed to get them both fixed.. =)

Okay, let's talk about my all-time favourite Korean restaurant in Spore, and that is, Togi Korean Restaurant. First of all, don't expect to get fantastic and fancy Korean food from there. Instead you'll be served with very authentic home-made Korean food (wholly owned and managed by Koreans and indeed many Koreans dine there after work or in the weekend). Also, nothing grand about it in terms of its ambience, instead be prepared to have your clothes a little bit smelly afterwards since there'll be a lot of grilling and frying going on inside the restaurant.. but yea, it's a fun place to hang out with your good friends after work. ;)


They serve great side dishes. Look at the mashed potatoes and fried tofu skin, i can assure you, they tasted really good.

The first time I ate Kimchi pancake was in Odense, cooked by my Korean chef friend. She cooked us a big size version, this is a small version, but thicker and tasted equally good.

They truly serve d-best Seafood Soon Doo Bu Jigae I could find in Singapore =). I'm very sure I can walk in one day just to order a bowl of rice to eat with this soup.


Jap Jae, Korean fried vermicelli. It's not bad, I've tasted better one though.

Very typical dish from Korea, raw pork (or beef sometimes) grilled with potatoes, onion and garlic.


Cut them small and ready to eat

Full house in the weekend. So be patient while queuing...

Try their food at 11 Mosque Street! Ciao...

Quick Dinner -- Korean Ramyeon

Brother, sis and I just started calling ourselves "The Three Musketeers" this weekend because we spent almost the whole of it together, and of course gathering always involved food and everything fun about it. We're at Cheng's apartment and there's this random show on TV we're watching very mouth-wateringly (i know there's no such word) at, about Korean Ramyeon which was cooked in so many different ways. Just imagine, tthe noodle was used to make Pizza, Spring Rolls even a plate! Who thought of that? Very creative indeed!

Let's zoom in and talk about instant Korean Ramyeon which for sure, is one of the Korean daily favorites. I still recall how happy my Korean friend was when her mom sent her a box of instant Korean Ramyeon to Denmark and 5 of us celebrated it by cooking 6 packs of Ramyeon in one big saucepan, broke 6 eggs in and added some veggies. Really, it was fun. And that's not done yet, don't forget to eat the leftover soup with plain rice, that's how the Koreans do it.

So, our brilliant idea yesterday was to have a very simple Korean Ramyeon dinner.....

What we bought:
  • Korean Ramyeon
  • Prawns
  • Squids
  • Japanese Xiao Bai Cai
  • Eggs
  • Pepper
  • A lot of Chilli Padi (and napkins of course)
How to cook:

Do I even have to tell you? =P

Turned out, this brand tasted really good ;)

Spicy Soup Ramyeon with seafood and some veggies added

It's delicious, hot and quick!

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh

It was a rainy day and we all thought eating something soupy would be great!

I recommended Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, the one opposite Central Mall @ Clarke Quay since I've been pretty intrigued to try since long time ago. How can I not?
I heard many good reviews about their Bak Kut Teh from some friends and whenever I happened to be around the area, what I always saw was an eating house full of customers, both day and night.

Pork Ribs Bak Kut Teh
Honestly, this peppery type tasted pretty good, almost identical to the Bak Kut Teh at old Havelock Road. We ordered 1 big bowl and 2 small ones.

Pigs Trotter
My siblings and I kind of grew up eating this so we kind of missed it. I must say, it's well-cooked and the meat was soft and juicy.

Mixed Kidney and liver. I like it boiled completely well.

Salted Vegetables
This is my favorite and I think it suits to be served with Bak Kut Teh
the most .

Kailan stirred with Oyster Sauce

You Tiao, good to dip it to the soup before eating it, as always.

SONG FA BAK KUT TEH
11 New Bridge Road #01-01


Yet, my favorite so far is still Ah Sio Pork Ribs Eating House.
