My friend has kindly invited me to join her for lunch at Kim's Family Korean Restaurant. I've read a few food reviews and remembered that the restaurant was also featured in a food programme recently. It's a family-run restaurant. The Korean chef came to Singapore to work 7 years ago and decided to set up his own restaurant. Now, the wife, son and daughter are also helping out in the restaurant. The decor is very simple and homely.
12 Side DishesFor starter, they will serve Korean tea and complimentary side dishes. We were shocked to see 12 side dishes placed on our small table. I like the braised potato, anchovies and Chinese leeks. We were quite full after eating all the appetizers! In fact, we requested for another side dish - kimchi! How could a Korean restaurant not serve their national dish? In Korea, kimchi is served during breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Kimchi Their kimchi is not spicy but a little sour. Do you know that kimchi has a lot of health benefits? Kimchi eliminates cholesterol, promotes intestional health and improve digestion. To make kimchi, you need to add vinegar, oil, salt, chilli pepper, onions, garlic, Chinese cabbage and spring onions.
Beef Bulgolgi on Hotplate The lunch beef set is value for money. At S$8, the portion is sufficient, the beef is tender and tasty. It's not oily and served with rice.
BibimbapBibimbap is another popular Korean dish. The rice is cooked in a stone pot then mixed with vegetables, meat and an egg. I felt that the seasoning is a bit too light.
Kimchi hot and spicy seafood soup
The soup is very spicy and tasty with lots of seafood (prawn, fish, sotong and clams) and vegetables. It's also served with rice. Simply delicious!
At the end of the meal, we were served complimentary fruits (watermelon) and plum tea. The plum tea is so refreshing and nice.
Overall, it's a nice place to enjoy affordable authentic Korean food. I would definitely go back to try other Korean dishes like Korean BBQ.
