When i first head that Yoogane anchored itself on the shores of Singapore, I was super excited!!! What got my adrenaline rushed was that Yoogane was one of the BEST restaurants i visited in Korea a few months back.
I searched high and low in the cold (it was Winter when i was in Seoul) in Myeong Dong for Yoogane because i heard about how deeeelicious their food was. Now, it's right here in Singapore, don't have to travel all the way to Korea for Yoogane anymore. Yippy!
Here's a brief introduction to Yoogane:
Established in 1981, we pride ourselves as one of the most popular and best Chicken Galbi Restaurants in Korea - all this is made possible through the continuous support and love from our customers.
Yoogane is extremely well received in Busan , Korea - where it all started. Despite fierce competition from other restaurants specializing in chicken galbi, we were able to achieve tremendous success. The unique blend of sauces and seasoning that we have developed using top and fresh ingredients is what sets us apart from others.
Restaurant was very full and a queue was snaking outside, be prepared to wait, otherwise, it's advised to come earlier.
- This sauce tastes like sweet strawberries and goes very well with their very crunchy veggies.
Popular fruit sodas from Korea. Fizzy and refreshing, not too sweet, just what i like. It reminds me a little bit of Fanta.
Korean Rice Wine aka Makgeolli. It contains alcohol but it's very easy to drink, this one is plum flavoured and tastes slightly sweet and milky with some flavours of rice grain. Makgeolli has some health benefits as it contains lactobacillus bacteria and dietary fiber which helps aid digestion and improve immune function.
Yoogane also provides unique services like the charging of your mobile phones!
Our set of Seafood and Chicken Galbi arrived! We added sticky noodles and Ramyeon noodles to the set.
The marinated food and vegetables are thrown into the pan and stir fried together at our table. The staff will be helping out with this.
The pan is HUGE!!! This can serve up to 3-4 people. Very good for sharing.
The marinated squids were added later on so as to prevent them from being overcooked if added too early.
The noodles were the last to be added and finally, food is ready to go into our stomachs!!!
Yoogane's unique and super flavourful marinated tender chicken thigh meat, prawns, baby squids, mussels, veggies, rice cakes and noodles altogether in this pan. Very tasty indeed! I went back to Seoul again while eating this...
I personally liked the Ram yeon noodles very much as they were very springy in texture and absorbed the flavours of the sauce very well.
Next was the Chicken Galbi Cheese fried Rice. This was the exact dish i had in Seoul and it tastes EXACTLY the same. Melted mozerella cheese sort of neutralizes the spiciness in this dish and together, this made a wonderful, exotic combination.
Seafood Pancake came next. Unlike pancakes from many other Korean restaurants i've tried, this was executed pretty well. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the pancake contains a generous amount of prawns and veggies. Must dip with their sauce to bring its taste to a further height.
Hope Yoogane can open more branches all over Singapore so that we can enjoy our favourite Korean food anywhere :)
