Gaia Korean Restaurant, Suntec City


This place (3 Temasek Boulevard, #03-10/12 Suntec City Mall, tel : +65 6339 3313) wasn't too bad. There were actually some real Koreans amongst their service staff and among their customers as well. Perhaps a healthy sign. Their Gaia kotsal featured nicely marbled short rib and we had intentionally selected them for their lack of marinade.

The kimchee jigae initially appeared to be disappointing as it totally lacked the sour punch I was looking for to go with the spiciness. It even tasted slightly thin until at some point when it had cooled down that the broth got a little more viscous and the flavours suddenly became pretty intense. Definitely something I could come back for. Not so impressive was the dogani tang which was described as ox bone soup which contained beef tendons instead. The milky hued broth was actually pretty bland (and not very beefy) without the additional salt and pepper. I should just stick to spicy Korean food.
