This Korean eatery which takes no reservations, is located at a locale not exactly known for Korean food (#01-02 ARC 380, 380 Jalan Besar, tel : +65 6980 3474) and has a facade that was pretty run of the mill managed to reel us in with their black sesame samgyetang. Banchan's simple and not bad. Love them all with rice.
This was the said black sesame samgyetang. It's exactly like how most people would imagine - samgyetang flavoured by some sort of sesame paste.
After a bit of stirring, the broth darkened from the distributed black sesame paste. A broth that was deliciously flavoured by the aromatic nuttiness of black sesame, a delicate ginseng flavour lightly sweetened by red dates. Or jujubes if you would.
The chicken which enveloped some tender glutinous rice was on the border of falling off the bone so it was pretty easy to slurp them off those bones. I'd come back just for this rendition of samgyetang. It was at least a couple of levels up from the one we had at Bigmama.
If anyone wanted to take a look at the black sesame stained bones/remnants of the chicken.
We had some pork dumplings on the side. This were filled with juices from the stuffings of pork. Delicious. I liked them better with the sesame oil/salt than the regular dip they came with.
Pretty satisfying food from Songane. Will come back.
