These guys (113 Telok Ayer Street, tel : +65 8088 3850) are a chicken specialty shop from Korea. According to them, they're really popular. And they're sister to the current samgyetang belle of the ball Modu, so we came here for samgyetang.
But first some sikhye. Flavour's sweet, malty and oat-y.
Middle's salt and pepper, not brown sugar. The cabbage on the right is baek kimchi with yuja/yuzu. Nice. The other green preserved vegetable thingy on the left...not so memorable.
We were here for samgyetang but I was also curious about their grilled chicken parts because that's what they were known for. We decided we'd try one part and went for the heart.
Those little hearts were grilled table side.
Mouthing silent squeals with mouths they don't have while they sizzled to our delights.
Came with some dips and salt. Though I like salt best because that's the condiment where the flavour of the heart and the char aroma came through, the others dips were not bad.
Truffle was shaven on serving for the truffle samgyetang.
The broth from it tasted like a tangy mushroom soup...not exactly what I imagined. No discernible ginseng flavour. It wasn't bad though. Chicken was slurp off the bone tender.
In retrospect, I liked the oat-y earthy flavour of the perilla samgyetang better. The collagen broth that they use for refills has that ginseng taste I was thinking of. Both banchan and soup are refillable.
