The UTW (“Under Ten Words”): Korean (and not Japanese) grilled eel concept. The must-orders (if any): Grilled Eel Set with….well, any sauce really. Summary: From the people behind Kko Kko Nara (and launching right next door) comes Unagi Nara, a Korean grilled eel concept which would inevitably invite comparisons with the…
Ugly Spicy Herb Chicken from What’s This Korean Restaurant. Essentially your commercially competent spicy chicken from Jollibee, KFC or similar, coated in a nutty, chee cheong fun-esque sweet sauce. 3.6/5 What’s This Korean Restaurant 87 Killiney Road Singapore 239533
Spicy Roast Chicken Stew (2 pax, $48) from What’s This, a new Korean concept along Killiney Road. The stew was sweet and audaciously, scalp-itchingly incendiary, whilst elsewhere the minus-sized chicken parts likely grew up idolising Olsen twin-esque stick figure and petite role models. 3.7/5 What’s This Korean Restaurant 87 Killiney…
Sauced Padi Garlic Chicken from Oven & Fried Chicken. Essentially sweet Korean fried chicken caught in flagrante with Two Chef Eating Place’s famous drunken cockles. Garlic dominates the conversation, whilst elsewhere those equipped with Mario-esque levels of evasion can actually cleanly avoid the vicious scarlet traps without any consequence. 4.2/5…
Apgujeong Bingsoo from Patbingsoo, the Korean shaved ice dessert concept within Seorae – cheese, cheese sauce, cheesecake, cheese wafer, vanilla ice cream.

Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) from Copper on Stanley. Glazed and honey-sweet with a touch of that ubiquitous Korean spice, this was essentially Korean fried chicken as conceptualised and prepared by a Bedok 85 Fengshan Market BBQ chicken wing stall uncle. 3.8/5 Copper on Stanley 3 Stanley Street Singapore 068722
Anchovy rice balls from Masizzim Singapore. Essentially a feisty chilli padi-ikan bilis rice experience, with the mucky fun of sculpting and playing with balls – you get served a big bowlful of rice with gloves to do as you please – absolutely on the house. 3.8/5 This was a hosted…
Swicy Hot Chick from Black Nut – sweet and spicy gochujang chilli wings. Essentially chicken wings coated in a sticky, carrot cake chilli-esque sauce that will cheekily (chickily?) find its way all over your mouth. 3.6/5 Black Nut 2 Emerald Hill Singapore 229287
Creamy Cookies Pleasure Bingsu from Icebox Cafe. Imagine gravel consists of Oreo cookie crumbs and roughly crushed ice – this bingsu is a slip road off Sime Road. 3.6/5 Icebox Cafe Singapore 89 Rangoon Road Singapore 218375
