#2: Cheesy Volcano Fried Rice
The Koreans take cheese quite seriously. There’s pork ribs wrapped in cheese, cheese pancakes, Korean BBQ with cheese, and even cheese topped on braised chicken (google ‘Jjimdak’, if you don’t believe us!). Stretchy, fragrant and oh-so-yummy, it’s no wonder cheese is added liberally to any dish.
At Huluruk Myeon House, the well-loved Korean fried rice is given an “oomph” with extra stretchy cheese! Super Instagrammable and also flavourful! Best part? The 10% off waives away part of the GST charged so you save more.

From pretty parfaits to macarons and artisanal coffee, Café de Paris has everything you need to up the aesthetics game on your Instagram wall.

#4: Korean Stews
Korea is also well known for its stews. The origin of army stew can be traced back to post-Korean war, when the Koreans first experimented with using American ingredients to cook a stew. Filled with sausages, luncheon meat, pork, beef, vegetables, toufu and Ramyeon, this is basically an all-in-one enjoyment in a pot!
Other hot piping stews include the Haemul Jjigae (seafood stew), Twi Gim Jjigae (Tempura stew), Tteokbokki Jjigae and more.
