The Famous Dakgalbi of Yoogane

Yoogane Spring Onion Marinated Chicken Galbi

Korean food is quite famous in Singapore and there are so many Korean restaurants to be tried. Me and my husband had tried three Korean restaurants and so far we liked it. One of them is Yoogane. Yoogane is a popular restaurant from Korea which serve dakgalbi (Dakgalbi is a popular Korean dish generally made by stir-frying marinated diced chicken in a chili pepper paste based sauce, and sliced cabbage, sweet potato, scallions, onions, perilla leaves, and rice cake together on a hot plate - Wikipedia). It was our second time to come here because my husband craved the food so much. I can't resist because I love Korean food.

Yoogane @ Bugis Junction

We went to the outlet at Bugis Junction and arrived there half an hour earlier than the opening hour which is 12pm. Craving made you impatiently to come. But the waiter asked us to enter the restaurant and we were allowed to order our menu. We sat nearby the window sides which activities at the below of the mall could be seen. The environment at the restaurant was quite peaceful (maybe because we came there very early). The servers were friendly so I personally loved and enjoyed that time very much.

My husband ordered two packs of Spring Onion Marinated Chicken Galbi and combination fixings which has ramyeon noodle, sticky noodles, sweet potato rice cakes, Korean traditional Garae rice cake and cheese rice cake. We didn't order drinks because in Yoogane, you will be given free cold water in each table. And it's free flow. 

Cooking Yoogane Chicken Galbi

Before we started to eat, there is a salad bar (Yes, it's free) which served some free flow appetizer, like kimchi, peppers and etc. I love the kimchi, not too spicy yet sour. And something I don't know what that is. The taste is soury and fresh.

It didn't take a long time until the server took out the dishes. It was served in a big pan with some marinated chicken and some rice cakes. The server helped us to cook it. We just watched and took some pictures and video. 

The taste of this dish was really good. For me who loves spicy food, the taste of the spicyness is balanced. So it's not irritating. I didn't know whether both of us were so hungry or the food was delicious, we finished the food in like 25 minutes. 

To be honest, eating Korean food is quite complicated because of the method and preparation during cooking. Eating in Yoogane is the exception. There is a server who will help you to cook and we just eat the dish. Overall, this place is recommended for meeting up with friends or just experience another type of Korean food.
