Without any
travel posts to fill up this blog for the next one month or so, i have to rely
on the original basis that resulted in the creation of this account; food, and
this time, i shall bring you to a self-claimed new age Korean restaurant to
check out their offerings!
Guksu Restaurant
@ Suntec City Mall - the above photo was taken at 9.20 pm, when we left; i would
always try to show you guys and gals how the "insides" look like. Was the place
packed at dinnertime? It sure was and there's even a queue
outside.
Please use the
tablet to order your meal. As with most technology, the algorithms may not be as
complex as the human's mind and things might not work perfectly. I experienced
it that day when i couldn't send my order for the chicken wing + watermelon soju
set!
Let's check out
the bar counter! Do note that you are only given free flow sauces and side
dishes. Drinks are chargeable and they depend on what you request
for.
Those craving for
soft drinks can opt for coca cola, coke zero, fanta grape and sprite. Sorry,
juscool and Yeo's ice lemon tea were either sold out or
unavailable.
Traditionalists
would be pleased to have the corn tea; cold or hot. The incredibly warm weather
for the past few weeks warranted a cold corn tea! Frankly, i had totally
forgotten that we still had watermelon soju although i thought it wouldn't be
sufficient to quench our thirst.
Sauces, seeds,
nuts and other condiments. For a moment, it almost felt like i was in a Chinese
hotpot restaurant but the kimchi brought me to back to
reality.
Guess you don't
need further explanation for the above.
Drinks, checked.
Cutlery; checked. Portable stove for the army stew; checked. Where's our food?!
My personal pet peeve about dinner is that i prefer to have it before 7 pm and
the later i have my food, the more impatient i get. Not the fault of the
restaurant, obviously.
Kimchi - i
don't know kimchi well enough to know the different types but i do know that i
would love to get a bottle of this kimchi so that i can mix them to my instant
noodles for that tangy sweet yet sour bite.
Budae
Jjigae - known popularly as army stew, i
don't count this as a traditional stew since it's a rather 'recent' creation
after the Korean war and came with beef broth (oops, didn't know it's beef),
luncheon meat, ham, sausages, kimchi, beancurd, instant noodles, rice cake and
vegetables.
To put it
bluntly, a pack of self-cooked Myojo seafood instant noodles taste better.
Granted there were sufficient ingredients to pamper us, the broth wasn't rich
and flavourful enough to wow us. Maybe it needs more instant noodles
seasoning?
Soy Chicken Wings with
Watermelon Soju Set - i think i am enjoying my alcohol
nowadays as the usual me wouldn't even have a sip of alcoholic drink! Whatever
the case, it's a nice display of chicken wings ahead of us.
For the chicken
wing platter, you can choose from classic, soy, spicy and wasabi and from the
picture, i am guessing there were about ten chicken wings, divided into ten
parts of drumettes and ten parts of wingettes.
Don't want to
dirty your hands?! Grab the gloves! This supposedly kind gesture deprives diners
from the "finger-licking good" experience but without a washing area within the
restaurant; even i decided to don the gloves.
Verdict on the
chicken wings - i like the fact that it's dripping of aromatic sweetness and the
skin, dotted with sesame seeds, retained that delicious crunchiness! If not for
the fact that i am sharing with three persons, i could easily clean up the
entire plate! Kon felt that it's too wet though.
On the watermelon
soju -it was rather light and not as sweet as i thought it would be. The problem
was that the more i had, the better i enjoyed the alcoholic
beverage.
It would not be
so bad with just that one watermelon. However, there was an extra jug containing
even more of the fruit soju!
And with it right
in front of me, i couldn't help but keep going. I kid you not; i am like the
taker of almost half of the watermelon soju! Even though i didn't get drunk, i
was high (and red) and i literally collapsed onto my bed after washing up.
Strangely, it felt good.
