Myung Ga (명가) II Korean BBQ @ Bukit Timah Plaza - A Go-To Spot for Korean Comfort Food

Myung Ga (명가) II at Bukit Timah Plaza is a beloved Korean eatery known for its generous portions, comforting home-style dishes, and authentic flavours that bring a taste of Korea closer to home. While the restaurant's name includes "Korean BBQ," many regulars return for its extensive range of traditional Korean dishes — from hearty stews and noodles to well-executed grilled items and classic comfort food.

Banchan 4/5

Before our mains arrived, we were served a selection of complimentary banchan, which is refillable. These side dishes help set the tone for the meal and complement the mains' bold flavours nicely.

Jaeyuk Dupbap - Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Belly 4.5/5

The Jaeyuk Dupbap ($20) features tender pork belly slices stir-fried in a robust gochujang-based sauce. The flavours are well-balanced — sweet, spicy, and deeply savoury without being overly cloying. Portions are generous, and the dish is served with a bowl of rice, making it perfect for pairing with the intensely flavoured pork belly.

Haemul Sundubu - Seafood Soft Tofu Stew 4.5/5

Served piping hot, the Haemul Sundubu ($18) is comforting and hearty. The soft tofu is incredibly silky, almost melting in the mouth, while the stew is packed with rich seafood flavours that enhance the spicy base broth. A satisfying choice, especially for those who enjoy bold and warming Korean stews.

Altang - Spicy Fish Roe Stew 4.2/5

For the more adventurous diner, the Altang ($25) is a standout. This spicy fish roe stew is loaded with fish roe and milt, ingredients not commonly found on menus in Singapore. As a fan of fish roe and milt, this was a pleasant surprise and a dish that showcases the restaurant's commitment to authentic Korean flavours.

Haemul Buchu Jeon - Seafood Pancake 4/5

Another delightful dish is the Haemul Buchu Jeon ($22). The seafood pancake is crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside. Each bite is savoury and satisfying, especially when dipped into the accompanying sauce, which beautifully brings the flavours together.

Overall, Myung Ga (명가) II delivers comforting Korean fare with generous portions and authentic flavours, making it a reliable spot for both casual meals and hearty Korean cravings.

Pang Pang (胖哥俩肉蟹煲) @ Guoco Midtown II - 50% OFF Second Pot Promtion From 2 to 31 January 2026

Pang Pang (胖哥俩肉蟹煲) at Guoco Midtown II is a name that resonates strongly with fans of robust, flavour-packed Chinese casseroles. Originating from Haiyan, Zhejiang, in 2008, the brand has grown into a nationwide phenomenon in China, famed for its intensely savoury one-pot meat and seafood casseroles. With over 50 million pots sold annually and queues forming daily, Pang Pang’s reputation clearly precedes itself. Diners can choose from seven different casseroles, each spotlighting a hero protein wok-fried in an intensely aromatic blend of spices, chilli oil and secret sauces. From 2 to 31 January 2026, there is also a 50% OFF second pot promotion (T&Cs apply), making it an even more compelling reason to visit.

A definite must-order here is the Signature Crab Pot ($78), which features two sizeable crabs stir-fried generously in spices and chilli oil. While diners can select their preferred spice level, the heat is relatively mild and very manageable, allowing the savoury depth of the sauce to shine. What truly makes this dish memorable is the addictive sauce. It is rich, aromatic and dangerously good with rice. Extra ingredients such as chicken feet, noodles, pork ribs, prawns, and rice cakes can be added to further customise the pot.

⁠Signature Crab Pot 5/5

Interestingly, while the crabs are the headline, my personal highlights were the potatoes and chicken feet. The potatoes are cooked to an incredibly soft texture, thoroughly soaking up the luscious sauce. The chicken feet, on the other hand, are superbly braised until tender, gelatinous and thoroughly infused with flavour. It is so addictive that they easily stole the limelight from the crabs themselves.

Beyond the crab pot, Pang Pang also offers other casseroles, including Pork Ribs Pot, Chicken Wing Pot, Chicken Feet Pot, Frog Pot and Prawn Pot, giving diners plenty of options to explore, especially with the second pot promotion running during January.

Smashed Cucumber 4.5/5

To balance the richness of the casseroles, the Smashed Cucumber ($3.80) is a refreshing and well-executed cold dish. Crunchy, lightly tangy and cooling, it does an excellent job of cutting through the oiliness of the main pot. The menu also features other cold starters such as Sichuan Spicy Chicken in Red Chilli Oil, Crunchy Chinese Broccoli, Silken Tofu with Century Egg, Braised Peanuts with Celery, Pang Pang’s Cold Noodles and Seasonal Vegetables.

Beef Tripe Bowl 4/5

For appetisers, we tried the Beef Tripe Bowl ($15.80), which impressed with its satisfying crunch and springy bite. The tripe is coated in a spicy, piquant chilli sauce that delivers both heat and fragrance without overwhelming the palate.

Pangpang’s Fried Glutinous Rice Cake 4.2/5

The Pang Pang’s Fried Glutinous Rice Cake ($8.80) makes for a delightful snack. Deep-fried to a golden crisp exterior, the inside remains soft and chewy, with molten brown sugar oozing out for a sweet-savoury finish that is surprisingly addictive.

Pangpang’s Signature Ice Tea and ⁠Pineapple, Passionfruit Ice Tea 4/5

Given the bold and rich flavours across the menu, Pang Pang’s Signature Ice Tea, along with the Pineapple, Passionfruit Ice Tea, are perfect accompaniments. Sweet, refreshing and lightly fruity, they help refresh the palate and keep the meal enjoyable till the very end.

Overall, Pang Pang delivers precisely what it promises — hearty, indulgent casseroles packed with flavour, complemented by well-thought-out sides and drinks. It is easy to see why this brand has achieved cult status in China, and the January promotion only sweetens the deal for those looking to indulge in more than one pot.

Note: This is an invited tasting.
