Jang Shou Korean BBQ @ Esplanade

Korean food are getting more popular with Singaporean especially after the popular 大长今 Korean drama. I always enjoy dining at a Korean restaurant because I will be overwhelmed by all the different side dishes they served.

My friends and I went to check out Jang Shou Korean BBQ at Esplanade. The restaurant is a bit difficult to locate as the main entrance is hidden in an alley between Thai Express and Glutton Bay Makansutra.

For the BBQ, you need to order at least 2 portions of meat. We went for the grilled beef rib meat and grilled chicken ribs. We also ordered kimchi casserole which had a lot of ingredients in it. A very nice dish to be eaten with the rice. Once the side dishes were served, the waiter/waitress served the meat and BBQ it for us. The food was excellent but expensive. Ventilation could be improved cos I left smelling of BBQ all over.

Grilled Beef Rib Meat 4.5/5

Kimchi Casserole 4.5/5

To get here, alight at either Esplanade or City Hall MRT stations. Follow the underground Citylink Mall pathway and you will be able to reach the Esplanade.

Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice (新记鸡饭) @ Commonwealth Aveune

Sin Kee Chicken Rice used to be located at Commonwealth Avenue Food Centre second floor. It has moved to block 38 along the Commonweath Avenue along the main road with a larger and air conditioned premises. Very basic interior with blown up posters of awards and photograph taken with President Nathan.

The chicken indeed is still one of the best in town with its jelly like skin, tender and succulent meat. The chicken rice was also very fragrant even thought ginger was not used unlike the norm in most chicken rice stalls. Another important ingredient for chicken rice is the chili sauce which was excellent too. I have to say Sin Kee has it all, the chicken meat, rice and sauce.
