Dakga @ Duxton Road - First And Only Chicken-Centric Korean Barbecue Restaurant In Singapore

Dakga at Duxton Road is Singapore's first and only chicken-centric Korean barbecue restaurant. Unlike other Korean barbecue places, Dakga offers farm-fresh chicken straight from the coop to the table. You can also enjoy different parts of the poultry on the grill.

Chicken Heart and Gizzard

I am a fan of chicken innards, so I am glad I can get Chicken Heart ($13/100g) and Gizzard ($13/120g) at Dakga. It is also the first time having them on the grill.

Chicken Oyster

One of the juiciest parts of the chicken is the Chicken Oyster ($24 for 6pc). It is considered one of the tastiest parts of the chicken, just behind near the thigh area.

Boneless Neck Meat

The most prized cut of the chicken has to be the Boneless Neck Meat ($28 for 150g). Unfortunately, only limited qualities are available each day. As you can imagine, a chicken only has a neck, and there is not a lot of meat around. After grilling, it has a delightfu l crunchy texture.

Marinated Bone in Thigh ($28 for 400g)

Another favourite among the different cuts of the chicken is the Marinated Bone In Thigh ($28 for 400g). It is marinated in a house-blend seasoning, lifting the taste profile.

  Kimchi Pancake 3/5

There are several sides to complement the barbeque experience, each carefully crafted to match the flavour of the chicken. Firing up the appetite is the sour and spicy Kimchi Pancake ($16), which is a bit too doughy for my liking.

Curry Fried Chicken 4/5

The Curry Fried Chicken ($22 for 3 pc) is a delightful side seasoned with curry powder and coated in crisp. I recommend dunking this into the cheese fondue for accentuated enjoyment.

Old School Lunch Box 4.5/5

If you are still not full, you can fill up with the Old School Lunch Box ($10) which consists of fluffy rice, Korean chicken spam, sunny side up, myeoichi-bokkeum (stir-fried anchoivies) and kimchi. You can suppose to close the lid and give it a good shake to mix everything together.

Dakga takes pride in capturing that same simple and comforting element of Korean dining by reinventing dakgalbi in its unique interpretation – through prized chicken offerings and colourful sides for an authentic Korean chicken BBQ experience. In addition, diners get free cheese fondue with nachos/tortillas with $50 minimum spend on food.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Boeuf @ Telok Ayer Street - 2Hr All You Can Eat Free Flow Argentinian Ribeye On Weekends

Boeuf, located in the Central Business District, is a new steakhouse that offers a variety of aged prime ribs as well as steak with varying marbling scores and beef sourced from around the globe without breaking the bank.

Bone Marrow 4/5

We started with the Bone Marrow ($18/$30) with toasted bread, perfect for mopping up the creamy, rich-tasting bone marrow.

Wagyu Tartare 4/5

Next is the Wagyu Tartare ($28). The portion is generous. Using 400+ days grass-fed Australia Wagyu MB5, the raw beef tossed with capers, shallot, and gherkins is packed with lovely flavours. I am told the chef added mayonnaise, giving it a delightful creamy texture.

Board Minnie 4/5

The Board Minnie ($48) is great for sharing and comes with two kinds of cheese, bresaola and veal rillette. You can also create your own board at $13 each per selection.

Signature Dry Aged Prime Rib Bone-In 4.5/5

The highlight has to be their Signature Dry Aged Prime Rib Bone-In ($18/100g). It comes bone-in, with a minimum of 1kg of charcoal-grilled beefy goodness. Customers get to pick their own dry-aged option, grilled over charcoal on a lava stone, giving it a good char and infused with a smoky aroma. It is then popped into the oven to lock in the juiciness. There are four different accompanying sauces - Steak Butter ($5), Pepper ($5), Mushroom ($6) and Blue Cheese ($6).

Potato Gratin 4.5/5

Kenya Bean 3.5/5

Hand Cut Fries 4/5

We had some sides to go with the beautiful charcoal-grilled prime ribs. Out of the six items available on the sides menu, we picked the Potato Gratin ($12), Kenya Bean ($9) and Hand Cut Fries ($9). Out of the three sides, the Potato Gratin stood out. The layered potato slices baked in cream and cheese were deliciously flavoured with herbs adding a subtle earthy taste profile. The kenya bean and hand-cut fries were comforting dishes that complemented the steak and frites dining experience.

Argentinian Ribeye 4/5

Beef lovers will rejoice that Boeuf has a 2-Hour Eat All You Can Free-Flow Argentinian Ribeye promotion for only $48++ on weekends. However, despite free flow, the restaurant did not shy away from offering quality cuts.

Choco De Coco 4/5

After all the meats, it is good to end the meal on a sweet note. Chocolate lovers will revel in the Choco De Coco ($13) served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. There is even chestnut in the dark chocolate dessert.

Creme Brulee 4/5

The Cream Brulee ($13) was soft and creamy with a crackling caramelised sugar on top. The contrast provides a wonderful textural experience for a satisfying sweet ending.
