Peppermint @ PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay - Bringing Vibrant Flavours of Korea to The Heart of Marina Bay

Back by popular demand, Seoul Good returns to Peppermint for a limited time from 6 June (Dinner) to 13 July 2025 (Lunch). This special edition of the halal-certified buffet brings the vibrant flavours of Korea to the heart of Marina Bay, curated by Chef de Cuisine Leon Yee and his talented team.

With nearly 40 dishes available, this Korean showcase celebrates the diversity and comfort of the country’s cuisine – from sizzling meats to soul-warming soups and vibrant street food. Here’s a taste of what to expect:

Banchans

You're greeted by an inviting spread of Banchan the moment you step in. The small plates included Kkakdugi (spicy pickled radish), Baechu Kimchi (fermented cabbage) and Gim Gui (roasted seaweed), offering a crunchy, tangy and savoury start to awaken your palate. It's a great way to sample a little bit of everything before moving on to the heavier dishes.

Korean Bibimbap

One of the most eye-catching stations was the Make-Your-Own Bibimbap. With colourful vegetables, marinated meats, and sauces, diners can customise their rice bowls to their liking, from classic gochujang to a drizzle of sesame oil for that authentic Korean touch.

Korean Spicy Cheese and Corn Pizza

Haemul Pajeon

Japchae

Some standouts included the Korean Spicy Cheese & Corn Pizza – rich, creamy and satisfying with a hint of spice and the Haemul Pajeon (seafood pancake), which had a great crisp edge and generous bits of squid and prawns. The Japchae stir-fried sweet potato noodles were well-balanced with just the right amount of chew and umami.

Beef Galbi

Chicken Bulgogi

Yang-Galbi

Kkorijjim

Carnivores will be well-fed with the buffet’s generous spread of grilled and braised meats, including crowd favourites like Beef Galbi and Chicken Bulgogi. Two standout additions include Yang-Galbi, Korean-style lamb spare ribs that offer a rich, smoky bite and Kkorijjim, a deeply comforting dish of braised wagyu oxtail simmered until fork-tender. Each option is full of bold, savoury flavours and perfect for piling onto your plate or wrapping in lettuce for a satisfying ssam-style bite.

Korean Fried Chicken

Of course, no Korean meal is complete without Korean Fried Chicken. Choose between Spicy and Garlic Soy or have both. Crispy, juicy and addictive, this was easily one of the most popular items at the buffet.

Korean Style Seabass

Tteobokki with Fishcake

Beyond the showstoppers, there are several comforting dishes worth trying. The Tteokbokki with Fishcake – chewy rice cakes in a mildly spicy sauce, is a Korean street food staple that's always a crowd-pleaser.

Jjamppong

At the live noodle station, they were serving up Jjamppong, a spicy seafood noodle soup that delivered a bold, punchy broth. However, the noodles were a touch too soft for our liking.

Samgyentang

We also sampled the Samgyetang, a traditional ginseng chicken soup served with glutinous rice. It was mild in flavour but soothing and comforting.

Baesuk

While we didn’t spot many Korean-themed desserts, there was Baesuk (Korean pear soup), a refreshing end to the meal, although the strong cinnamon note might not appeal to everyone.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Korean cuisine or simply craving something different, Seoul Good at Peppermint delivers a delightful experience filled with comforting flavours, generous portions and value for money.

San Xiang Bak Chor Mee (叁香肉脞面) @ ABC Brickwoods Food Centre - A Bold Bowl of Vinegar-forward Bak Chor Mee

It has been a while since I last revisited ABC Brickworks Food Centre, and during my recent visit, I was delighted to stumble upon San Xiang Bak Chor Mee, a new addition that has popped up since my previous trip. Naturally, I had to give it a try.

Bak Chor Mee (Meepok) 4.2/5

I went for the classic Bak Chor Mee ($4/$5/$6), choosing mee pok as my noodle base. The bowl was comforting and familiar, served with a hearty mix of minced pork, pork liver, meatball, and fishball. Each ingredient held its own, especially the liver, which was cooked just right, tender and not overdone. The real highlight, though, was the sauce. The punchy sambal base carried a bold, vinegary tang. It tied everything together beautifully, coating the springy noodles for a mouthful of umami and spice with every bite.

Bak Chor Mee (Mee Sua) 4/5

My dining companion opted for the mee sua version. The rice vermicelli was soft and comforting, absorbing the sauce well without becoming mushy. There was a distinct rice aroma that added a touch of depth. While the mee sua made for a gentler, more delicate bowl, the mee pok offered better textural contrast and held up stronger against the assertive flavours of the sambal.

San Xiang Bak Chor Mee is a solid addition to the lineup at ABC Brickworks. The flavours are bold, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are satisfying. If you’re a fan of a vinegar-forward Bak Chor Mee, this stall is definitely worth a try.
