If deulkkae kalguksu is the perfect dish for cold and wet days, naengmyeon is the perfect counterpart for warm and sweltering hot days (or pretty much everyday).
Noodle Star K is apparently the first in town to serve handmade naengmyeon with dangmyeon (potato starch noodles) or chikguksu (arrowroot noodles). We prefer the later for its chewy bite and springy bouncy texture.
The noodles are served in a clear refreshing broth made of beef and radish kimchi. It is sweet, tangy and zesty. I personally recommend adding a strong dash of vinegar and mustard (and sesame oil!) to give it an extra flavour boost.
The dish is then topped with julienned pear, radish kimchi, cucumber, hard boiled egg and slices of beef. It is traditional to have these toppings but I never fancied the hard boil egg and beef which don't seem to add much to the dish.
The perfect way to enjoy this dish is simply to slurp the noodles and gulp down the cold broth especially in the dog days of summer!
If you are a fan of carbonara, you will definitely be a fan of deulkkae kalguksu!
Like the Italian staple, this little gem of a Korean dish is rich and creamy. However, the two dishes are very different because deulkkae kalguksu comes in the form of a noodle soup, a thick milky nutty and flavourful broth bomb. The kalguksu are also handcut noodles (instead of hand pulled pasta noodles), giving it a much more chewy and irregular texture.
I personally love the layers of flavours in this dish - the subtle sweetness of the vegetable chicken broth base and the nutty aromatic creamy grounded perilla seeds combine gloriously to create a perfect comforting dish for wet weather days.
I rejoice that there are more and more places serving this wonderful dish and have been a repeat customer since!
Deulkkae Kalguksu is one of my favourite Korean noodle dishes.
In a nutshell, it reminds me of carbonara and is perfect for vegetarians since it is wholly plant based. I love its creamy and herbaceous flavours which is perfect for a rainy day.
Noodle Star K does a good creamy version of this. I personally prefer Myung Ga's version which is bolder in flavours but this is good too!
Love this upgrade set as it comes with mushrooms and Braised eggs on the side. I love the hand pulled noodles! Chef is skillful to make the noodles thin and chewy, a blend between mee hoon kueh and Knife-cut noodles. Mala version was not too spicy. Pleasantly surprised that it's halal! Delicious!
I went on a saturday lunchtime and queue moves relatively quick. The noodles were slightly tough for me. The items in the bowl were all cold. The char siew was nice and had a good mix of lean and fat meat. Topup $5 and you get a generous portion of abalone. The black sauce doesnt make the noodles too salty or oily. They serve a small bowl of hot soup with 2 wantons. The wanton had meat, shrimp, black fungus and corriander. The soup tasted peppery.
I love Hakka Noodles and the Spicy Hakka Sauce Handmade Noodle with Century Egg ($12.90) is not bad. The handmade noodles are tossed in lard, minced meat, friend anchovies, shallots, black fungus and spring onion. I felt that the century egg did not do much for the noodles though😅. The minced meat is a little salty but overall the noodle is still quite tasty and fragrant. The portion is sizeable as well. Glad to try this!
Their beef cuts are good, but they accidentally gave us tripe too. I don't know why 红烧 here is spicy.
Plus an egg, which was meant to be runny, but came fully fried. Their beef cuts are good, but they accidentally gave us tripe too.
Saw this store featured in the tiktok of a Japanese lady living in Singapore, and fortunately I also discovered that it is one of Burpple's merchants as well!
They offer a wide range of sobas in both hot and cold varieties, as well as rice bowls, sides, and even drinks. Everything looked so good, especially the current monthly special (oyster soba!), and we finally settled on the Collagen Chicken Soba (Hot) and Yuzu-Miso Chicken Soba (Cold). The collagen chicken soup was light-tasting and yet still full of flavour, with generous slices of chicken breast. The minced ginger also gave the broth a certain 'spiciness', and I would liken the dish to be a soupy version of chicken rice. This was good, but we very much preferred the yuzu-miso chicken soba - the coldness of the broth brought out the citrusy-savoury flavours so much more, with the crisp doumiao lending some freshness and the perfectly grilled chicken thighs rounding up the dish. Just amazing, we couldn't stop slurping this up.
Overall, service was prompt and friendly, and general ambience was bright and cheery. Prices are also pretty affordable considering the quality you get, but of course having the Burpple deal makes it all the more worth (our two bowls only came up to $18!). Would definitely return!
A Vietnamese take on our local fried noodles cooked with sliced pork belly, vegetables, carrot, onion and a pinch of black pepper that gives a simple and homely taste/flavour 》$9.90
Served with grilled pork slices over a plate of white rice noodles and herbs with a side dish of dipping sauce.
The taste of meaty and slightly fatty grilled pork along with the flavours of fresh vegetables, crunchy spring rolls mixed with sweet and sour dipping sauce and rice vermicelli create a stunning harmony of taste in my mouth 》$9.90
