Can you enjoy Korean food without chilli? Kim Dae Mun offers a resounding yes. Having eschewed the spicy gochujang (red chilli paste) and the spiced sweet sauce, I was pleasantly surprised that the bibimbap itself presented a wonderful profundity of flavours: Sweetness from the diced eggplants, savoury relish amply coating the bulgogi strips, capped by a hot peppery thrill from the marinated tofu and a zesty sharpness from the pickled vegetables. More than just value for money, this dish was an absolute feast.

💭 Must try
Served piping hot with a good array of wings and drumsticks, this dish was the very embodiment of decadence! Insidiously crispy, evenly marinated, boldly flavoured and kicked up a notch by the smattering of chilli flakes. I’m impressed by how easily detachable the meat and bones were from the remaining stalk of chicken, and that is, if anything, testament to how soft the chicken was.
