Can you believe how generous this place is with their banchans (complimentary Korean appetizers)?
Apart from the 9 small dishes as seen with the mindblowingly delicious sweet seaweed soup, there was also a complimentary bowl of steamed egg served! Whilst the chef may have experienced some difficulties with the steamed egg that day as it was burnt, the other dishes were just amazingly fresh and chilled.
Particularly adored the delicate balance of the sweet-spicy toppoki (allowed for one refill), spicy tofu, and sweet-salty seaweed! Really impressed by the freshness of the dishes as it was easily detectable that these banchans were freshly prepared instead of being typical commercially store bought ones.
Kudos to free flow and delicious banchans! 😍
Not the cheapest pajeon around at $25++, I would say this Korean seafood pancake is easily one of the more authentic Korean pancakes you can get in Singapore.
Whilst retaining that crispy crunchy edge and thick interior laden with aplenty prawns, squid and leek, the somewhat spicy-sweet dip accompanying it provided such an amazingly pleasant elevation to enhance the overall flavor profile of the dish.
Definitely would be back to try the bulgogi pancake next time round!
Chock full with fresh and hearty portions of assorted Korean fish cakes (some even with fillings enclosed within), seafood (mussels, prawns and flower crab), some assorted greens and a boiled egg, I found this generous dish a steal at $38++.
The broth was light yet tasty, underlined with a hint of spiciness that came from the fresh cut slices of chili hidden beneath. Kept hot by the continual flames of the stove below, this dish is a must have on rainy days!
Shatteringly crispy at the edges whilst retaining that thick, glorious interior laden with aplenty stretchy mozzarella cheese (forgot to take a #cheesepull picture as we were too excited to dig in), minced beef, tomato paste and kimchi, this pancake was such a bliss to the sight and tastebuds.
Loved how the pancake had that delicate balance of slight spiciness from the kimchi, saltiness from the cheese, and tanginess from the tomato paste. Best was the amalgam of composite textures that came together beautifully.
Really glad that Masizzim has managed to keep up their standards since their inception - from which I’ve been a loyal patron to - and to which, promises my continual return not only with this pancake ($13.80++), but also alongside other perennial favorites: honey mustard cheese egg roll and rice balls!
Masiseoyo! 🤤
