Myung Ga III 명가 (Beauty World)

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Pretty good flavour! A lot of seafood in there.

Very disappointed. Used to taste so good but it’s pretty bad now.

Very disappointed with this - burnt ends and not tasty.

I am probably not the only one confused but there is actually not one but two Korean restaurants by the name of "Myung Ga" in the Bukit Timah area. I usually frequent Myung Ga II at Bukit Timah Plaza but it was closed the night I visited so I decided to check out Myung Ga III at Beauty World instead.

According to the wait staff, Myung Ga II and III are separate restaurants whose owners are friends. They aren't related but have similar (if not the same) menu.

The good is rather similar. The tonkatsu is huuuuuuge as with all Korean style tonkatsus with a nice sweet sauce. I ordered a takeaway which was probably why the pork cutlet came in pieces instead of one huge slab. The meat was well marinated and the crust shattering crisp. I do prefer Myung Ga II's version because it was a little more tender and juicy but it might just be because I had their tonkatsu fresh instead of sitting in a box for the 45 minutes drive home.

I do want to know though... Is there a Myung Ga I?!?

Soft tofu stew that comes with seafood or kimchi! Came with a good amount of seafood ingredients here like mussels, squid and a scallop. The default spice level is manageable, and was comforting to have. Rice is a separate add on.
