Welcome to Rochor.

From Wing Seong Fatty’s Restaurant
Once a while indulgence to this tasty plate of roast meat rice.
Shiok.

[ROCHOR, SINGAPORE] I would say first that the Slice Beef Soup 🍲 ($16.90) here is not for everyone, due to its initial seemingly bland flavour. Salt and pepper is provided for you to add to taste, and that further brings out the beef flavour in the soup 😁

Most might think that it's not flavourful enough, but I feel like it's purposely made this way to contrast the savoury kimchi provided to pair with rice. The kimchi is made in-house and very different from any other Korean restaurants. Their cabbage is somehow crispier, and the marinade used had a very deep savoury and garlicky flavour. Pair that with rice and chase them with a mouthful of the light comforting soup and you get a satisfying meal!

If you want a deeper flavour, I believe the Half Chicken Soup 🍲 ($15.90) may appeal to you better. The chicken broth flavour is more prominent after adding some salt, and the chicken itself is so tender and succulent.

Come here for comforting soup & amazing kimchi 😋

($13) smoked chicken based broth but then a bit thick texture for me.

($7.80 with egg) I come back for another best selling dish. I enjoyed their butter pork sauce to be smooth texture. I did getting jelak tbh since its quite creamy and milky.

[BENCOOLEN, SINGAPORE] Can't believe I ordered pasta at 10am in the morning, but it was definitely satisfying 😂

The Seafood Squid Ink Spaghetti 🍝 ($22) at @twentyeightcafe was well executed, as the pasta was al dente and well flavoured with prawn oil for a more intense seafood flavour 😍 the seafood ingredients may be frozen, but they were well cooked as they were still snappy 😋 although it was quite spicy, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I paired the pasta with an Iced Latte (around $7) which was also quite decent. It could have been slightly more intense, but the chocolate roasty flavours were definitely noticeable!

As it has a big space, this cafe is good for big groups or if you want to complete your work there. Will be back :)

I finally went down for their famous meal - salted egg chicken ($7.50) included sunny up egg. I enjoyed their salted egg sauce to be smooth and not that spicy. I did getting jelak tbh since its quite creamy and milky. chicken serving was really getting big as I observed from picture at Google except batter.

[ROCHOR, SINGAPORE] Found yet another Korean restaurant that makes me wanna come back for more 😍

I believe @gagahoho_sg is known for their unique Kimchi, that is very unlike the ones served in other establishments. The cabbage slices are much larger, and they were very fresh and crisp. The seasoning on the kimchi can be quite heavy on the fermented shrimp, but it's perfect with some rice. Give me that with rice and I think it's a meal already 🤭

For the recent rainy weather, their Seoul Beef Soup ($15.90) is lovely, due to its comforting beef broth. Meat slices were tender, though we wished it was slightly thicker. Do note that you need to salt the broth yourself!

Their Boiled Pork Slices ($36) are a must have to share, as it's so tender and flavourful, all without the pork odour. Pair this with their condiments and a vegetable wrap and you get a satisfying bite!

Last but not least, their Squid Leek Pancake ($19) is another must order. Crispy and savoury with a heavy seafood flavour, the pancakes were so rich and addictive especially with the crispy bits on top! It can be quite heavy so it's best to share 🤣

With a focused menu, no GST and quality food, I can't wait for my next visit here again!

They were bustling with a crowd on a weekend dinner time, but turnover was quick.

Queue to order your food first; after paying, they’ll find you a seat.

Within 15 mins I’d ordered, sat down, & my Salted Egg Chicken with Rice ($7) arrived warm & promising. The egg (80¢) is an affordable add-on that IMHO is very worth it.

We were told if we added too much salt, they could add soup for us to balance it out. Halfway through, we enquired if we could get a bit more soup & were told "其实我们这里是不可以加汤的" ("actually you can't just add soup like that")..... So I guess there's a pro-tip for you right there. Add a lot of salt at the start, if you want more soup? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Seems like it's a matter of principle... There's a first time for everything, I suppose.

In all, a confusing experience & I didn't particularly enjoy the food. The fresh kimchi was pretty good, but that's not enough to make me want to return.
