Arirang Korean Restaurant
Well, well, well. I know this blog has not been updated in a long long time and needs some contributions from its creator. Frankly speaking, I have been to many eating places but my computer was spoilt, I forgot to take pictures, I was too busy, etc, etc. Excuses.
Anyway, I popped over to Arirang recently for a Korean lunch as it is located near my office. The home-run place looks minimalistic, like you have just stepped into someone's dining room. However, the food is really good and authentic as it is cooked by 2 Korean ladies. I had presumed that the lady boss' husband worked in Singapore and the mother-in-law was helping her out. The lady boss was very friendly and spoke to us with a smattering of English and Korean. The cutlery and crockery used were Korean style too so I like the experience as it feels like you are in a small eatery in Korea.
Oh, a very good sign that I noticed at the eatery was that it is frequented by Koreans. The natives would know where the good food is!
My companion and I ordered 2 set lunches - the Korean bibimbap (or loosely translated as mixed rice) and the Beef Bulgogi set. Side dishes such as "ikan bilis", kimchi, pickles were served alongside.
The food is very delicious and though I am not a very big fan of Korean food (as I think some dishes are weird), I can feel the homecooked quality and the effort put into cooking. The lady boss even gave us some cold seaweed soup to drink and commented that it was good for our skin. Erm, good for the skin perhaps but it was cold soup and kind of sour, not exactly entertaining to our tastebuds. Nonetheless, it was kind of the boss to do so and it's really hospitable of her. In addition, we were served ginseng tea which is a refreshing drink to accompany the food. Supposedly good for your body too.
As for prices, the set lunch menu is really worth the money as 1 set cost less than $10 each. Next time when I go back, I will try the kimchi tofu soup with rice. This is my favourite. Yummy. Can't wait!
