Unfortunately though...most of the Korean restaurants in Singapore are really not up to mark in terms of the variety, freshness and generosity. One of the restaurant even wanted to charge me for refills!!!! Luckily, they saw the errors of their way and did away with that parctice subsequemtly. Probably had too many people complaining. Whoever heard for a Korean eatery charging for refill of ban chan????!!!!
The only 2 restaurants that I've tried and been somewhat close to standard were Mana Restaurant (along Telok Ayer St) and Mido Restaurant (26 Tanjong Pagar Rd, though I don't think it's called Mido anymore).
Anyway... I figured if I can't have the real thing now, I could at least look at them right? I just got to make sure I don't drool over my keyboard.. hahaha!
This was from the abalone restaurant in Jeju. bb has blogged about it but hor...she wrote so much, I don't where to look. Anyway, here's her blogsite
This was part of the royal cuisine that I tried at the Gyeongbokgung Palace during my 2004 trip sponsored by KNTO. Very, very good. For more infor, you can go to KNTO's website here.And I love the kimchis...
Raddish kimchi from Good Morning, Kimchi!
Whole Cabbage kimchi from Good Morning, Kimchi!
Fried Cucumbers from Le Wade's Korean CookeryNow, if I can have these Ban Chan together with my other type of Ban Chan...it would be great. Wahahaha! You can read about my other Ban Chan here and here
Now, I'm really, really hungry! Oops, that doesn't sound too good... hahaha!

I prefer manna also. I heard that rain had a dinner in manna, the owner of the restaurant was so proud of that. Are u working for press? Were you in Seoul supported by KNTO? Oh~ Even I didn't know you're working.

You know what?? While I was drooling, reading your blog, one of my co-workers, who is a korean lady came into my office. We both feel like Korean food. So we decided to KOBA korean restaurant for lunch, which I went with Fendi, when she came to CA.
I am going to have seefood soon tofu with a lot of Ban Chan. One of the Ban Chan they serve is fried covina fish ... sooo good.

Actually, I just had Korean food last week too but it was in a foodcourt...no shiok lah.
Korea ah... don't know..if the event is anytime soon, then probably not. If later...maybe..maybe...
Oh forgot to tell you Han..I'm not with the press though I am in advertising.
KNTO sponsored trips for various fan clubs around the world, though mainly Asia. I was with the Sinfapore's BYJ fanclub, Joon's Family. ^^
