new found appetite for Korean food

I was not a big fan of Korean food. It stirs up images of a big pot of kimchi soup where everything is thrown inside and boiled...

But all this is thrown away when I visited this little Korean restaurant in Peck Seah St for lunch.

The starters was pretty good. Although I didn't get why fishcakes were there, and the spinach was a little fibrous. But the Kimchi (zinggy!!), anchovies and egg-vegetable thing was really good!

But what's REALLY good was the grilled mackerel. Oh... The outside was grilled to perfection! It's skin was thin and crispy. When poked with the chopsticks, it breaks easily to reveal the fish's moist flesh. Put the fish in your mouth and it literally melts in it! Eat it with the wasabi and soy sauce and you'll be in heaven. Yum!!

The best thing? It's unbeatable price! $9.50 for a get lunch like this. A similar meal in a food court would already cost $7 to $8. But here, it's restaurant service, free flow of Korean tea (it's got quite a unique flavour - almost like lightly burnt caramel.) and also free flow of appetizers! I'm definitely coming back!
