Naeum restaurant - Contemporary Korean cuisine!!
This is one of my favourite fine dining places in Singapore.
Their classic menu is 198++, Signature is 258. They change the menu by episode, currently having fifth one. If it is your first time, I highly recommend to go for Signature because it includes their famous dishes like duckgalbi and somyeon. Below is the signature menu.
This is the "Madai - green pea - milssam" to start. Refreshing, the best to have drinks together. And presentation is really cute...!
This is "duckgalbi", but this time they changed a little to skewer type. Previous menus had this duckgalbi in finger food. Taste wise, I prefer the previous one.
"kampachi" - myoga, winter melon, goose berry. Refreshing, fresh ingredient, great pair with champagnes.
This is their famous "somyeon". But for every menu they have different variation. This time it is buckwheat noodles with pork belly and kimchi! This was great - reminds me having k bbq with cold noodles.
"Dongchimi" with uni, scallop, red prawn - I personally really liked this because it is white type kimchi that I could not try before. A bit sour and refreshing. Great harmony with seafood! I heard there are hundreds of different types of Kimchi in Korea. Interesting!
"Red Mullet" - with norangchoksu, canola blossom, fermented bean. Not an eye opener however just good.
"So bbq" - wagyu beef, sweet potato leaf, banchan. Safe option, but I really liked the banchan, which is like small side dish that comes together. The vege was really cute...
"Doeji-galbi bap" - pork ribs, corn rice, black truffle. They cook this rice in a huge clay pot (?) and the portion is really generous. At this point I was really full...
"Melon lime punch" - refreshing, good for cleansing!
"hotteok" - Multigrain, jujube ice cream, charcoal. This is from previous episode menu. Hotteok is one of the Korean street food / dessert.
OK the last one! jeongpyeon, gwapyeon, gangjeong, gukija to end. These are Korean traditional snacks.
This is my forth visit to Naeum. This was another great course and great value compared to other more branded Michelin starred or fine dining restaurants. Oh Naeum is young restaurant but they got one michelin star as well! One thing - it's quite a small place and it could get noisy... service is good.
Reservation in advance (1 month+ at least) is a must.
Please share if you also tried this place! and please recommend others too.. happy Monday :)
