Lunch @ Song of the Prince Korean Food

A wee bit tired today so I'll try to keep this as short as possible. Photos in this set were taken with the iPhone.

Lunch today with the colleague was at our weekly favourite haunt, Song of the Prince Korean Food located in a corner of Bukit Merah Central. Haha I know what you're thinking... the name sounds kinda cringey and cheesy(and I think there's some K-drama by the same name as well). It's manned by a couple of China PRs, but boy, is the food really good for its price(that is, if you fancy Korean food)! Prices range from around $4.50-6.50 and it's a lot tastier than some of the stuff passing off as pseudo-Korean cuisine at some food courts.

My usual order is the beef bibimbap(mixed rice hot stone bowl) but I decided to order my 2nd favourite item on the menu today, the kimchi ramen with beef. It was really tasty but too spicy when I had it last week so I asked them to reduce the spiciness this time round. Alas, it seemed that part of the tastiness had disappeared along with it. What I like about it though is that it actually has a richer taste than some hawker places...you know how it tastes like the cook made it by simply throwing a packet of "Shin" korean noodles with its msg seasoning into a pot! But I guess I'll have my beef bibimbap again the next time round.


The colleague had the chicken bibimbap today. Just a short description about what I love about their bibimbap...there's just enough Korean chilli sauce to go with it and the rice seems to be "burnt" just right when all the ingredients are mixed together. All of their food come with chilli anchovies and kimchi as side dishes(which aren't fantastic but edible enough...I guess you can't expect too much for what you pay!)


Other items on the menu are your usual Korean "hawker" standards, such as chicken/pork/beef bulgogi with rice, Saba fish with rice and soup, kimchi soup, yuk-gae-jang(spicy beef soup), etc. I've seen quite a lot of people order the ramen with fried chicken cutlet so I guess that's one of their popular items as well.

Looks like it's going to continue to be a weekly haunt for the both of us for quite awhile. :)
