D’RIM – New Korean Restaurant at Mandarin Gallery with Premium Lunch Sets and Korean Barbecue

D’RIM is one of the newest Korean restaurants in town that I’ve been invited to try recently, located at the upscale Mandarin Gallery. I initially thought that D’RIM was a wordplay on “dream”, but it was actually the short romanized version of 드림 (deu-rim), which means the act of giving with respect and sincerity. It’s normally used as a sign off on emails/letters, something akin to “Yours Sincerely”.

The restaurant has multiple dining areas, including private rooms for gatherings. We were seated at the counter seats where we got to view most of the action.

There were a la carte and set lunch menus, an all day Korean barbecue grilled meat menu, and even a dinner omakase menu.

From the lunch set menu, we had 2 lunch “Bansang” sets. These sets came with a choice of main dish and fixed side dishes of Korean steamed egg, kohlrabi kkakdugi, pine nut salad, sungchae dumplings, yukjeon and Korean pickle. The sungchae dumplings were the interesting and not so commonly found side dish that I was hooked on – unlike the usual dumpling, the filling is wrapped with Chinese cabbage leaves.

We also had some healthy teas to pair with our sets. I got the Mandarin Peel Tea which tasted very medicinal and healthy.

Moving on to the mains, the D’RIM Signature Noodle (A la carte $26, Set $38) is one of their signature dishes which I highly recommend. It featured 100% buckwheat noodles with a fragrant perilla seed sauce, beef heel muscle, handmade soy sauce, perilla oil, garlic chives, spinach, sesame seeds, perilla leaves and perilla leaf sprouts. The noodles here are freshly made daily with special Jeju buckwheat flour, which even within Korea is sold as a premium item with a higher cost. I loved the springiness of the noodles, and particularly the fragrance of the entire dish after pouring in the perilla oil and mixing all the ingredients.

The other main I tried was the Jeju Yukgaejang (A la carte $32, Set $44), which was a spicy beef and vegetable soup made with Jeju rock fern, brisket, buckwheat flour, green onions, sesame seeds and red pepper powder. The rock fern and brisket combination had an interesting texture, and together with the soup, this dish felt earthy.

The premium ingredients used in the dishes was the highlight for me – the dishes all tasted wholesome as a result.

Would love to try their K-BBQ menu at the next opportunity.

Blu Kouzina @ The Palawan – The OG Greek Restaurant in Singapore Opens New Branch at Sentosa

Blu Kouzina has always been my favorite Greek/Mediterranean restaurant in Singapore, hands down. I first got to experience their food at their first outlet at Dempsey Hill, which has a lovely, warm atmosphere in the indoor dining area and a cool, Greek vibe at their patio.

Since then, they have expanded to a second outlet at Siglap and recently, a third outlet at Sentosa. The Sentosa outlet is situated in a new enclave called The Palawan, which is a sprawling lifestyle and entertainment complex for activities (outdoor mini golf course, electric go-kart circuit, etc.), beach clubs and food. It was a 10mins walk away from Beach Station and mostly sheltered.

Befitting of a beach side restaurant, the alfresco dining area was decked in wooden tables and rattan chairs, complemented with white sofas, hanging rattan lamps and other adornments. It directly overlooks the Palawan Beach where HydroDash is. Though it might get slightly warm without the breeze (no fans or air con in this area), I would still gladly laze in the charming alfresco area.

Otherwise, there was also a cooler indoor dining area which was furnished in the classic blue and white Greek theme.

To my surprise, there was a wide range of coffees on the menu and to spare myself the tough decision, I got the staff to prepare whichever coffee variation they would like. I was served a glass of the Blue Sea Latte ($10.80) which was essentially espresso coffee with milk and butterfly pea. The colours were pretty, of course. Since I switched to oat milk, the milk foam was less pompous than expected.

As a healthy start to the dishes, I had the Fresh Vegetable Salad ($28.50) that came as a heap of thinly grated crunchy cabbage topped with walnuts.

Moving on to something more sinful, I had the Spanakopita ($22.50). Encased in the crispy Greek phyllo pastry were warm, generous fillings of spinach and feta cheese which was a comforting snack.

Served on a large rectangular tray, the Feta Special Honey Walnut came with a huge chunk of feta cheese topped with walnuts and doused with honey. The sweet savoury combination with the crunchy texture of nuts kept me reaching out for more. This was good for sharing between 2-3 pax.

Since the emphasis at this seaside restaurant is on seafood, we had the Prawn Manestra ($30.50) as the first main course. This was a Greek orzo dish cooked in a prawn broth, enriched with garlic, onions, EVOO, and topped with a sauteed jumbo prawn. I liked the clean seafood flavour of the dish that was not overwhelming but wished that there could be more prawns to balance out the portion of the orzo.

We also had the Salmon Fillet grilled with Mediterranean herbs and served with Horta salad (boiled spinach and EVOO).

I love baklava, and I love ice cream – and so I was very satisfied that our dessert, the Baklava Ice Cream, turned out as good as I imagined the collaboration between the two to be. The ice cream was rich, creamy and smooth while generously infused with bits of phyllo pastry and nuts. Service-wise, I thought that the waiters could be more attentive as it took multiple attempts to reach out to them.

With the unobstructed beach front view, beachhouse vibes and authentic Mediterranean food, Blu Kouzina’s addition to Sentosa elevates the quality of limited dining options by the beaches.

Nest, Seoul – Rooftop Tea Café beside Tosokchon Samgyetang with View of Bukhansan

A few strides away from the ever-bustling Tosokchon Samgyetang (famous ginseng chicken soup) was a nondescript building which houses a tea café, Nest. From the main entrance of the building facing the main road, take the lift to the 5^th floor and you would expect to see the café right in front as you step out.

Minimalistic in design, the café boasted exposed ceilings, a mix of wooden brown and white chairs and tables and silver counters and display cabinets. Large window panels lined the café and provided patrons a view of the neighbouring Seochon Hanok Village with Bukhansan (Mount Bukhan) in the background.

Towards the far end of the café, there was a retail corner that is delicately designed like a showroom, where you can get things like condiments, trays or even postcards.

The café operated on a self-service basis, where ordering and picking up of food was done at the counter. Specialising in tea, the menu had various teas, both caffeinated and caffeine-free which I had a hard time choosing from. Eventually, I went for the Apple Vitamin (KRW5,500 for hot, KRW6,000 for iced). The combination of hibiscus, rose hip, apple and orange made a naturally sweet fruity tea with a slight tartness. If you’re into fruit teas, this would make a great choice.

Food-wise, the dishes on the menu were on the healthier side, with plates like a humus salad and basil chicken sandwich. I chose the most interesting sounding one, which was the Burrata Pea Croissant (KRW14,000). It came with a croissant with ham and cheese filling, and burrata cheese, peas and a grated carrot salad on the side. The flavours were clean and healthy tasting – I had suspicions about the peas at first but they were mildly sweet and went well with the burrata. The price point was also wallet-friendly, considering there was a whole burrata.

For dessert, I picked the Black Sesame Roll (KRW8,000) as a black sesame fan. I enjoyed the mild black sesame flavours of the chiffon and light cream, however I found the chiffon portion slightly dry.

If you’re feeling peckish from touring Gyeongbokgung or in need of drinks after a heavy lunch nearby, this is a hidden café, not crowded with tourists, that you could visit.

Nachbar Coffee House, Seoul (나흐바)

Specialising in filter coffee, Nachbar is a small café situated in Seochon (one of my favourite neighbourhoods!) in Seoul. I first went in spring and made a return visit in autumn – that fact on its own is a big testament to how much I liked the space and coffee.

In spring, the cherry blossom tree right next to the café creates a picturesque little scenery and casts nice shadows on the white façade of the café. The large open windows also allow for natural light to illuminate the space and patrons to people-watch while sipping their coffees. In the café, the mood was bright and cheery.

At the moment, the café is owned and solely operated by its owner, a single man show. (So waiting time might be longer if it’s a full house). He gathers a small range of filter coffee beans each time and it changes on a regular basis. The prices also differ according to each type of bean. Since the café started as a filter coffee specialty bar, I had chosen the Honduras Reyes from Goro Coffee Roasters on my first visit. I enjoyed the brew which came tasting notes of lavender, peach, and brown sugar. There was a certain level of tartness and acidity which was not overpowering for me.

In autumn, a long carpet was rolled out in the cafe and the atmosphere became cosier, with people huddling in their winter jackets and coats. This time, I noticed the owner brought in an oat milk option so I had the Latte (KRW5500, + 500 for oat). The latte was a light roast with tanginess and tartness.

I also found out that the owner recently started selling homemade Cinnamon Rolls (KRW5000 each) so I got one of it. The outer layers had a slight crisp while the inner layers were slightly fluffy and sufficiently (but not overly) sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. It would have been even better if the bread was softer and fluffier, with some cream cheese spread on top.

As I indulged in my coffee and pastry, I found it amazing how the same space could have a different mood and atmosphere as the seasons change.

Moonchild – New Brunch Cafe at Jalan Besar from the team behind Atlas Coffee

Moonchild is the newest child of the team behind Atlas Coffeehouse, Columbus Coffee Co, Supernova, Neptune, Apollo Coffee Bar and the defunct Lunar Coffee Brewers – all of which I’ve been with the exception of Columbus. With this context, it was hard not to come with a certain level of expectation.

Given that the café opened recently with much attraction to crowds, I recommend avoiding the weekend if possible or to come as early as opening hour to snag a table without queueing. On a positive note, the café had both indoor and outdoor dining areas with plenty of seats, just that they seemed to limit the number of patrons during busy periods.

With a range of Filters, Espresso Coffees, Teas, Natural Wines and other drinks to choose from, the drinks menu was extensive to suit all palates. From my 3 occasions here, I got to try both espresso blends for my Flat White and Latte ($5.3 for regular 7oz, +$1.1 for oat) – Mr Cuddles (Bold & Strong) and Mr Brightside (Juicy & Bright). Both blends suited my preference and my coffees had a creamy, nutty aftertaste like peanut butter.

The food menu was divided into The Morning Situation (9am – 3pm) which offers breakfast/brunch options and Midday to Close (11am onwards) which features lunch options like pastas, rice bowls and burgers.

I had the Potato Stack Smoked Salmon Poached Eggs ($21.9) which is their version of the eggs royale. Instead of the usual English muffin or toast, fried potato stack was used and I liked biting into the layers of potato. The eggs were also of good quality, with flowy orange golden yolks.

The Banana Bread with Espresso Mascarpone ($12.6) was huge, I couldn’t finish it on my own for breakfast. The brown creamy layer of espresso mascarpone was addictive and paired well with the fluffy bread. Salt was also sprinkled on top and created a sweet savoury combination, like salted caramel.

If I had to pick a favourite, it would be the Butterscotch Rum Bananas French Toast ($22). The brioche was sufficiently but not overly moist and fluffy and came well together with the other elements of butterscotch rum bananas, vanilla ice cream and candied hazelnuts.

If you are into thin pancakes (like McDonalds’ hot cakes), I would recommend the Hotcakes with Fresh Blueberry Compote and Raspberry Butter ($19.9), which were fluffy and light.

From the lunch menu, I tried the Unagi Don ($20.9) and it was surprisingly good. The grilled unagi was tender and optimally sweet, and was served with ikura, burnt buttered corn, furikake, nori, and Japanese rice.

I had read reviews recommending the Really Nice Mushrooms on Toast ($19.5) which comes with grilled mushrooms, spinach, pickled shallots, creamy mushroom sauce, sourdough crumb, and 2 poached eggs. However, my friend and I found the mushrooms too salty and I thought the dish could have more depth.

Apart from the slight disappointment with the mushrooms and toast, the other dishes left me well-fed and satisfied. With other promising and raved-about items on their menu, Moonchild could be that weekend brunch spot that is perpetually packed, just like its sister cafes.

Moxie – Mod Mediterranean Restaurant with Beach House Vibes

Brought to you by the folks behind Siri House is Moxie, a new modern Mediterranean restaurant and lifestyle concept. I was already impressed by the private entrance leading up to the restaurant, and the walkway from the door leading to the main dining area. The restaurant goes by the concept of a modern beach house, with the wood rattan ceiling lamps creating the vibes. I did feel like I was transported out of Singapore for a while.

Out of the different menus available (Lunch, Dinner, Weekend Brunch, Happy Hour), we had a medley of items from the dinner menu which features communal sharing plates and platters.

To start, we had the Moxie Dip Platter with Pita ($22 with 3 dips) comes with choice of dips and we were recommended the Spinach Yogurt, Smashed Kabocha and Whipped Ricotta. The Spinach Yogurt and Kabocha were the more interesting options, the former having a generous ratio of spinach to Greek while the latter has a light, natural sweetness of roasted Japanese pumpkin.

Directly air flown from Puglia is their Burrata ($19), with a creamy and flowy core that was easily torn apart. The salad was completed with red beets and grapes.

I don’t consume raw fish regularly but the Yellowtail Carpaccio ($32) was memorable. It had a slightly firm and chewy texture and was well-paired with chilli lime dressing and minced ginger flower.

Unlike its namesake, I was thankful that the Spanish Salt Cod Croquettes ($19) were not overly salty.

Our catch of the day was a 200g Seabass Fillet ($42) served chargrilled with salsa and charred spring onion puree. The skin had a nice, smoky taste while the meat was tender with a clean flavour.

The Arugula Pesto Orecchiette ($38) was a seafood feast, with crab meat, prawns and scallops. The fresh prawns were my highlight – sauteed with garlic confit in oil, dried red chili, white wine, arugula pesto and butter, they reminded me of a delicious gambas al ajillo without the spice. Though we found some parts of the orecchiette overly firm, the toasted pine nuts added a layer of texture and nuttiness that kept us going for more.

The list of cocktails at Moxie was interesting. I had a taste of the Amber Lit ($22), an Evan Williams Bourbon Infused Earl Grey Old Fashioned that was smartly paired with a small bark of rosemary and sea salt dark chocolate (70%) on top. The earl grey came as a smooth aftertaste. And well, the chocolate? I could have it as a snack all day.

We had 3 desserts and the Dark Chocolate Mousse ($16) was my favourite, hands down. The bittersweet mousse was topped with an addictive scoop of hazelnut ice cream which was distinctly nutty and not sugary.

The Tiramisu ($16) (note: only available for brunch) had a light, fluffy texture with a good amount of rum. The ratio of ladyfinger to custard was also in a range I preferred, i.e. not overly creamy.

The Moxie Mille Feuille ($19) reminded us of the kunefe, with a layer of whipped cream cheese sandwiched between 2 layers of filo pastry and finished with a crown of kataifi. This was quite heavy for me and I didn’t manage to finish it.

Overall, I thought the modern interpretation of Mediterranean food was quite well done and together with the ambience and vibes, Moxie is one dining spot I would recommend especially for large gatherings to feast on their extensive menu. The price point, I felt, was better than restaurants of similar standards in the CBD.

This was an invited media tasting.

Autumn in Seoul, 2023 – 3 Spots to Catch the Fall Foliage

If anyone were to ask me what my favourite season is, I would answer, “Autumn” in a heartbeat. My first encounter with Autumn was 5 years ago in Korea, after which I had published some posts of the places I visited.

Having booked my recent Autumn trip back to Korea for the 2^nd week of November, I was cautious not to keep my hopes high since the peak of fall foliage usually lies between the last week of October and 1^st week of November.

Alas, I reached Seoul and was greeted with good news and bad news. Good news – there were still plenty of foliage in certain parts of Seoul. Bad news – due to the unusually warm autumn this year, many leaves could not turn yellow/orange/red. You can spot that in my photos below too.

Still, I am grateful to catch the end to autumn (and an insanely quick transition to winter).

Here were the 3 spots in Seoul where I caught the vibrant colours of fall.

Sungkyunkwan University – Myeongnyundang Hall (성균관대학교 – 명륜당)

Standing majestically in the Myeongnyundang Hall in Sungkyunkwan University are a pair of gingko trees, one of which is the Natural Monument No. 59 of Korea. There are also several other gingko trees in the area. This is a well-known spot for both locals and tourists alike, so I recommend heading there early in the day to avoid the crowd.

Directions: The nearest subway station is Hyehwa, from which there is about a 20mins walk from Exit 4. I’ll recommend taking a bus which brings you closer to the campus.

2. Hyoja-ro – Staff Picks (효자로 – 스태픽스)

The Hyoja-dong neighbourhood, including the Seochon Hanok Village, is one of my most frequented areas whenever I’m in Seoul. Compared to the adjacent Bukchon Hanok Village and palaces, this area is much less touristy and has many good independent cafes and bookstores.

Hyoja-ro is the road which outlines one side of the palace walls of Gyeongbokgung and I particularly love the stretch of gingko trees lining the pathway.

Nearby, there is Staff Picks café which is strategically situated next to 2 large gingko trees.

Directions: From Gyeongbokgung Station, a 12 mins walk from Exit 1 will lead you to Staff Picks Café. Exits 2, 3 or 4 can lead you to Hyoja-ro.

3. Bukhansan Ui-dong + Café Relax (북한산 우이동 – 카페릴렉스)

It was my first time going out of my way to this neighbourhood situated at the foot of the Bukhan mountain. In this little neighbourhood where the Ui-dong stream flows across, I found several bakeries, cafes and restaurants. One of which is Café Relax, which offers different sections of seating areas where you can get a good view of the fall foliage, especially the maple leaves. Unfortunately, I came a week or two too late and missed out on the best views.

Directions: I took a train to the Bukhansan Ui station, exited via Exit 1 and walked about 20mins to the café. Buses do not go up to this area.

Edition Denmark, Seoul 에디션덴마크 (서촌 티쇼룸)

Edition Denmark is a brand founded by 2 individuals – a Danish and Korean – with the aim of introducing Danish products to Korea. There are 2 outlets in Seoul, a tea showroom in Seochon and a full-fledged café and eatery in Seongsu-dong.

After visiting the former in spring this year, I was impressed by their service, quality, and ambiance so much that I visited their main café in autumn. (I will review that in a separate post.) The tea showroom is a naturally lit, small and cosy space near Seochon Hanok Village which focuses on namely 3 products:

Premium tea by A.C Perch’s Thehandel
Raw, creamy honey by Danish Beekeepers
Light roasted specialty coffee by Coffee Collective

The tea/coffee baristas were very friendly, making small talk with me while they were behind the aesthetic, all white counter.

I was allowed to sniff through the row of colourful tins of tea leaves to pick out my tea of choice – which was the caffeine-free Just Fruit tea (KRW6000). The tea incorporates tartness from hibiscus and rose hip and sweetness from apples, grapes, and a myriad of berries. This felt like a mix of a floral and fruity tea and suited my tea preference.

My friend, a filter coffee enthusiast, had the Seasonal Filter Brew (KRW7000) which I sipped on. The coffee was very smooth with no acidic aftertaste, and an above average cup.

Curious about their honey, I also got the raw Honey from Danish Beekeeper (spring edition) with blueberry and pecan and cheese on crackers. Unlike commercial brands of honey, this one is mildly sweet with a creamy and smooth mouthfeel. It also served as a great pairing with the crackers. As the seasons change, so does the honey and the type of pairing served here.

Tea lovers, pin this café to your list of places to visit in Seoul.

H Coffee Roasters, Seochon (에이치커피 로스터스 서촌점)

Established in 2014, H Coffee Roasters has opened their 2^nd outlet in Seoul in February this year in the peaceful and charming neighbourhood of Seochon, in addition to their flagship in Seongsu.

Staying in theme with the surrounding architectural landscape, the café is situated in a hanok house, with an interesting harmony of traditional elements (such as exposed wooden beams) and modern furnishings. I loved that the café is situated in a quiet, hidden corner off the main road in Seochon – I benefited from an undisturbed weekday morning having the entire space to myself.

The menu is simple and divided into Black, White and Non-Coffee options. There may also be special drinks on a seasonal basis. I ordered the Oat Latte (KRW5500, SGD5.50) and found out that Oatside has also become a popular oat milk brand in Korea alongside Oatly.

The espresso I had was pulled from their Winter blend with a mix of beans from Ethiopia, Colombia and Brazil, and with tasting notes of Strawberry, Raspberry, Sugar Cane and Creamy. It was a very light roast, much to my preference, and the texture was indeed creamy and smooth. This was easily one of my favourite cups of caffeine I’ve had.

As a pairing to my drink, I had the Banana Bread (KRW6000, SGD6.06) which came with a dollop of cream. Thankfully, it was still sufficiently moist and soft despite being reheated in their mini oven.

I recommend getting the seat by the marble counter by the window which overlooks their tiny hanok backyard, from where I snuggled in the cosiness of the space while sipping coffee and staring into space. This café is for the true coffee lovers.

Wyd Coffee Stand 와이드 커피 스탠드– Rooftop Café in Yeosu with Healing Sea View

During my Korea spring vacation, I made a detour to Yeosu, a city in way down south famous for its seafood and view of the sea. Of course, I couldn’t leave any city without at least a café trip so I picked one out of the many cafes situated on the hilly region (note that you would be ascending stairs and slopes) beside Yi Sun Shin Plaza.

At Wyd Coffee Stand, the highlight was undoubtedly the unobstructed, healing view of the sea and Dolsan bridge. If you would like to see the sunset, come in the evening. The café had 3 levels, and the rooftop open air terrace seats were definitely the best viewing spots for that.

Since we were there on a cloudless, sunny and relatively warm spring day, we opted for the indoor seats which still gave us a good view thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. There was also a large communal table strictly for groups of more than 4. The interior seemed to be influenced by the modern mid-century theme with a clean white tone and look.

The drinks menu was extensive with both coffee (espresso based and hand drip) and non-caffeinated options. I got the Flat White (KRW6000, SGD6) which was disappointingly bitter – I had heard that the coffee here was decently good. My friend made the better choice of ordering the Grape Ade (KRW7000, SGD7) which was sweet and refreshing in the heat.

There were a variety of desserts displayed on a table opposite the coffee bar, and we couldn’t help but notice that some customers were having bagels which were not being displayed. Upon asking, it turned out that the café owners allowed patrons to takeaway bagels from a bagel shop across the street and have them here. (However, note that there is a policy of minimum 1 drink per person).

Hopping across the road to Birthday Bagel, we found ourselves in a quaint and charming bagel and natural wine shop – never thought that this combination would work. We brought the Chocolate Salt Butter Bagel (KRW4500, SGD4.50) and Apricot Cream Cheese Bagel (KRW4100, SGD4.10) in paper bags back to the café where the staff plated them for us. I personally preferred the latter as the apricot and cream cheese combination was lighter on the palate. The chocolate bagel was drier and lacked a good filling.

Nearby, there were many other cafes, gift shops and a mural village which I recommend checking out.
