PATBINGSOO KOREAN DINING HOUSE
Two years after launching Korean barbecue restaurant Seorae at Plaza Singapura, the same team has opened the new Patbingsoo Korean Dining House in the same mall.
The casual 52-seat eatery's signature item is its Rolling Cheese Pork Ribs ($38.90, above), which includes thick pork ribs and a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheese served in a Korean cast iron pan.
The cheese is melted until it has a stringy texture and then rolled around the individual pork ribs. The dish is served with fries, sweet corn in cream and chopped pineapple.
Other highlights include Dynamic Spam ($11.90), in which spam is covered in gochujang and mayonnaise and lightly torched, then topped with chopped onions and served with a side of Korean rice balls; Fried Samgyeopsal ($6.90) or deep-fried pork belly, served with honey mustard sauce; and House Special Ramyeon ($11.90).
Fans of Seorae will be familiar with the picture-perfect Bibim Patbingsoo ($11.90); Apgujeong Bingsoo ($13.90), with cheese cake, cheese wafers and vanilla ice cream; and Sinsa Patbingsoo ($14.90), which includes cornflakes and vanilla ice cream.
