This Korean Army stew from Seoul Yummy is a must-try!
 
Singapore is a food paradise. With the rise of K-pop and K-drama over the past few years, we see more delicious Korean restaurants popping up on our shores. While it’s best to try the local food at its home country, sometimes you just don’t have the luxury to do so. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what you should order from these 11 Korean restaurants for a taste of Seoul. 
 

1. 9PM Kkochi

Bite into their freshly grilled Pork or Beef Belly Zig Zag Skewers that have been drenched in their 9PM version of the classic Korean sweet honey soya sauce.
