We Tried Dak Galbi in this Korean Restaurant in Singapore

It was nearly a month ago when my husband and I traveled to Singapore to celebrate our anniversary and I’m still wishing we could have spent more time there.
I have to admit, Singapore is one of the most interesting places we’ve ever been in our lives, and for a 5-day stay, I felt like we barely scratched the surface of this country. Sadly, our vacation leaves were limited and so five days was all we could manage. So, being the OC travel planner that I am, I made sure that everything was articulately planned so we wouldn’t waste any of our precious time to discover the country’s captivating beauty.
As you may have already heard, Singapore is the world’s most expensive city to live in, leading the Economist Intelligence Unit’s list for the fifth year in a row. Accommodations are pricier than other Southeast Asian destinations and cab fares can be more expensive than a plane ticket.
But, surprisingly, food is remarkably cheap - and we knew it because our S$10 went a long way when we tried out a variety of food options from the many food stalls and hawker centers in the city. We also learned that it’s the only place in the world where you can buy a Michelin-starred meal for S$2.
However, we weren’t after the award-winning meal in the city, but the famous restaurant serving trendy and authentic Korean cuisine in Singapore, Chi-Bing Restaurant & Cafe.
The restaurant is just less than 5 km away from the budget hotel we’re staying in, and we planned to have dinner there the day after we arrive. So, on our second night, after spending the day visiting Singapore’s most famous destinations, we hopped again on a train - which, by the way, was a convenient, cost-effective and relatively fast way to tour around the city - and headed to The Star Vista Mall where Chi-Bing restaurant is located.
I love a classic bibimbap (rice dish) and a serving of bingsu (shaved ice dessert), but, nothing beats my obsession for a decent Korean barbeque. However, for that night, I was quite intrigued with the restaurant’s specialty - dak galbi or spicy stir-fried chicken. A quick research on the Internet and I learned that the dak galbi in this Singapore restaurant is one of the most authentic you’ll ever taste.
So, I’ve decided that it’s dak galbi for that night. We had the Chi-Bing Set Menu B, consisting of hot dak galbi, Injeolmi (rice cake) bingsu and kimchi pancake. The entire meal was good for 3-4 persons, and it set us back for S$69.70. It may seem pricey at first, but for the generous servings and delicious entries, we knew it’s affordable for all it’s worth.
Aside from the a la carte and set meals, this dak galbi and bingsu-serving restaurant in Singapore, also offers eat-all-you-can-eat Korean barbeque buffet for as low as S$22. It consists of unlimited pork belly barbeque with soybean stew, steamed egg and steamed rice. There’s also an additional menu where you can order side dishes like lettuce, king oyster mushroom and more.
As Chi-Bing is located inside a mall, it’s a convenient place for families and friends to enjoy and catch up - a good place to chill and satisfy your Korean cuisine craving in Singapore!

Get the most stylish and reliable eyeglasses from this optical store

I am one of those person who can’t stand to where contact lenses. So when I suddenly felt issues with my eyes I didn’t think twice to get prescription sunglasses and eyeglasses to make sure that I will not be vision impaired. Getting two separate glasses works better for me because I have the option for whatever occasion. So, when it’s time for me to get one, I immediately searched for the best spectacle shop in Singapore that has a great selection of lenses and frames. Let’s admit it, wearing eyeglasses is not just a necessity but it’s a fashion too. Of course, it’s still my priority to check the quality of the products.
