Bibigo Singapore

How are you doing guys :) It has been quite awhile but today , i'm going to review on Bibigo , a restaurant that provides authentic korean cuisine ^^ They have 3 outlets in Singapore , I patronized the one at Raffles City Shopping Centre.

Atmosphere
Bibigo is situated at the basement of Raffles City Shopping Centre , among the other restaurants. It's rather peaceful in the restaurant itself , a rather nice place to catch up with some friends over a meal :)

Food
My friends and I each ordered a different dish so that I would be able to review more dishes.

Spicy Soft Tofu Stew ( Seafood ) 

Review : For spice lovers , you will love this dish as their soup is rather spicy , not just on the mild level. The seafood was also fresh and it tasted fantastic. Of course , you have the option of having pork/seafood. Besides kimchi , sides served was very different , we couldn't put to taste what it really was. You also have the choice of rice served , white/black/barley&white/white&white. Playing safe , my friend chose the white.

Hot Stone Bibimbap 

Review : This dish is probably super duper tasty because my friend licked the bowl clean! It's kinda similar to claypot rice in some sense as the rice was in a hot stone so rice placed at the bottom gets a little burnt. But that is what makes it smells and taste good :) There's also flexibility in choosing the rice , sauce and toppings to come with! Hence , this bibimbap is in a "made your own way" mode! :) 

Bibimbap ( Vegetarian version ) 

Review : Some of you may be wondering , why did I order something vegetarian. I know that there has been growth in vegetarian consumers out there so I wanted to try and see if Bibigo has something for the vegetarian people. Initially I didn't see any on the menu so I asked the staff. The lady told me bibimbap was the only dish a vegetarian can consume. So I chose it and she stated that I can choose the rice while everything else will be specially done by the chef. I went with barley&white rice and wow , barley rice tasted wonderful! As for toppings , the chef gave me radish , broccoli , mushrooms , beansprouts , tofu and 2 kinds of vegetables I haven't came across. Surprisingly , it didn't taste awful!Tasteless? Not at all! With the sauce mixed in , everything tasted WONDERFUL! Try it!

3 outlets :

-Raffles City Shopping Centre

-Marina Bay Financial Centre

-Nex Shopping Mall

Menu :

I attached the menu brochure that I saw at the counter while making payment , check it out! 

Conclusion : I'm really satisfied with the food served , definitely enjoyed my lunch there. The service staff was also friendly and had the patience to wait by the table for us to make a decision on toppings etc. In addition , they had card promotions ongoing so your spending decreased by quite a bit! I will definitely patronize again someday. :)

K Box Karaoke @ Cineleisure , Singapore.

Good Afternoon everyone! :) It has been long since I updated. So! Today , I'll be doing a review on the K Box Karaoke I went with my cousins recently :)

K Box Karaoke is located at Cineleisure's Level 8. You have to take the lift up and went you reached , this is what you see :)

The Place

Their front desk.

The buffet area. 

A rather small room for 5 of us.

My cousins and I opted for the lunch buffet and we reached quite early so there wasn't any crowd yet :) I would comment that the buffet area was rather spacious. The only negative comment that I have will be about their Karaoke Room. It's rather small and squeezy as the tables and system stand could not be shifted so we had difficulty moving in and out , since everyone seated rather close to one another.

The Food

Check out what they offered for lunch buffet! :) 

P.S. Note the rating out of 10 points I gave for each dishes that I tried. 

Shrimp Dumpling and Siew Mai. 6/10.

Review > I would very much prefer eating them at a Dim Sum place.

Deep Fried Dumpling with Mayonnaise. 7/10.

Review > Surprisingly , this dish was not that bad. My cousin's fav!

Sweet Sauce Fish with Pineapple Slice. 5/10

Review > I didn't really like this cause the chicken was kinda hard to chew on.

Fried Fish. (MY FAVOURITE!) 9/10

Review > MY FAVOURITE! The fish was awesome , especially when i dip it in the tar tar sauce that was served at the salad station. Yummyy!!

Curry Vegetables. 3/10

Review > I was so "turned-off" by this dish cause it didn't looked appetising at all! It looked like they dumped all the spared vegetables together and added curry to it only!

Pan-fry tofu with mushrooms , carrots , dong fen. 5/10.

Review > This tou-fu dish was kinda too light to my liking. It was a little too tasteless for me.

Fried Noodles. 6/10.

Review > The noodles was okay when I took the first few mouth. But gradually , I find it too oily to be consumed. 

Fried Rice with prawns and squid. 6/10.

Review > The fried rice was the very first dish I tried. It tasted nicer than the noodles and it was not that oily too.

Vegetables. 4/10.

Review > Initially I thought this vegetables was kinda healthy till I spotted the oil that they were laying on. It was too oily. I didn't like how it taste on my first bite so I didn't finish what I took.

Mini Cakes with cold sides - cuttlefish , crabmeats. 8/10.

Review > The mini cakes that they served was really nice. Especially the fruit flavoured cake. My cousin and I took it again and again. They also loved the cold side dish that this buffet had , especially the crab-meat dish. They had 2-3 servings.

The salad station. 6/10.

Review > Despite not having much vegetables option , it is rather thoughtful of them to have this salad station that caters to people who has the habit of eating salads during a buffet.

Fruits! No rating for this.

Review > The sad thing about the fruits they offered was that there isn't any variety. They had only watermelons on that day :( I was looking forward to a wider variety of fruits. 

Other than the food I listed above , 2 kinds of soup was also available that day. With one having tons of oil bubbles floating on it. They also provide a porridge pot with 4 sides such as salted egg , vegetables and etc to choose from.  

In addition , they have a coffee machine that serves Latte , Mocha , Coffee and etc. They also had an ice-cream station. But the only flavours they had on the day I went was Vanilla , Rasberry , Yam , Corn , Strawberry. They didn't have any plain water machine though , so my cousins had to dispense the hot water from the coffee machine before adding ice to it. :( They could have been more thoughtful about this.

My Review: Although the food they offered during the lunch buffet was rather limited and common , I kind of expected it. Since I only paid SGD$12-$14 for a 3-hours session. So I have no complains about that . But the only thing was the quality of the food could have been better and the room's air-con should be improved. It was colder outside of my KBOX room rather than inside. Even so , I would RECOMMEND people whom loves to sing to go give it a try :) You can sing while eating , what an enjoyment! Then again , perhaps you might want to go during the Dinner Buffet as my cousin told me they would have a wider variety of food served. Which makes a lot of sense since most buffets are like this. :)
