The nearest MRT station is Chinatown station. The shop is actually located along the row of shop houses, opposite of Chinatown point.
This is my second visit to Togi (with a friend of mine). It is sort of like the 'authentic' Korean restaurant in Singapore. I went there a couple years back and my family and I were served by only native Koreans. This time round, they hired other helpers from different country like China and Philippine.
Anyway, back to the food.
Rice juice - $4.50
Interesting drink in the menu. I was really curious how they managed to squeeze the juice out of rice grains. (Do rice even have juice???)
Case closed: It just taste like barley drink with rice grains at the bottom that have the texture like oat brans, so it is not really juice after all.
6 side dishes (Banchan) is being served to our table. The side dishes are refillable but we didn't refill them. (Too full!)
I ordered beef Bibimbap (비빔밥) -$11 This is piping hot! See the steam there! Some of the ingredients in there: mushrooms, korean beansprouts, seaweed, lettuce, black fungus, carrots and egg yolk.
After mixing it with chilli paste (Gochujang) in the sizzling bowl. I love the different texture of soft fungus, crunchy carrots and beansprouts. I can't really explain the taste but Gochujang is made of red chili, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans and salt.
My friend said the paste tasted different from the one she had in korean and the rice grains are thinner. (korean rice have bigger and thicker grain size) Nonetheless, it is very delicious!
Seafood kimchi pancake, small - $12
At the first glance, it kinda looks like Otah. Haha. Anyway, the kimchi pancake is soft and taste just like pancakes but with slight hint of kimchi! There aren't much seafood. Just very small pieces here and there.
Rating 3.9/5
Togi is a nice and cosy place to hang out with friends. The service is great but at the end of the meal, the waitress seems to rush us a little bit so we can't really sit around to chat. (as there is a queue) I find it a little pricey though, considering the simple and cheap ingredients used.
It is a pretty good dining experience though. Togi is quite a famous Korean restaurant in Singapore so if you like to try Korean cuisine, you can check it out.
