Gelato First, Thai Feast Later: My Orchard Road Food Stop

Friday The 13th at Orchard My husband and I were in the Orchard area for The Friends Experience at the Fever Exhibition Hall, and instead of eating first, we decided to enjoy the experience before thinking about food. After the exhibition, the warm evening left us a little thirsty, so we looked for something refreshing nearby. That’s when we spotted Gelatissimo , a small kiosk just outside Shaw House. We grabbed a couple of scoops of gelato and enjoyed them at the al-fresco seating while people-watching along the always lively Orchard Road. After that, we took a leisure walk through ION Orchard before making our way to Far East Plaza, where we ended the evening with a comforting Thai dinner at Nana Original Thai Food Restaurant in the basement. Gelatissimo outside Shaw House First Stop: Gelatissimo Our first food stop was at Gelatissimo, where we decided to share two scoops of gelato as a refreshing treat after the exhibition. We picked a mix of Dragonfruit Sorbet and Raspberry Gelat...

Food Review | BORNGA, Original Korean Taste

There are many Korean restaurants in Singapore serving identical food like Korean BBQ, Army Stew, Bulgogi, Fried Chicken and so on. How to choose? Based on reviews? Every individual has their own taste preference. So may not be accurate. Based on branding? Even worse. I have come across those big names and long queues but food not really fantastic. So what to do? Go on your own and try. Not nice, treat it as money throw into the water and never come back. 

Came across BORNGA few years back. Didn't give it a try until now. Finally.


Chef's Recommendation: Born-Ga Bulgogi


A Korean dish consists of marinated beef, different types of mushrooms, vegetables, Korean glass noodles that is cooked over a perforated dome griddles. It is similar to Thai Mookata where you can have grilled food and soup in one go. Using their special sauce, the beef fillet taste succulent and chewy. Priced at $45, ideal for 2 pax.



Was told by the waitress that we do not have to do anything (judging from the pile of food on the dome griddle pan) and just let the food cook on its own. But remember to put the veggie into the soup to boil instead of grill. You won't want charred veggie. I probably think this is the difference with Thai Mookata.



The soup base appears light but sweet and tasty. It gives you the beefy taste and you can find chopped garlic in it too. I believe that the oily traces are from the beef put to boil for hours. Correct me if I'm wrong.  Definitely suits heavy taste buds. 



So the standard side dishes. Refillable. It doesn't really thrills me this time round as we are not having BBQ. I enjoy having fresh vegetables to wrap with my BBQ meat along with these sides. It makes every bite crunchy and palatable. 

So Bornga is your another choice for Korean BBQ or Bulgogi. The price range is affordable, especially when you are sharing with your makan buddy. Share the fats too. Don't mind.
