Best Korean Restaurant ? Is it worth it? 🤨😱🤤
📍Address: 38 Maxwell Rd, #01 -05, Singapore 069116
✧ we travelled to HwangSil Korean Chinese Restaurant which is a 5 minutes walking distance from Maxwell MRT station so it was easily accessible🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
🍽️ what we ordered:
1. jjajangmyeon ($12)
✧ the noodles were cooked to perfection, paired with a savoury and flavourful blackbean sauce with ingredients like braised pork and onions! this dish was very similar or maybe even better to what i had in korea and really brought me back:( a solid 9/10 👍🏻
2 jjamppong ($15)
✧ this dish was my favourite dish of the night! it is so much better to what i had in korea!! the soup was filled with spice but not overwhelming! it was so good im drooling talking abt it rn…. it had some seafood inside as well! like sotong and clams! for the price, it is definitely worth it ‼️‼️‼️ a 9.8/10 for me 😍😍
3. kimchi pancake ($25)
✧ this wasn’t spectacular from what i’ve had in the past, but it did taste good! for the price, this wasn’t very worth it and i wouldn’t suggest you getting it! however, if you are a kimchi pancake fan, this may be up your alley! it had sotong, kimchi and spring onions! a 7.8/10 ! 🤣🤣🤣
4. tangsuyuk ($28)
✧ i kid you not, this is one of the best tangsuyuk i’ve had in my life! the fried batter was chewing and crunchy at the same time, almost like a deep fried mochi! and the pork is soft and flavourful! but the SAUCE 😍😍😍 the sauce was savoury and sweet which balanced the pork well!! i wanted to dabao home… 🤸🏻♂️🤸🏻♂️🤸🏻♂️ this dish is a must try! a 9.5/10 ❤️
let me know what y’all think‼️ #MyLemon8Diary #Lemon8SG #lemon8recommendations #OnlyInSG #KoreanFood #wheretoeatsg #wheretoeat
If you're exploring Korean cuisine around Singapore, HwangSil offers a convenient location just a short walk from Maxwell MRT which makes it easy for a casual meal or a food adventure with friends. From my experience, while the kimchi pancake didn't quite live up to other dishes, their black bean noodles and jjamppong soup truly capture authentic flavors reminiscent of Korea. One tip I'd share is to try the tangsuyuk—its unique fried batter texture and well-balanced sauce really elevate this classic dish, and it's a must-try if you want a memorable Korean-Chinese fusion experience. Moreover, the restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere that complements the hearty meals, making it perfect for an intimate dinner or casual lunch. For seafood lovers, the addition of squid (sotong) and clams in the jjamppong was a delightful touch that added freshness and texture. For anyone curious about traditional Korean-Chinese dishes in Singapore, this spot is definitely worth checking out beyond the usual favorites. Also, as some dishes are pricier, prioritizing the jjajangmyeon, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk dishes can give you the best value and flavor experience here.
I love this restaurant. Beef Tangsuyuk 소고기 탕수육 of Hwangsil is the best in SG.❤️
