Insadong Korea Town - Resorts World Sentosa

ABBEY: Wilma is craving for kimchi so we decided to eat at Insadong Koreatown at Sentosa. The Koreatown food place is a mix of Korea-Chinese/Western. You will be the one to put your order on the machine so make sure to check the items you want listed in the wall nearby to avoid holding up the queue for too long. 

I got pork belly kimchi stew which comes with a bowl of rice and side dishes (anchovies, radish, and kimchi). I like the taste of the stew. It is not that spicy and really enjoyed the flavor along slices of pork belly, kimchi and soft tofu. 

The meal alone costs SGD12. And there’s our fix for Korean food.

Pork Belly Kimchi Stew

WILL: As you can see on our blog posts, we rarely go out to roam around Singapore and dine-out. We are pretty busy with many things. Haha! But when I saw that there a Sand Sculptures in Sentosa, we immediately make a schedule for it. 

Of course, every after many steps we've made, we need to re-fuel our stomach. Beside the Malaysian Food Street is the Insadong Korea Town. Aha! New variation for you to choose if you will visit Universal Studios Singapore. 

There is a kiosk for you to order your food. I went for Kimchi Fried Rice with Pork. OhhhMG! Cravings for spicy food...satisfied!!! The spiciness and sourness of kimchi is inevitably loveable. Yummmy! 

Their place? The interior feels like you were transported to Korea in an instant. 

Truly recommended!!!
