My friends and I went at around 6:30 on a Friday and we were seated immediately after arriving. We each got a supplementary knock off yakult drink and there were a bunch of the side dishes that they give at Korean restaurants. My 2 friends and I shared a hot pot and a kimchi pancake. According to the menu, the hot pot was supposed to feed 2 to 3 people, but I felt like it was definitely only enough for 2 people. Both dishes were pretty good and my friends and I were happy with the food. The total came out to be $58 SGD for the 3 of us.
Kim's Family Food is tucked in a corner near Beauty World mrt station. It is a pretty homely place with 2 units. One unit has stronger barbecue smell so you may want to choose the other unit if it has available seats. The best part about this place is the side dishes which get replenished. They include omelette, seaweed, anchovies, brinjals, bean sprouts and many more. The soup with noodles and ingredients like meat or seafood is a pretty good deal. Serving is generally big so do not go overboard with the orders. Haha.
The food here is not the absolute best, but they have a bit of everything made almost right. They have the most extensive menu I've seen so far. This evening, we ordered the soondae guk bap, dogani tang and a buchu jeon. I was tempted to order the bossam, but I'm already cooking something similar for tomorrow's dinner. Maybe the next time. Dinner starts with 12 banchans, all pretty good. I haven't seen so many banchans since I last visited a Korean restaurant in NYC. The serving staff were friendly and offered refills when they noticed an empty dish. The pancake was fried just nice, was on the thin side and slightly crunchy. They add red chilli pieces as garnish, but the flavor doesn't bleed into the pancake, so I liked it. The dogani tang came with plenty of tendon. The broth was light and very peppery. I didn't like the pepper, and will make it a point to ask for less pepper if I ever get it again. But there are other things to try. The soondae guk comes with spicy paste on the side so that you can tailor the dish to your personal preferences. I like the idea. I usually eat my soondae guk without spice. It came with plenty of scallions and a tiny pile of pepper, which made the soup overly peppery. I think this can't be helped if perilla leaves and seeds are not really available in Singapore, but it was still too much pepper. There were plenty of choice organ meat pieces like a good soondae guk, but the flavor of the soup was less rich than I would like. The soondae though was pretty surprising. Like all sausages, soondae was made with intestines once upon a time. But I've only seen the modern version with the thin synthetic casing. Not here though. The unusually skinny soondae was actually a small intestine stuffed with vermicelli. I was really curious about where they got this soondae from, but we didn't ask. I'll have to order soondae here again. Real intestine casing is much chewier than the synthetic case, and a lot more graphic to look at. I think we will be back some other time for bossam too. And maybe to buy some raw kalbi from the grocery store next door for home.
Friend brought me here and they aren't bad. The walls are quirky - filled with graffiti assuming from their patrons. The BBQ short ribs beef is good and so is their Kimchi soup. That is a must. The pancake seems to be popular too though I found it to be so-so only. Overall it was good.
