Consider your supper plans settled, because Hansik Dining is Singapore’s first 24-hour Korean restaurant that offers everything from fried chicken to gukbap (rice soup). The first of its kind in Singapore, the restaurant brings together six Korean F&B brands in a two-storey destination along Tras Street, set to open on November 11.
Among the six concepts, there are three familiar names and three more that are new to the fold. Brands like Go Gi Jip and Kko Kko Na Ra are already well-established, but there are others like Halmae Gukbab and Hanyang Bulgogi to look forward to. The former specialises in a type of Korean rice soup, and dishes out piping bowls of dwaeji (pork) gukbap ($25) simmered overnight, as well as a more uncommon dish of siraegi gukbap ($25). If the name rings a bell, it’s because siraegi or dried radish greens is the ingredient that chefs Jung Ji Sun and the Goddess of Chinese Cuisine faced off with in Netflix's Culinary Class Wars.
