Kelim Dakdoritang Opens New Outlet At Tiong Bahru With Famous Spicy Garlic Chicken Stew

It seems that their signature dish, dakdoritang, has been well-received here, since they’ve just threw open its doors a second outlet in Tiong Bahru . Kelim Dakdoritang Review: Popular Korean Chain Opens In Serangoon With Spicy Braised Chicken And More For the uninitiated, dakdoritang is a spicy chicken stew that sees chicken and potatoes braised in a mildly spicy red sauce. Kelim Dakdoritang’s rendition, that said, adds rice cakes and a mountain of minced garlic to the already flavourful broth.

While a pot of dakdoritang at the previous outlet is meant for two or more people, the Tiong Bahru outlet has the Baby Dakdoritang ($15.90++) , which is suitable for one. This set dish as well comes with rice and a canned drink Aside from the spicy chicken stew, the restaurant also offers a range of moreish sides.

Our favourite was the Chicken Cartilage with Sweet Spicy Sauce ($19.90++) , which was delicious because of the soft crunch of the cartilage, as well as its sweet and mildly piquant sauce. The Haemul Pajeon ($24.90++) , AKA seafood scallion pancake, is a popular savoury side dish that you can consider—but be warned, it can be a bit oily. Furthermore, Kelim Dakdoritang now offers K-BBQ specialities such as the Samgyeopsal-gui ($29.90++) , AKA grilled pork belly with stir-fried kimchi.

You can certainly have a feast of more than just spicy chicken stew here at this new outlet. Set in a 60-seater establishment in the historical Tiong Bahru district, you’ll be able to reach this Kelim Dakdoritang outlet after an 11-minute walk from Outram Park MRT Station .
