Seoul Good Review: Korean Fried Chicken And Bingsu Cafe At A Container Park In Punggol

With the many different twists made to them, including kimchi mac and cheese and Thai-inspired Cha-Yen bingsu , I sometimes find myself forgetting what actual Korean food taste like. Priding themselves with food prepared without MSG and ingredients imported from Korea, this Korean eatery serves a variety of dishes such as Beef Spicy Bulgogi Fries ($7.90) and Myeongdong Chicken Balls with Rice ($9.90) .

Food at Seoul Good In the cafe’s tiny container enclosure, we were immediately surrounded by a kind of garlicky soya sauce aroma. The cafe first specialised in fried chicken wings and bingsu, and these two signature dishes were exactly what we went for. At the automated machine where we ordered our food, we were given a selection of four different styles of fried chicken – Seoul Good signature, Seoul Good Asian, Sesame Gochujiang, and Spicy Bulgogi.

Without having to wait long, we had our six pieces of Seoul Good Signature Chicken Wings . The meat was heavily coated in a thick and juicy sauce – the way I like my chicken wings done!

However, when we bit into it, we came to the similar consensus that it was underwhelming as the skin was not as crispy as we had anticipated it to be. As we were commenting about that to the manager of the cafe, we got to know that the sauce was made using just fermented bean sauce, honey, and sesame. And unlike other fried chicken wings where the sauce is coated on the skin using a brush, Seoul Good ensures the meat is thoroughly flavoured by dunking the entire wing into the sauce.

If you are looking for a cheat day to satisfy your craving for fried food, this would be the dish that would not leave you feeling sick from grease and fats like how some fried chicken wings would. For each taste, the cafe also offers a choice between a milk base ($17.90) and a yoghurt base ($18.90) .

After much deliberation, we went ahead with Oreo with ice cream milk base bingsu ($17.90) . We initially felt that the rate was steep for a dessert but when the bingsu was finally served, we were pleasantly surprised to find that we were not short-changed at all.

This one did not come with condensed milk at the side and there was no need for that. The generous portion can feed about two to three, and all components used here, such as the milk powder and even the ice-cream itself, are imported from Korea.

That would explain the surprise that we had when we tried the ice-cream. Unlike typical chocolate ice-cream, this was much smoother and richer in the chocolate taste but at the same time, not as sweet as the usual ice-cream.

Ambience at Seoul Good We visited the cafe in the middle of a weekday, where the area was relatively quiet. The verdict Overall, I was satisfied with the quality of food, service, and ambience of Seoul Good.

The food was generally reasonably priced with generous portions, and the elegant interior of the cafe was also a plus point for those looking for a spot for their Instagram feed!
