Hihi! Life's been great recently! How are you all doing?? Have been doing loads of catch-ups and meetings with old friends! Had one recently a Bibigo. Being a Korean fanatic, I know that this place was famous for having stars like Rain and CL visiting. Even the gangnam style PSY is endorsing for them! As a passionately curious Korean food lover, I just had to check this place out!



Bibigo is kinda different from your everyday Korean restaurants for they have decided to add "healthy" into their marketing strategies. I have to say, it's working well, who eats bland and tasteless food when Bibigo offers you tasty and healthy dishes? But personally, it's mostly healthy not entirely, but mostly. 

So we had a Spicy Pork Tofu Stew ($9.90), a Chicken Kimchi Fried Rice ($9.90), a Hot Stone Bulgogi ($9.90) and 2 sides: Japchae ($5.90) and Pajeon ($5.90). The total bill came off to a total of $43.90. The menu is included as always^^


 (We only ordered from this menu as its prices are naturally friendlier)







Overall Advantages:

  • I love how the restaurant was spacious enough to have your own privacy and their food presentations looked rather great!
  • The Hot Stone Bulgogi was filled with all sorts of mushrooms, loads of well marinated beef and a good amount of glass noodles. It was certainly very appetizing for us. The meat lovers should really give this a go!
  • Next up would be the Chicken Kimchi Fried Rice that one of my friends was utterly anticipating. She kept telling me how good it was and I wasn't disappointed. They used old kimchi and hence there is this sour-ish taste that wouldn't have you cringing at it's first taste. It is in fact rather flavorful. It came with a sunny side up; runny yolk! Awesome!
  • The Pajeon was not bad. It was crunchy and goes well with the sauce.
  • The Japchae was good,there was minced meat and mushrooms! I literally turn into fungi after eating that meal, but it's good for your body! Another note on the Japchae would be the lesser amount of sesame oil used, but the taste is still there!

Overall Disadvantages:
  • Spicy Pork Tofu Stew was not fantastic. There's this odd taste to it that didn't settle well with me. Also, it had this layer of oil that had me eyeballing the word "healthy" in their marketing strategies. Not something that I will order again.
  • The appetizers while palatable were kinda expensive in my opinion. You should see the size on the Pajeon; T-I-N-Y. I know how appetizers are supposed to be small but nah ah this one does not justify the $5.90.

Note:
  • GST and Service Charges apply.
  • If you hold a POSB Everyday card, you get a 10% off your A la Carte orders. (And hence the slightly lower amount for our total bill)
Overall, I would highly recommend you peeps to try out Bibigo's Chicken Kimchi Fried Rice and Hot Stone Bulgogi! Those are the ones that will keep me going back for moooooore!!!! Have you been to Bibigo before? You can always share with us your experience! We're always happy to hear from you all! We would love to have recommendations from you peeps too!!! Let us know!
