Hwang To Gol, Amara Hotel, Tanjong Pagar
This is probably the best Korean restaurant to go to, if you have some Korean guests to entertain and you want a reasonably priced Korean restaurant with good food and ambience. Remember Koreans would always appreciate a good korean meal anytime even though they are in a foreign country. So, you won't go wrong by bringing them to one when they visit Singapore.
I have been here a couple of times and each time I had the pork belly bbq and a spicy soup. I would recommend for those who like fish innards to try the spicy fish soup instead. Fish innards here means stomach and roe. It is an acquired taste I suppose but let me assure you that I was not a big fan of fishy stuff at first but this soup converted me. The innard once cooked is tender but yet retains its taste. Don't worry if you end up cooking it for too long because the texture remains quite consistent. The longer you cook, the better the soup will taste.
The other point worth mentioning is that the service is good. Staff are very attentive. I think some of them are Chinese nationalities who can speak dual language i.e. mandarin and korean (maybe some english). The restaurant has some private dining rooms as well. So, make sure you call in advance to book if that's what you need.
