Dinner @ Togi Korean Restaurant

, , No Comments
It was actually my second visit to this Korean Restaurant after like.. 4 years ago?!! Oh my god, come to think about it, it was really long between this visit from the last one.

Anyway, I came with my family again and this time round I noticed quite some changes going on like the staffing, food and some minor interior renovations. 

Mum and Brother not happy as Food took quite long to be served. Hahaha................

Once a upon a time, which was 4 years ago, the eatery was solely managed by the father-son partnership and maybe one or two more "suspected" to be the family members who don't speak English and Chinese but Korean and some simple "sign" languages involved.  As their restaurant gotten more popular, quite a few other nationalities of servers and kitchen helpers were hired. Overall, the staffs are quite friendly and service orientated. 

Of which, one of the kitchen helper, a true blue Singaporean, was patiently explaining the menu to the table next to mine.However, there was 1 black sheep among these friendly and hardworking servers. I was given cold shoulders and ill recommendations by one of the Filipino server. Anyway, I shall not spoil my image of Togi because of this.   



OO.. the side dishes were finally here!! All were extremely well done especially the long beans were not over stir fried and the fishcake was chewy, well marinated without the sweet sauce overpowering.  


The pork stew with kimchi soup was served first on the stove. There were tofu, red chili, green chili and tons of chili powder in the soup as well as huge pieces of fatty pork as well as a huge flower of kimchi which was cut by server into pieces the moment soup was served. It was very very spicy to my liking, but I don't blame anyone except the server for he did not tell us it was this spicy till I lost all my 5 senses or maybe the 6th sense too? 


 The rice cake was well done mixed with the fish cake, green veggies and shreds of Korean seaweeds. The saltiness of the seaweeds neutralized the sweet sauce, forming a unique tasty combination where you won't get sick of the dish! 


The pancake was ordered by my younger brother which I should praise him for the good choice he had made. It was non oily and both sides of pancake were quite crispy with the authentic Korea taste. 


Ohh. last but no least. did I not mentioned that the father-son occasionally still help out with the ordering and serving of food. The father is extremely helpful,like trying to give some advice to us on the food, e.g add what sauce to the noodle to improve the taste or whether I was fine when I accidentally knocked on the table before leaving the restaurant   

The over all experience was good especially the food and the family feel environment..which I don't think it will take me another 4 years to return back!!
