Just Like It! @Resorts World Sentosa, RWS

-- CLOSED --

We walked past this restaurant but never really looked into the interior. The exterior looked quite sophisticated. Seemed like those nitrogen-gas kinds of labs with all that science formula doodles on the shop front, or perhaps because all that Universal Studio Hollywood effects were getting into our head.

Iced water in beakers!

Waffles with One Flavour of Ice Cream (2 scoops)  ($25.90) Choice of Banana, Strawberry, Kiwi
Crepes with One Flavour of Ice Cream (2 scoops) ($17.90)
When a group of us walked in, there was only one couple. Throughout our stay on a Sunday late-noon, there was only another two or three couples. The reason could be due to its pricing, which we were so glad we paid most of it using our Groupon vouchers.
The menu is a disaster- shabby A4 clear sheets folder with Powerpoint layout. Those that were unavailable were crossed out in a haphazard way. And there were a lot of cross-outs.
Nonetheless, craving for something to cool down from our trip to Trick Eye Museum, we ordered Waffles with One Flavour of Ice Cream (2 scoops) for $25.90. The portion was big, but it's definitely a tourist-destination kind of price. We had Popcorn Ice Cream with Bananas for this. 
Also, for our Crepes with One Flavour of Ice Cream (2 scoops) at $17.90, we took their Berries Berries ice cream and Strawberries. Also, it's pretty normal.
Drinks to share, we got a bottle of Green Tea & Pomegranate Juice ($7.90), and one of us had the Caramel Latte ($7.90). 
There's nothing much to rave about. The prices are nothing I would pay for such a quality and for an after-meal dessert.

Chef's Noodle- Affordable Korean Food in Harbourfront Area

"Chef’s Noodle is not another made-in-Singapore ‘Korean-styled’ brand. The franchisor is from South Korea and the menu items are individually and personally ‘crafted’ by a South Korea’s Chef Personality – Chef Choi. It smacks of conventional street fare, alongside with Korean traditions, but tweaked it with a contemporary twist.

What used to be Breeks at Harbourfront Centre just outside of Cold Storage is now Chef's Noodle. Both Breeks and Chef's Noddle are under Zingrill Holdings though. " - Chef's Noodle, About Us

This place is a good option if you are bored of the common restaurants, like Sushi Tei and Swensens, at Vivocity or felt Jamie's Italian is out of your budget. 

The Place!

Service

The servers all serve with a smile, menu and bill delivery are prompt.

Food

We ordered a noodle dish, and a rice-based dish, and sushi (in a Korean restaurant? Hmmm) as we wanted some showmanship...

Chef's Guksoo ($13.90)

Chef's Guksoo ($13.90)

Their signature noodle dish- Soft textured noodles in concentrated, savoury- sweet flavoured beef broth (Chef’s Guksoo) that comes with a tinge of slight peppery aftertaste. To add depth to the broth, topped with a slowly stewed Pork Bulgogi, and a healthy dose of fresh vegetable garnishes.

I thought I would be getting ramen kind of salty soups, but I was wrong! Its soup was tasty, not the salty kind, a very home-cooked feel. The whole bowl of soup was eventually finished!

The side dishes are mix of ups and downs. There is the well-marinated beef bulgogi, and there is a Japanese tamago imprinted with Korean words. There is the kimchi and tau geh, and the noodles were springy.

Daehan Deopbap ($14.90)

Signature korean-styled rice tub- A wholesome work of healthy ingredients piled and rounded up steam white rice at the bottom. From flavourful and sweet sautéed Bulgogi Beef; crisply battered stuffed ‘Gochu’; a medley of healthy veggie of silver sprouts, marinated chives, and tangy kimchi pickle; to our signature egg roll, and a delectably delicious seafood ‘Wanja’ (meat patty in Korean).

You can choose to eat the myraid of side dishes individually, or mix them together like bimibab. I tried the former, but eventually mixed everything up. The rice portion is enough to feed two persons, it is indeed a tub-ful of rice, fragrant rice! The side dishes, like above, includes tau gey, tamago and beef bulgogi. Here, there is a deep-fried filled green chilli (think of those in yong tau foo), deep fried processed crabstick, etc.

The soup that accompanies it is very tasty. Peppery yet not too spicy, a perfect accompaniment to the dried main. It is refillable!

Order this dish if you want a taste of everything!

Sparkling Fire Sushi ($6.90)

Tableside showmanship!

Sushi Chef's Bulchobap 

Sparkling Fire Sushi ($6.90)

Sushi rice ball, topped with a slice of marbled Wagyu Beef, glazed with a coat of sweetened Bulchobap sauce and flambe over a torch of fire to grill the meat. A spectator sight, with comfort and gourmet all in one.

Yes, it indeed caught many diners' attention when the server pushed the cart over to our table and started to flame our wagyu beef. Watching the raw beef curdle up under the flame, and eventually putting it into my mouth, tasting the smoky after taste is indeed an experience worth the value for only $6.90.

We saw many people ordering their interesting mocktails as well, would be good to try them out!
