Nestled along the quaint streets of Telok Ayer, the unassuming Magal Korean BBQ has built up quite a reputation for its authentic Korean fare and irresistible marinated meats perfect for the barbecue. But this should not come at a surprise - this cosy establishment is but one of more than 400 outlets worldwide.

Tuck into some traditional Korean favourites such as the Bibimbap, Wang Galbitang, a delicious back rib beef stew, or the signature Galmaegi, where tender pork, surrounded by an egg crust, is cooked on a special grill. Here with company? The Teugsu Budae Jjigae, a hearty kimchi stew topped with generous portions of sausage, ramen, beef bulgogi, tofu, and many other toppings, is a satisfying crowd pleaser that’s perfect for sharing, especially on a rainy day. But of course, the spotlight’s on the barbecue and nothing beats the Signature Combo featuring boneless short ribs, marinated short ribs, pork belly, sliced brisket coated with mouthwatering spices and sauces that will have you coming back for more. Don’t forget to order some sides to complement your meal; our favourites include the Chicken Feet Roast and the Grilled Prawns with Salt.

Work around the area? Magal also has some irresistible lunch specials and cold noodles sure sounds like an excellent idea when it’s 30 degrees outside! (Sep 2018)
