i was so disappointed because the food quality here is rather poor. the prawns werent the freshest and the other dishes were underwhelmed (e.g. some meat dishes coated with a lot of flour) - i could find similar quality of food at a lower price elsewhere. not to mention, they didnt clearly state that it was two mini abalone (slightly smaller than the size of 1 dollar coin) for the exclusive dish served in the lunch buffet (which they stated in menu as abalone soup). the service was quite bad too - the staff werent attentive. i would not come back again. although its one for one, it is still not worth the money.

If Korean and Mexican food had a lovechild, this hole-in-the-wall shop at the basement of Marina Bay Financial Centre (sandwiched between Aloha Poke and Four Seasons Gourmet Market) would be it. Ssäm (meaning 'wrapped' in Korean) crafts protein-packed bowls that will keep you fuelled throughout the day. Order the cilantro lime rice and top it with the unbelievably tasty 40-hour Korean BBQ marinated beef short ribs ($9). Unless you opt out, the bowl is completed with sides of tangy kimchi and tomato salsa, onion lime relish, pickled cucumbers, kimchi and seaweed, and topped with sesame seeds and fried shallots. If you have change to spare, add on the Egg ($0.80) or treat yourself to a scoop of Guacamole ($2.50).
Avg price: $10 per person
