The Rundown
Don’t be quick to write off Two Hana as yet another gimmicky Korean fusion cafe. The Korean-Western dishes at this cafe by the Seoul Garden group are actually really good, creative and great value for money. It’s the perfect chance to pop by the newly reopened Century Square for a look-see, and a yummy meal after.
The Vibe
Decked out in a colour scheme of white, pink, forest green and navy blue, and boasting clean lines and wooden chairs, Two Hana’s pretty interiors can easily pass off as the cafe set for a Korean television series. Its sweet vibes make it ideal for girly hangouts amidst tasty nosh.
What’s Good
There’s plenty on the menu to choose from — we’d gladly pop by for a coffee (made from beans roasted by Allpress Espresso) and snack, but if you’re planning to visit for a full meal, it’s best to gather the gang, as most dishes are made for sharing.
Get appetites going with the Two Hana Drumlets ($9 for two pieces each of the sweeter Honey Butter Drumlets and the spicy Yang Nyeom Drumlets). The contrast of flavours really whets the palate, and it’s also good if your group of friends can never decide between sweet or spicy wings! Pair the wings with the Kimchi Mac & Cheese Bites ($9 for five pieces) — expect creamy pasta, enlivened with a kick from the kimchi, encased in a crunchy coating.
For mains, we really enjoyed the Striploin Bap ($13), a rice bowl topped with a tender slab of well seasoned, char-grilled beef and bibimbap inspired toppings include bean sprouts and kimchi, along with a nicely oozy egg. On colder days, the Korean Seafood Cioppino ($13) is a warming seafood stew that has a lot more body and flavour than most seafood broths. The seafood is decently fresh too. Opt to either have tofu added to the stew, or to enjoy it with a soft roll on the side. To end the meal, the Hojicha Pudding ($5) is very fragrant and not too sweet, with a texture akin to very thick whipped cream. Alternatively, sip on the Melon Melona Float ($7), which combines Calpis, soda and a stick of Korea’s famous melon-flavoured Melona popsicle.
