Could finish the whole plate without feeling jelak which was great! Taste wise was pretty average
I always order the 𝐁𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐩 here without fail. Served in a hot stone clay pot, the rice remains piping hot and is incredibly flavorful after mixing! Plus, there’s the charred bits which I loooove 😍
Another classic dish we always go for is the 𝐊𝐢𝐦𝐜𝐡𝐢 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞! Topped with an egg, this is a great staple for when we are craving for something simple

Came across this small Korean eatery at Plaza Singapura, which offers Korean fare at reasonable prices. Their seafood pancake was surprisingly good. Much thicker than usual, but with a satisfying crisp.
Price: $8
I think japchae can be pretty hit-or-miss. Sometimes it's too dry/tasteless/hard.
Their japchae was pretty good - meatless, but tasty, silky and served piping hot. Slightly oily, but I guess that's what helped it stay so supple even towards the end of the meal!
Price: $7.80
I have eaten these since I was young, and also at roadside carts during my previous trips to Korea, so these Korean fishcakes bring back special memories. I don't think many people would like this, but I'm obsessed with these chewy fishcakes in anchovy broth.
Price: $6 for 2 pieces
I love Korean food and I've been coming to Manna Story for years now with my family. Their steamed egg and seafood pancake is to die for! This place is never really crowded and I can't understand why - hands down beats all the other chain Korean restaurants in the vicinity.
CF decided to shift the tutorial timing so that we need not spend two hours after lecture waiting for his tutorial. That also means more time for me to catch my breath before my scheduled appts😌

感恩教授把輔導課的時間提前，無須直奔家教。而是有好好吃頓午餐，休息一下做一點作業的時間。今天下課後學生奶奶拿了一盒美國買的巧克力送給我，沒想到還有禮物收很意外呢。不料，在驚喜之後聽到她分享到美國散心的原因其實是因為想要應付喪子之痛。她不斷和我分享兒子的點點滴滴，兒子是多麼多才多藝，是個優秀的律師，不過42歲正值大好年華怎麼就英年早逝了呢。我就這樣聽著她說話，原本要趕去開會的。但我覺得此時此刻這位老人家需要人傾聽，於是決定留下來和她懇談，希望盡可能鼓勵到她。我不是專業的輔導官，不完全能體會到她所經歷的喪子之痛，也沒辦法回答她為什麼兒子會這麼早就離她而去。我知道這些問題不是我能夠駕馭的，她也並沒有想要從我這裡得到答案。但若我能給予她一絲絲的陪伴與安慰也就夠了吧。她說她的心很痛，但她知道兒媳也很痛心，孫女也很可憐。所以她在努力著替她兒子照顧他們。我想這或許也是她為什麼會想和一個陌生人分享這般痛徹心扉的心事吧～
每一次的失去都有其背後的含義，願我們都能且行且珍惜💗🙏🏻

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ORDER THIS. Worst Korean food ever 😡 They wrote in the menu that it's a spicy stew made with soft beancurd, minced pork & egg. They should really change it to beancurd and egg only so that they don't mislead people! The number of minced pork I can find in this claypot is less than the number of fingers I have in one hand. Even the banmian at food court give me more minced pork than them...
It is quite a PIG deal as I did not intend to pay $10.80++ for tofu stew seriously?? It's really disappointing when I feedback this to the manager and he replied "Oh it's like this, there isn't much minced pork in the stew." I couldn't believe it. It just sounded like you wanna cheat customers with your misleading menu. Not only that, the kimchi sides they served was so bad, it's sour (with a very strong alcohol taste wts). Been here a few times and I don't know why their standard dropped so much sobs.
this came in a heaping pile!!! this was honestly affordable at its size of just $12.80. it also comes w all the side dishes which was surprisingly very tasty especially the potatoes (on the far left). even the egg drop soup was a delight. however, the beef while well marinated was on the tougher and rougher side :( nonetheless it’s still a very affordable and satisfying meal! .
ordered a portion of japchae and sundubu jjigae to share w a friend as well (sadly not in pic). while these were our “side dishes”, they actually fared much better imo as the glass noodles were springy and flavour ful without being overly wet + the soup was slightly spicy but super generous w the tofu and minced pork!! the egg stirred into the slightly spicy and sour concoction made it really appetizing as well. wld definitely return for those dishes!!
The cold noodles were very refreshing and tasted quite similar to those I’ve had in Korea so I enjoyed this quite a bit 😋
This is the first time ever ive come across the option to have dak galbi for 1pax!! Quite tasty, big chunks of chicken thigh meat. Just a bit too much glass noodle for my liking! Very filling as it comes with topokki too! This place even has army stew for 1 pax! Pretty amazing huh
No wonder they've been around since 1999. The fried rice is super yummy with sausages and squid inside and a hint of cheese. Yumz.
Served with rice and soup.' HOHO. Words copied from the menu! 🤣
Sooo filling that I was the last one to finish. 😅 But the food presentation is so frustrating. HAHA. Not presentable at all. Anyway, it was delicious and satisfying. All that matters for a hungry stomach! 😆

$7.90++ for crisp at the ends and substantially thick without being jelat Korean seafood pancakes? This is Manna's signature dish.
At the same price tag the japchae was far from insipid- a dual sweet and savoury taste with each bite.
On the menu is a lower price range ($13.90-$15.90++ for our soups), hence one should manage his/her expectations (i.e. of generosity of seafood in pancake, ginseng used in the samgyetang). With such a mindset, you would be pleased with the tasty homely Korean fare here at Manna and discount the lacklustre side dishes.
Price: between S$10-15
Honestly a hit or miss - but mostly hits than misses. They are very generous with the stuff inside the soup, and it will always be my go-to comfort food. There's an option to add cheese into the soup, and my life motto is #whenindoubtaddcheese, but I'd say that going without cheese is a better option just this once.
Price: S$ 7.80
This is all I ever wanted out of a spring onion pancake. VERY crunchy at the sides, chewy in the middle, and just the right amount of spring onion to keep it interesting.
