Kimbap ($6.90)
consisted a lot of ingredients inside the sushi. still ok but average taste for kimbap.
Bibimbap (Chicken) ($8.90)
hmmmm adding sauce is self service and they didn't sauce directly into bibimbap. the rice on the bottom of the bowl is not crispy enough tbh.
Rooftop garden korean food dining experience at @pinkcandy.sg !
They are part of the hawker centre, so you will have to stand around and hover over ppl who are about to leave to get your seats.
Besides the nice al fresco dining vibes with nice sunset view, I was pleasantly surprised by the food! I had actually lowered my expectations because I read some negative/average reviews for some particular items.
Ginseng Chicken Noodle Soup ($29.90): This contains half a chicken, and is good for 2-3 pax! We were actually quite surprised that there was UDON noodles in it! (Because the signboard was blocked by the bowls so we thought it was only ginseng chicken soup lol!) The soup contained tender soft chicken, dumplings, mushrooms, Tteok-bokki and beancurd! Oh, we were also surprised that it was served hot pot style! We thought it would just be in a stainless steel bowl. The hot pot style serving kept the soup pipping hot, so it was super delicious!
Seafood tofu soup ($12.90): This came with 2-3 fresh prawns, soft jiggly tofu, some clams and squid! The Sundubu-jjigae soup base was so good! This comes with a bowl of irce
Soy Sauce Chicken Wings ($14.90): 9 pieces, but they actually mean 4.5 wings if you get what i mean. This was quite nice, crispy batter and just at the right marination! (This was so much better than some other chicken wings from a famed korean stall in the aljunied mrt area which had thick batter that felt like it was refried many times!)
The bill amounted up to almost $60 for a 4 pax portion (plus additional order of 2 plain rice). If there is only one things that you can order, I will strongly recommend to try the ginseng chicken noodle soup stew!!
They also advertise themselves as serving korea homemade style food with NO MSG! Which I turned out to be quite true, as we were not super thirsty after the meal!

The pancake was unfortunately mediocre, it was thick and doughy, lacking the familiar crunch. A pity that there wasn’t that many ingredients as well.
Kinda expected more from Pink Candy since they are so popular, but we’re guessing that it is probably down to what you order. Had their naengmyeon and seafood pancake. The cold noodles were decent but the broth got a bit flat half way through. Food aside, we were here in the evening and the rooftop alfresco vibe was quite nice!
Good comfort food on a rainy day☺️ The broth had a good balance of flavour, though it was on the oilier end. The chicken was fairly tender, not too dry. Portion might be a bit small for big eaters though.
The dish itself was nothing to shout about, but overall, price was reasonable for the quality. Do also note that the chicken is not stuffed with glutinous rice, as expected of most Samgyetang elsewhere.
I must say that I really loved their homemade kimchi though! It had a great balance between sourness, spiciness, sweetness and saltiness. Would consider coming back again to try their other dishes!
Definitely gonna head back specially for its kimchi stew... Spicyness isn’t too strong, right amount of sweetness & you can even bag home their freshly home-made kimchi!!!! Look at the generous amount of ingredients which is affordably priced @ $10 for this huge hearty bowl.
Perfect for a cooling rainy weather and definitely gonna dine in here monthly! (Just avoid the peak hour lunch/dinner time) and all’s good!
Bt Timah has lots of Korean restaurants and sometimes it's a headache to choose a fav 1 🤣 Decided to give Pink Candy a try since food court don't have GST or service charge haha. Anyway they serve really good kimchi, I prefer to have my kimchi spicy spicy than sour sour hence they really nailed it (even brought home 1kg worth of kimchi to enjoy SEOULshiok). However the jjajangmyeon is not that nice - sauce not that flavourful and still can taste a bit of yellow noodles sobs. Would recommend to order the Chicken Bulgogi & their Spicy Sauce Fried Chicken (but it doesn't taste/feel spicy at all hahaa) Mashita 😋 the downside of eating at the food court will be no air con, cannot refill kimchi (unless you pay 50 cents) and no free flow of side dishes. So choose wisely hahahaha.
Wanted to place an order , the Korean lady ( should be the lady boss) asked us to take a seat first and they will come over to take our orders.
Waited 5 mins and notice people are queuing to order. I then ask the lady if I should wait or queue (again) , she asked me to queue to order. (Lmao?)
Army stew portion were relatively small. Hence decided to place an extra order but the cashier / server disappeared.
Waited for awhile and when we saw the cashier, we reach out hoping to order , she then tell us “we are temporarily closed”.
SUPER SLOW SERVICE WITH ATTITUDE PROBLEM
Food is not bad.
Located at the back of Beauty World Food Centre, this stall is run by Koreans and serves a variety of authentic Korean food. I had the kimbob, which came as pictured with 11 pieces, with egg, carrot, cucumber, crabsticks, burdock, pickled radish and ham. It was refreshing, homely, and made for a satisfying light lunch.
Was initially very skeptical about the pancake, but it was surprisingly quite nice! Definitely not one of the best around, but liked that the edges was crispy and it came with soooo much seafood like sotong, prawns etc! 🤤🤤 More doughy and thicker than the usual sold elsewhere, this was priced rather highly compared to their other dishes (
Satisfying enough to curb any korean craving one might have at this price point and setting! Situated at a food centre with competitive prices (without service charge), don’t come in with too unreasonable expectations and you’ll definitely be well satisfied with your meal 😊😊 Army stew looked a little small for 2 pax, but comes chocked full of ingredients like pork, sausage, luncheon meat, meatballs, topokki, ramen noodles (but was like 1 pack?), kimchi, tofu and topped with a slice of cheese! Sides, or rather side, of kimchi was rather mediocre. But definitely loving the chill ambience set at the rooftop of Beauty World Centre with friendly service and reasonably priced korean food for once 👍🏻👍🏻
This is a hawker stall, not a restaurant. They probably shifted from its original location to the hawker stall on the same floor. Ordered kimbab, bibimbap, ginseng chicken, jjajang noodles, abalone porridge and seafood pancake. Came with a side dish of kimchi. Honestly, I felt the food was average and I've had better. Out of those ordered, bibimbap was probably the most decent tasting.
Hidden gem in beauty world. Please go and try this authentic Korean restaurant.
Must order: fried kimbap (not shown in pic)
Tofu soup
this is perfect for 2 pax sharing on a rainy cooling day! the broth is nt too spicy and has the right amount of kimchi-ness to it. there is a lot of sausages, luncheon meat, toppokki, enoki mushroom & small slices of pork bellies.
there have a rewards card too. get a chop for every $20 spent. collect 10 chops and get $10 off
Located at the top of Beauty World Centre, @PinkCandySG has been around for quite awhile but I'm kind of late huh, only got to try it recently. Though I dare to say this is truly a hidden gem & possibly my latest favourite hangout for snacks & chill.
They have a pretty extensive, contemporary but on-trend menu serving hip eats (Korean drama & variety style, & even played the OST from Descendants of the Sun!) without being pretentious in any sense. Everything we ordered were generously portioned (and so reasonably priced!):
• Jjamppong/Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup ($12.90) - mildly spiced rich broth satisfying palate & deep down hunger. Flavour bombed with fascinating texture from crazily portioned mix of seafood. Could even be shared between 2.
• Jjajangmyeon/Noodle with Black Bean Sauce ($11.90) - I thought I loved the $15 one at my usual spot at Clarke Quay, but this is better.
• Kimbap/Dried Seaweed Rolls ($8.90) - I have no words, no doubt this is their best-seller 💕
Along with fresh complimentary side dishes & barley tea, their apple kimchi (yes you read it right) was so good I should've bought some home.
Service was impeccable, I'm not sure if it's just me but I find that owners of humble Korean snack bars like this always genuinely care about customers' experience. The sweet lady boss single-handedly whipped out these dishes in a couple of minutes, culinary skills need no further elaborations.
Definitely going back! Few other items like their fish cake soup, fried chicken, ddeokbokki & soondae will be waiting for me 😊
I can’t remember when was the last time we had Korean food at home...... so we decided to ‘tapao’ (takeaway) some kimbap to have a change of meal option today.
These healthy and enjoyable seaweed rolls is a welcome change for my folks and each roll is stuffed with ingredients including ham, egg, crab stick, cucumber, radish pickle, burdock root and carrot. My dad loves the variety of vegetables that give a good crunch and toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top which lend a light fragrant to it.

I had a serious craving for Korean food recently and just had to satisfy it with @pinkcandy.sg, a Korean stall at Beauty World Food Centre.
Portions are generous as usual, enough for both lunch and dinner tbh. Some might find it a little oily but save the gravy because it is perfect for fried rice.
Verdict: You can't go wrong with their food. Good, reasonably priced and generously portioned.
