A Taste of Home at Myung Ga II — Korean Food Worth the Hype

#summervacay Myung Ga II at Tanjong Pagar is well known for being an authentic Korean restaurant run by a kind and attentive Korean lady boss. It has two outlets, one at Tanjong Pagar and another at Bukit Timah Plaza, and the hype around it is definitely justified. The dishes are solid and packed with flavor. Their kimchi jjigae is loaded with pork, tofu, and intensely flavorful aged kimchi that gives the broth a rich, comforting depth. The bossam comes with thick, tender steamed pork slices, perfect for wrapping with crunchy kimchi and a bit of ssamjang for that punch of umami. The sweet soy garlic chicken is crispy and sticky with a sweet-savory glaze that’s truly addictive. Their seafood pancake has a crisp edge and chewy inside, generously filled with prawns and squid. Of course, you can’t miss their viral tuna mayo kimbap, which is creamy and satisfying, and the spicy pork spam kimbap that adds a nice smoky, spicy kick. On top of all this, the banchan is homely and generous, including their housemade kimchi that ties all the flavors together. A lovely touch is that they give free complimentary kimbap when the lady boss is around, and every meal comes with a free probiotic Yakult drink to finish things off. Despite the place being packed even during late weekday lunch hours, the service stays warm and genuine. The lady boss personally checks on every table, ensuring everyone feels well taken care of — hospitality that’s definitely above and beyond. If you’re looking for authentic Korean food with hearty portions and homely vibes, Myung Ga II is definitely a spot worth visiting. #thingstodo #afternoonteatime #localfood #myitinerary #citydaytours
