Makan: Treat yourself to these deals this weekend (Nov 7 to 9)
From indulgent sweet treats to classic Korean dishes, enjoy a variety of flavours with these new culinary launches.
Here's where to eat and drink next.
1. Enjoy authentic Korean food at cave-themed restaurant Gochu Korean Dining & BBQ
Looking for a Korean restaurant that's unlike anything you've tried before? Gochu Korean Dining & BBQ is Singapore's first cave-themed Korean restaurant, where bold flavours meet a unique ambience inspired by nature.
Named after gochu, the Korean chili pepper that symbolises the soul of Korean flavour, Gochu's interior is a respite from city life. Think stone walls, warm lighting and oakwood smoke wafting through the air for an immersive dining experience.
Don't miss the Oakwood-Grilled Pork Ribs, a crowd favourite that captures the essence of Korean BBQ. Other must-tries include the Deep-Fried Chili Peppers, a signature dish made by stuffing green chilies with seasoned minced pork, tofu and vegetables, Black Soybean Noodles and Ppyeo Jjim and Haejangguk. These are comforting classics served with hearty, home-style depth.
Try them at 1 Orchid Club Road, Golf Driving Range.
