For a fun and hearty meal with friends, Gu:um is a good bet. The casual steakhouse by chef Louis Han of Michelin-starred Nae:um has a new Gu:um Sang Set Menu “Hanwoo & Namul” (S$168 per person) inspired by the culture of Korean temple food, pairing the richness of hanwoo with delicately seasoned vegetables.
The menu includes a Karae Chicken Tart, Leek & Doenjang and Nokcha Guksu, in addition to the main event of 1++ grade hanwoo lower loin, Jeju black pork collar, tiger prawns, chicken skewers, fresh and grilled vegetables, and banchan. Then follows a rice course, galbi soup and a dessert of hwachae or fruit punch.
(Over at Nae:um, hanwoo, simply grilled to showcase its natural beefiness, is also available as a supplement to the tasting menu, served to accompany the rice course.)
