@ Temple Street is one of the early established Korean Restaurant
owned and run by Korean owner. Located in the heritage shop houses
along temple street, this restaurant has been serving authentic
Korean food since 2008.
When
it come to Korean food, it is Little Devil's ('LD') area of
expertise. To be honest, if you ask me what cuisine do I want to eat,
Korean is the last thing that come to my mind. Not to say that I
don't enjoy Korean food. I like Korean BBQ and their beef soup. Other
than that. I find the options are quite limited for me as I am not
very keen on spicy food.
As
it is only two of us, we decided to order simple dishes. LD's have
Mul Naeng Myen (Cold Noodle with beef – $14.50) and Nan Ji Bok Um
(Spicy Stir Fried Octopus – $25) as her octopus cravings got the
better of her. For me, I had Dukbaegi Bulgogi (Beef Stew with
mushroom and glass noodle - $15).
LD's cold noodle is very refreshing. The noodle is very springy (qq) and chewy. The cold clear beef soup with a dash of sourness from the vinegar is really appetizing. If you have this dish in the summer, it provide the cold comfort relieve from the hot weather. The sliced beef brisket is cooked to tender.

For
the octopus, it is actually not that a mind blowing spiciness that
you find in this dish. But more like a subtle combination of
different spicy flavour. There are lots of ingredients in the dish
such as green chilli, red chilli, onion, octopus and rice cakes to
name a few. The octopus is actually very chewy and resilient to my
liking, but as long as you avoid the chilli seed, you will be fine.

The
beef stew tasted quite sweet because they use the same bulgogi
marinate in the beef. The soup is quite robust with a slightly cloudy
texture as the beef essence came out from the meat. The beef portion
is very generous, and I suggest to have a bowl of rice to balance out
the sweetness in this dish.

The
restaurant is simply decorated and very bright. Space can be a luxury
in this place and ventilation is not good. Expect to come out smells
like the food you are eating, especially if you are having bbq meat.
Service is friendly and efficient. Although the owner is Korean, none
of the other service staff is Korean.
The restaurant is packed most of the time and during our meal we saw people queuing outside the restaurant waiting for their turn to savour the food here. The price is very reasonable. Overall, if you are really into Korean food, you must give this place a try. Hwanho and Gamsahabnida!!! Cheers and Thank you !!!
