It was my last day in the company as a full-time staff. After work, Jia Yi, Lynn, Tracie and I went down to Togi Korean Restaurant to have our dinner. Situtated along the stretch of Mosque Street, Togi was buzzing with people queueing outside the shop and wait for the staff to usher them in. Luckily we’ve booked the place and got in to the restaurant fast.

Togi is a famous korean restaurant and I heard that it was well known for their BBQ pork belly wrapped with lettuce. We were served a wide variety of appetizers like asparagus, cucumber, kimchi etc etc. This shop is owned by a Korean lady boss and the standard of the Korean food is somehow there.

Sam Gyeup Sal (barbecued pork belly)
Sam Gyeup Sal consists of pork belly with onions and sliced potatoes and mushrooms on the side. As I mentioned earlier, Togi is well known for their BBQ pork belly wrapped with lettuce. Wrap the lettuce with sliced garlic, a tab of green chilli and brown sauce.

Ginseng Chicken Soup
Wow..I’ve never tried Ginseng Chicken Soup before. When you cut open the chicken, you reveal another secret of the dish. Sticky glutinous rice is wrapped inside the chicken. The soup comes free-flow and you can drink as much as you can.

For lunch, my colleagues and I went to one of the restaurant at International Plaza. Kia Hiang Restaurant (嘉香大酒棲)is located at the second floor. My colleagues have been mentioning to me that their Claypot Spring Chicken is nice, and wanted to bring me there long ago.

Kia Hiang Restaurant was recommended by Singapore Health Promotion Board as a choice for healthier dining.

This is one of those no frills, true old school, Cantonese restaurant that serves good home-style food. While its cream-coloured interior may not spell modern-chic, the clean, neat environment and friendly serve staff made my visit a pleasant and comfortable experience. It’s good to know that this restaurant offers several dishes on their menu that are lower in fat and salt. Source: Health Promotion Board

Claypot Spring Chicken
Among all the dishes I had, this is my favorite, and this is the restaurant’s specialty dish. This dish is the reason why people are here. The chicken is wrapped by cabbage and it is slowly braised for 3 hours where the chicken soup is made into gravy.
