Hanwoori is an authentic restaurant. Even during the circuit breaker period, they continue to operate, with islandwide delivery. It is run by a Korean Chef and Boss, serving authentic Korean food with a friendly team. With such good food and good people, I recommend you to try it! You can either order it online or patronise their restaurant once it is reopened again.

Notable menu highlights include the kitchen’s special kimchi hotpot, ginseng chicken soup, and jjapchae – a classic Korean glass noodle dish with vegetables. Popular with the local foodie community, particularly on weekends, arriving at Hanwoori Korean Restaurant at Serangoon Garden Way with a reservation made in advance is highly recommended.

Due to the evening peak hour, our delivery scheduled at 7.30pm only arrived 45 minutes later. We had placed our order in the afternoon around 4pm and made payment via PayNow, so as to give the restaurant more time to prepare the food. The owner had a get a taxi to deliver the food to us because the riders on FoodPanda were busy.

For mains, I chose bibimbap with beef ($14). There was a small serving of gochujang (Korean spicy paste) to mix with the rice. The beef serving was too little, but then this dish is supposed to be healthy due to the variety of vegetables used.

For her, she ordered kimchi jjigae ($15) which is spicy kimchi stew, with some meat, prawns and clams in the soup. It was not too spicy nor salty and there was a serving of rice to accompany this dish. The soup was warm and delicious, as well as packed with wholesome ingredients.

For our side dish, we had tteokbokki ($15), Korean rice cakes. The rice cakes were really chewy and due to the takeaway container, most of the sauce was already absorbed by the rice cakes when it arrived. There were also some slices of fish cake. My best memory of eating tteokbokki is still the street food stalls in South Korea, especially during winter when you hold a warm cup of this food on the streets and eat it using satay sticks.

The restaurant was also very generous with the banchan (side dishes). It was served in cute muffin paper with six different small dishes. To ensure that we had enough, they even gave us 6 boxes of side dishes to share!

From pickled kimchi to radish to cucumber, to boiled egg and fish cake, there was a wide variety in the banchan that made this meal really authentic. It felt like we were dining in a Korean restaurant and instead of asking the staff for top up, we just opened up another box of banchan to help ourselves.

The banchan given to us was really too much, so I saved some for the next day. I made my own kimchi ramen with mussels and banchan by the side. It was awesome.

I hope to visit Hanwoori and dine there once the circuit breaker ends. Even with the satisfactory home dining experience, I am sure it will be a nicer ambience at the restaurant itself.
