Home-based businesses have been popping up ever since the circuit breaker and we’re all for it. One of them is Lunsay Kitchen, a home-based business selling hearty Korean food such as kimbap and their award-winning japchae.
Lunsay Kitchen Singapore
Lunsay Kitchen offers an array of items such as innovative Kimbaps, award-winning Japchae and even side dishes like cucumber kimchi. You can get these dishes delivered to your doorstep or collect them yourself near Yishun.
Here are some items we tried:
Award-Winning Japchae
The Japchae ($7 to $10) from Lunsay Kitchen really did win an award back in 2019. Their version of Japchae took home the 1st prize at the 2019 Singapore Hansik Contest.
Lunsay Kitchen’s Japchae contained lots of ingredients such as spinach, mushroom, and carrots. The sweet potato noodles were also springy and not overcooked.
The Japchae also came with an egg roll, that was packed with ingredients as well.
Their Japchae can last for 2 to 3 days if properly stored in the fridge. Reheating options include stir-frying or using the microwave.
Kimbap (Korean Rice Rolls)
Lunsay Kitchen has quite a variety of kimbaps to choose from, such as the Traditional Kimbap ($7), Luncheon Meat with Egg Kimbap ($7.50) and Bulgogi Pork Kimbap ($9.50).
Korean Fish Cake Kimbap
The fishcake kimbap ($8) contains eggs, carrots and an iconic Korean side dish: stir-fried fishcakes.
The slightly tough fishcake texture complemented the soft textures of the rice. However, we did hope for something refreshing in the kimbap such as cucumber to bring down the overall saltiness of the dish.
Army Stew Kimbap
This is probably one of the more interesting kimbap flavours by Lunsay Kitchen. Besides the classic ingredients seen in Korean army stews such as sausages and spam, the Army Stew Kimbap ($9) also has slices of egg, carrots and kimchi.
The kimchi in the Army Stew Kimbap was slightly on the sour side, which added a nice refreshing kick. While the flavours of the spam did not really stand out amongst the other ingredients, we found the overall flavour of the kimbap acceptable.
Spicy Braised Chicken
One of the mains you can get is the Spicy Braised Chicken ($10.90), which contained pieces of chicken, potatoes, rice cakes, onions and scallions.
The stew itself is not too spicy, with a nice sweetness from various vegetables. We did find the rice cakes to be slightly undercooked, so we recommend reheating the dish over an open flame if you prefer soft and chewy rice cakes.
How to Order
For orders, you can head over to Lunsay Kitchen’s Instagram page and fill in the provided Google Form. You can also take a look at their menu before deciding as it changes from time to time.
