You’ve probably come across the viral sensation SOTPOT on social media! On March 29, the same owners are set to launch Onggii, a new Korean restaurant tucked in a corner of Suntec City, offering authentic Korean comfort food.
Chic, Industrial Interior
Onggii has a clean and minimalistic interior design featuring a monochromatic palette. The combination of black brick walls and beige limewash creates a modern and cosy ambience, complemented by sofa booths.
Onggii Menu
The menu offers a variety of Korean soul broth with 3 types of meat option – pork, chicken, and beef, featuring specialties like Dak Gomtang ($15.90) and Dewji Gamja Tang ($17.90). You can also enjoy stew sets such as Kimchi Jjigae ($22.90) and Chadol Doenjang Jjigae ($16.90)
For sharing, try the classic Kimchi Cheese Jeon or the Dak Muchim ($22.90) and So Suyuk ($29.90)!
Gukbap
Each serving of gukbap includes a side dish and a cup of blackberry soju. Noodles and rice are served separately from the soup, allowing you to enjoy them on their own or added into the soup!
The Dweji Gomtang ($16.90) was one of our favourites of the night. The broth was lightly seasoned, with no gamey smell of pork at all!
We also tried the So Gomtang ($21.90), featuring generous portions of tender beef slices. While the meat was tender, we found its gamey taste to be a bit strong.
For those who find the soup too simple, adding a scoop of their yangnyeom paste provides an extra kick!
Kimchi Jjim
The Kimchi Jjim ($22.90) came with a generous serving of kimchi, soaking up the rich flavours of the stew, which will go well with a bowl of rice. Although well-seasoned and not overly salty, we felt that a bit more spice would elevate the flavours further.
Galbi-Jjim
Another highlight was the Galbi-Jjim ($34.90), which was worth a shoutout. These short ribs were coated in a classic sweet and soy sauce, that left a lasting impression. It had no strong gamey flavour, with the perfect balance of meat and fattiness!
