As we see in most Korean restaurants in Singapore, Bi bim bap is always one of the menu staples. It seems relatively easy to prepare with rice or bap as the base, topped with meat, vegetables and a special sauce. Variations of these ingredients like the addition of egg, choice of colorful veggies and their presentation on a hot stone bowl make the difference. Not to forget the bibimbap chilli sauce aka Gochujang that gives the rich and fermented taste just like kimchi. Speaking of kimchi, being the most famous, array of side dishes or banchan is also very common in the cuisine.
Aside from hot stone rice, they also have a number of dishes perfect on hot plates like beef bulgogi and godenguh. One more thing consistent I noticed among Korean food installments is their BEEF! I think I never had a bad experience with beef in any Korean restaurant I've been to and it was always an easy choice whenever faced with meat options. Thus, from now on, I shall call it the K-Beef ! =)
One last and important part of their food culture enjoyed by Koreans and non-Koreans alike is Korean BBQ! Who doesn't love deliciously marinated and freshly grilled meat? They are basically for everyone. They are everywhere. Usually in buffet and sometimes including salads (rather kimchi or other ferments), pre-cooked food or desserts.

Enjoy & be hungry!
