Why you shouldn't listen to local Food Bloggers who charge for reviews and listicles!
Recently, an article by a local food blogger claimed they stumbled upon “Singapore’s Worst-rated Korean food stall.” The blog post took a toll, casting a swathe of negativity over Manna Korea. But then, another news shocked the food community when a woman claimed the same blogger charged S$2.3K to feature her business. The publication apologized for the confusion this caused.Â
It left us wondering if the restaurant had potentially rejected an offer for a paid review and hence the negative review, so we went ourselves to find out if their negative review was true!? In my experience, nothing could be further from the truth but read on for yourselves and make your own mind up.
Free-Flowing Sides and Rapid Refills Keep Taste Buds Satisfied
Manna Korean Restaurant located at Changi City Point delivers impressively efficient yet hospitable service from the moment one is seated. Despite being extremally busy the friendly staff wasted no time taking orders, briskly inputting them into their POS system.
Within minutes, complimentary banchan starters begin arriving at the table – kimchi, pickled radish, seaweed and more, replenished regularly as free-flowing sides. When mains are ready, dishes emerge from the kitchen just as rapidly through the counter window.Â
There is never a lull as spoon-feeding attentive support keeps drinks topped up and tables cleared. Even bills are presented without delay. This well-oiled service ensures maximum time spent savouring the authentic flavours, not waiting between courses. It allows diners to fully immerse in the comfort of Korean homestyle cooking within the upbeat yet relaxed dining environment.
ManNa Korean Restaurant - Marinated beef Short Rib - La Kalbi $32.80
When you’re craving authentic Korean flavours, ManNa Korean Restaurant is a must to visit. I have to say, their Marinated beef Short rib – La Kalbi is absolutely amazing at $32.80. It’s an experience that’s hard to forget – the tender beef falling off the rib, soaked in the sumptuous, sweet-savoury marinade that exemplifies the heart of Korean cuisine. It’s cooked to perfection, with charred edges that add just the right amount of crispness and smoky flavour, juxtaposed with the meltingly soft interiors of the beef.
ManNa Korean Restaurant - Spring Onion Pancake - PA Jeon $18.80
Delightful dish that joyfully teases your palate with an array of flavours. The price tag – $18.80 might raise a few eyebrows but wait till you actually take a bite! The succulent spring onions wrapped in an adaptable pancake is a trip down the taste lane that you’d not want to miss and let’s just say it neatly stacks up with its contemporaries.
The ManNa Korean Restaurant Spring Onion Pancake, known as PA Jeon in Korean cuisine, is an explosion of flavours that will leave your taste buds wanting more. It’s not just about the spring onions; it’s also about the pancake itself which adapts and absorbs all those wonderful tastes.
Yes, $18.80 might seem steep for some but once you experience this dish, we assure you it’s worth every penny! This isn’t just any ordinary pancake – it has its own unique identity and stands tall among other popular dishes and is super crispy.
So next time when dining out or ordering in, do consider giving PA Jeon a chance to impress your senses with its delightful combination of flavours!
Chilled Buckwheat noodles with hard-boiled egg & beef slices in spicy sauce - Bibim Naeng Myeon $16.80
When you cozy up to an exotic dish like the spicy, Korean-inspired Bibim Naeng Myeon, be ready for a flavour explosion. $16.80 might seem a tad pricey for noodles, but remember we’re not talking about your ordinary run-of-the-mill instant variety.Â
Picture thinly-sliced seared beef coupled with the freshness of a hard-boiled egg, both immersed in a spicy sauce that sets your taste buds awake. And let’s not forget the welcome addition of chilled buckwheat noodles, which gives this dish the hearty undertone it deserves.
The noodles were so good we forgot to even take a picture but trust me when I say don’t let one negative review deter you from trying out these amazing dishes. Remember: opinions are subjective and everyone has their own palate preferences. Despite it all, remember that reviews are subjective and to give Manna Korea a try, especially the heavenly La Kalbi.
