Vegetarianism: Boneless Kitchen (Part I of Birthday Treat)

The first stop of my birthday treat was to Boneless Kitchen[1][2]. They specialises in vegetarian korean food.

It used to be located in Bukit Merah when it was reviewed by Hungry Ang Mo[2]. It seemed that he had mixed reviews on the quality of the food. Mostly leaning towards that there is room for improvement. But since he mentioned that they had improved from a previous days, it might be possible that they have made further progress since their Bukit Merah days.

As a vegetarian in Singapore, it is quite easy to find Chinese, Indian and Western versions. But other eastern food such as Korean, Japanese are harder to come by. Hence, I was really looking forward to it when my sister suggested to give me a treat at Boneless Kitchen.

Let me try to recall what we ordered:
Korean army stew, pancake, kim chi, pickled radish, potato vermicelli, squid rings, pan-fried tofu, dumplings, toppoki, etc.

This photo was taken at the beginning of the feast. I did not manage to to take any more when the other sides were served because I was too hungry by then :p

To quote my sister: "You are pigssss" :p *Haha*~ Ya, we really pigged out :p 

Location wise, it is very near Tai Seng MRT. Probably about 10 mins walk max and pretty easy to locate. Do note that they open from 11:30 am - 9 pm on Tues - Sun.

Ambience wise, the decoration is pretty korean looking but I felt that they could create an even more korean feel by playing k-pop as their background music instead of Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On".

Food wise, we liked the army stew the best. Dumplings were pretty interesting with the kim chi fillings. The rest which I tried are pretty alright or normal. But I personally find that the pancake was a little flat (just as Hungry Ang Mo reviewed) and oily. Also, I preferred the toppoki that my sister once made for me over theirs...

I feel that Boneless Kitchen is worth at least a try. Since there are quite a number of dishes which I have yet to try, I might visit Boneless Kitchen again if I am around the area or meeting my friends there. But, I probably won't go out of my way just to visit them.

*I revisited Boneless Kitchen again about a week after my 1st visit. This time, the background music is in Korean ;)*
