Next, load up with an array of hearty mains such as Beef Bulgogi Sandwich with Chips ($18.90) featuring tender slices of beef short plate layered with caramelised onions, mozzarella cheese, dressed with kimchi mayo and bulgogi sauce, between sourdough toast.
Diners going meat-free can dig into Vegetarian K-Bowl ($14.90)- a vegan rendition of the classic Bibimbap, topped with roasted mushrooms, egg, kimchi and a medley of vegetables tossed in a special house-made sauce.
Sharing Plates
Relive your K-drama ramyun slurping moments with Signature Seafood Kimchi Ramyun Soup ($39.90), a simmering pot of soul-soothing soupy noodles with kimchi and ocean gems such as baby octopus scallops, prawns, crab leg and kimchi. Originally designed for 2 pax sharing, this generous pot of goodness could easily feed up to 4 pax on our table.
Complete your Korean gastronomic journey with a delectable kimchi and seafood pancake at Dal.Komm Playground. They serve up a fluffy yet crispy Seafood Pancake ($23.90) crafted with house-made kimchi batter, adorned with prawns, scallops, octopus and onions, with a sesame-soy dip.

On their extensive sweets menu, you can find lovely creations decked in classic Korean dessert ingredients like strawberry injeolmi, sweet potato, banana, and more. Cruffin French Toast ($18.90) switches the regular toast with a flaky and buttery puff pastry dusted with icing sugar and topped with nuts, fruits and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
Pop in from 3pm to 8pm daily to enjoy exciting happy hour deals; cheers to a refreshing line-up of Korean specialty craft beers, soju, makgeolli and more. Outlet-exclusive makgeolli variations include the Makgeolli Medley ($38), tasting set of 4 makgeolli flavours, and a lovely pink Strawberry Makgeolli Bingsu ($38)– finely-shaved ice adorned with fresh strawberries, blueberries and thyme, and served with a bottle of makgeolli to be poured into the glass bowl. Mix well with the glass ladle.
We enjoyed the refreshing Strawberry Makgeolli Bingsu, an “adults-only” bingsu with the makgeolli’s strong alcoholic taste mellowed down with fresh lemon, strawberries and blueberries.
