Popular Korean café and coffee brand Dal.Komm COFFEE launches an exclusive all-day dining concept at Dal.Komm Playground, in the heart of Guoco Midtown. Inspired by a fox’s den; with cosy nooks and corners, as well as a bright al fresco area, Dal.Komm Playground entices diners with a contemporary Korean-inspired menu featuring classic Korean delights, wholesome brunch & mains, sharing platters, complete with divine desserts, gourmet coffee, and a curated range of quintessential Korean alcoholic beverages.

Small Bites

Pan Fried Sotteok

Kick start your day with delightful bites, paired with a cup of coffee or a pint of beer on a lazy afternoon. Pan Fried Sotteok ($16.90) makes a mouthwatering snack with chewy rice cakes and sausages basted with a spicy gochujang-based sauce.

Enjoy a “chimaek” (Korean fried chicken with beer combo) experience with Signature Buldak Fried Wings ($16.90)- crisp fried chicken wings coated with chef's red-hot and fiery Korean hot sauce or the Fox M Boneless Fried Chicken ($16.90)- golden brown deep-fried K-style chicken chunks with a piquant DK house-made dip.

Mains

Beef Bulgogi Sandwich with Chips

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.
