Huluruk begins from an old Korean grandmother Halmuni Song where she used
her secret recipe to create unique myeon noodles. It started as early as
1945 and through the help of her granddaughter, Halmuni Song managed to
rekindle these legendary myeon dishes with many more varieties and
choices.
There are currently 2 outlets, at Junction 8 and Novena Velocity. The Bishan
outlet offers a much larger variety, from the standard myeon dishes,
dumplings, volcano rice and many more sides. The restaurant was crowded
during dinner time but fortunately we do not have to queue or wait for long.
We ordered 2 main noodle dishes each with 2 sides.
1. Spicy chicken ramyeon ($8.80) - the portion was generous, with
lots of chicken pcs and vegetables. The ramyeon was cooked to the right
texture, super springy and I simply love the peppery taste.
Rating: 4/5
2. Jajangmyeon ($10.90) - homemade springy ramyeon doused in thick
black bean sauce. The taste is not as strong as the Jajangmyeon from Obba
and its slightly on the sweet side. But gotta give thumbs up on the
springiness of the noodles. Rating: 3.8/5
3. Original dumplings ($6.80) - 6 piping hot pork Korean dumplings
accompanied with light soy sauce. Nothing beats the original Myeongdong
dumplings. The dumplings are too porky for my liking. Rating: 3.5/5
4. Spicy pork bulgogi ($9.90) - love the spiciness and tenderness of
the pork slices. Could go so well with a bowl of white rice.
Rating: 4/5
The food serving was prompt and service was attentive. Though some dishes
were a hit and miss, we were nevertheless please with our noodle dishes,
especially my ramyeon on a cool evening. We should be back to try the rest
of their other rice dishes, so do stay tuned.
