is bomul worth the 1hr+ wait ?

BOMUL Samgyetang @ CHIJMES 🇰🇷🍲

Opened in nov and rly so worth the hype.

Authentic Korean ginseng chicken soup with deep, comforting flavours, not watered down, not touristy.

We ordered the Classic Set for 2 ($95) and walked out full, happy, and very satisfied. Super value for the quality, and the service was genuinely warm and attentive.

If you’re craving real-deal samgyetang in town, this one’s a must-try.

Saving this spot for return visits. 👀✨

P.S. you can get a queue number first and then head back after you receive a notification when it’s nearing your turn to sit !!

... Read moreWaiting for over an hour at BOMUL might seem daunting, but here’s why it’s totally worth it. I found that their efficient queue system lets you take a number and return when your table is ready, freeing you up instead of standing in line. The portion sizes surprised me—they’re huge! The anti-aging samgyetang includes special ingredients like squid, abalone, and mushrooms, and even comes with glutinous rice inside the chicken for extra richness. One highlight was the minari pancake—crispy, golden, and made with fresh water parsley—so addictive that I kept snacking on it while waiting. The free-flow side dishes, especially the kimchi and garlic pickles, were delicious and kept getting refilled without needing to ask. BOMUL’s honey ginseng tea was soothing without an overpowering ginseng taste, perfect for Singapore’s hot and humid weather, while the homemade black sesame ginseng ice cream made a delightful finish. The ambience, with its Korean hanok vibes, is cozy and inviting for family or friend gatherings. If you want to experience a traditional summer Korean dish known as 'fighting heat with heat,' BOMUL’s samgyetang is the place. The care and quality shine through in every bite. Though a bit pricey, the flavorful soup, generous portions, and warm service make every minute of the wait worthwhile. For those craving authentic Korean ginseng chicken soup in Singapore, this is a must-visit spot. Just remember to get your queue number early!
