On the bustling road of Amoy Street, a quiet restaurant makes its grand opening, serving samgyetang to its guests, and turning the noisy atmosphere into a tranquil space.
At the newest branch of MODU High, the restaurant brings its comforting signature broth comprising ginseng, jujube, garlic, and more to the hustling CBD.
Appetisers and Shareables
Starting with appetisers, we were greeted with three dishes: steamed eggplant in soy sauce, ginger and ginseng in honey, and fresh tomatoes in chilli oil. While the combination might sound unfamiliar, don’t be afraid to dig in and experience a different (and acquired) side of Korean cuisine!

We also tried the restaurant’s Mung Bean Pancake (S$16), which is made by grinding soaked mung beans, adding vegetables and meat and pan-frying it into a round, flat shape. We 100% recommend dipping the pancake in the sauce, as we did find the pancake a little plain for our liking.
Samgyetang
While MODU High’s samgyetang menu boasts twelve signature variations, we tried the classic Yang Vitality (S$52) samgyetang and a new item, Truffle (S$48) samgyetang.
Each samgyetang comes in a set comprising radish kimchi, in-house red dipping sauce, salt and pepper, minari salad, and glutinous rice. The best part of it all? These side dishes and condiments are all refillable! Adding on to the authentic experience of indulging in samgyetang, a small cup of soju will also be given to mix with this herbal broth.
Opening the tender steamed chicken submerged in rich broth, we loved how easy it was to peel tender meat off the bone. Not to mention our pleasant surprise to see a scoop of shiny glutinous rice in the chicken, as we thought our side plate of glutinous rice would be all.
Dubbed the “super‑food” bowl, the Yang Vitality samgyetang pairs the classic broth with Yagwanmun—a rare Korean herb celebrated for liver support—and an extra dose of ginseng. As for the Truffle, you’ll have black truffle grinded in front of you, adding a more performative experience to your meal. Once mixed in the soup, the truffle remains an underlying flavour, allowing MODU High’s 12-hour broth to still shine.
Dessert
At the end of our meal, the delicate dessert of cinnamon yakgwa (Korean honey cookie) and jujube tea (S$20) was served.
If we were to compare it to a relatable dish, the yakgwa tasted like churros! Sweet and punchy, it felt like we were eating churros in a pretty biscuit form. As for the jujube tea, we imagined this to be compatible with heavy lovers of herbal ingredients, as we did find it a little bitter—much like any other herbal ingredient.
Opening Promotions
To celebrate its grand opening, MODU High has teamed up with the neighboring dessert boutique Tofu G Amoy. Every dine‑in guest will receive a complimentary Tofu G gelato voucher, redeemable for any of the shop’s plant‑based flavors while stocks last.
Whether you’re after an energy‑boosting bowl, a luxurious broth, or simply a serene spot to unwind, MODU High invites you to sit, sip, and savor a piece of Korean heritage re‑imagined for today’s palate.
