Myeongdong District has Korean street food like cheesy corn dogs, fried chicken & more in Fortune Centre

by Christabel Tan

Korean street food (especially corn dogs) is all the rage nowadays. However, even though travelling to Korea is now a reality, I always look forward to visiting new and hidden establishments in Singapore. If you’re in the Bugis area, you can now get your Korean street food fix at Myeongdong District, a month-old eatery tucked away in Fortune Centre.

Take the escalator up to the second level and spot the brightly lit storefront located next to a vegetarian food stall.

The eatery mainly operates as a takeaway and delivery establishment, given that the space only sits eight (for now). Head down during off-peak hours if you want to snag a seat and enjoy your corndogs while they’re piping hot.

According to the owner, the Korean corn dogs are the most popular items on the menu. You can choose for them to be drizzled with two sauces, be it sugar, ketchup, mustard, mayo, or bulgogi mayo.

The massive Mozza Corndog (S$6), which was rolled in sugar and drizzled with ketchup, as per the chef’s recommendation, was utterly satisfying. Nothing beats the crisp, panko-crusted exterior of a corn dog fresh out of the fryer. Eat it fast if you want to achieve that stretchy cheese pull.

The more indulgent Gamja Corndog (S$6), which was drizzled with ketchup and mustard, comes with an addictive yet undeniably sinful coating of fries. In fact, you can up the ante by topping up S$0.50 for any corn dog to be coated in those crunchy potato cubes that are oh-so-good.

These are no run-of-the-mill Nacho Cheese Fries (S$4.50). Handcut cajun fries are generously slathered in a housemade nacho cheese sauce and garnished with parsley. They remind me of Popeyes’ cajun cheese fries, but way better.

For a less messy Korean fried chicken experience, order the Fried Chicken Tenders (S$5.50 for 5 pcs), that are tossed in a finger-licking yangnyeom and soy garlic sauce (I personally prefer the former — sweet and spicy is right up my alley). Myeongdong District also occasionally rolls out specials, like chicken tenders with rice or cajun fries, and a soft drink.

Last but not least, the Kimchi Pancake (S$8) with bulgogi mayo (top up S$1.50) is surprisingly moreish. It’s more chewy than crispy, with roughly chopped kimchi embedded within, and can definitely hold its own, amongst the other pajeon varieties served at authentic Korean restaurants.

Wash everything down with a refreshing iced Homemade Korean Barley Tea (S$2.50) or Homemade Citron Tea (S$3.50), and you’re all set for the day.

I can definitely foresee Myeongdong District becoming even more popular with students and office workers in the area with their trendy Korean street food offerings.
