Food
Corn Dogs
Korean corn dogs are a delightful twist on traditional hot dogs, featuring a crispy fried batter on a stick topped with options like mayo, sugar, ketchup, mustard, or cheese. What sets them apart is their batter, Korean versions use a yeasted batter and panko breadcrumbs, while American corn dogs typically use cornmeal and eggs.
At Bubblin’, we ordered the Cheese Corn Dog, which was a fusion of a satisfying crunch on the outside and a delicious burst of melted cheese within. Served with tomato ketchup, it made for a perfect appetiser, offering a fulfilling start to the meal. The Chicken Corn Dog, filled with sausage, was equally delectable. The Corn dogs were served with Potato Wedges, which was something we typically don’t see being served with this dish at other places. However, it provided a tasty complement to the dish.
Our rating: 8/10
Korean Fried Chicken
Korean Fried Chicken, known as “치킨” (chikin) in Korea, encompasses a variety of fried chicken dishes popularized in South Korea, including the traditional ‘huraideu’-chicken and the spicy ‘yangnyeom’ chicken. In South Korea, fried chicken is enjoyed as a meal, appetizer, or even as a late-night snack. As chicken enthusiasts, we ordered the Korean Fried Chicken dish which was served piping hot and perfectly seasoned. While the flavour was undeniably delicious, we found ourselves wishing for boneless chicken pieces for easier enjoyment. Nevertheless, the taste was amazing, making it a dish worth trying.

Drinks
Taiwanese Bubble Tea
During the early 1980s, Taiwan introduced the world to bubble tea, a delightful tea-based beverage. While you can customise it with various toppings such as red beans, grass jelly, popping boba, or aloe vera, bubble tea is traditionally enjoyed with tea and chewy tapioca balls. We tried the Taiwanese Bubble Tea with Tapioca Pearl, which was refreshingly cold. It was an absolute delight; the tapioca pearls provided the perfect level of chewiness, and the popping boba delivered a burst of flavour with each sip.
Our rating: 9.5/10
Watermelon Bubble Tea
Watermelon Bubble Tea is a refreshing soda-based drink with a hint of watermelon flavour and popping pearls as a fun topping. Following the staff’s recommendation, we opted for passion fruit-flavoured popping pearls, adding a tropical twist. While watermelon is perfect for summer, combining it with passion fruit may create a confusing flavour profile. In our view, both flavours shine better on their own. Nevertheless, we appreciate the sweetness and fizzy texture of this soda-based beverage, making it a delightful treat overall.
Our rating: 6.5/10
