Fans of all things Korean, we’ve got great news for you: the first LOTTE Mart Express has opened in Singapore! The popular South Korean hypermart chain has brought over many of its top snacks, beverages and more, all of which occupy a small section of VivoCity‘s FairPrice Xtra.

There’s even a section of the store dedicated to Korean instant noodles, with notable brands such as Buldak, Nongshim, and Samyang well-stocked on the shelves. There’s a self-cooking station should you choose to enjoy your noodles on the spot!
Next to the wall of ramyeon is the food station Yorihada Kitchen, where popular Korean street snacks are made fresh-to-order.
We hear that Eomuk ($5.90), Gimbap ($4.90), and Tteokbokki ($5.90) are some of the options available there. We’ll update this article as soon as we get more info about other exciting offerings at LOTTE Mart Express.
In other Korean food news, the recently opened Korea Culture at Changi Airport has a deal worth checking out. Any main dish you order gets you unlimited servings of Häagen-Dazs ice cream and banchan. There are over 20 different kinds of banchan available here!
You may also want to consider the $16.90++ Korean Griddle Buffet at POCHA Tampines. This buffet makes use of a Korean griddle, an iron appliance used to grill the various meats and vegetables by the table. This gives off a similar effect to what you would expect from a Korean BBQ experience, where the grilled items come with a smoky flavour.
For a non-buffet version of this Korean griddle setup, read our SOT Korean Restaurant review.
