Pocha In A Forest: Korean Street Food Tent Bistro In Dhoby Ghaut To Fulfill Your K-Drama Dreams

Pocha in a Forest on Prinsep Street

Take a trip to Korea without having to fly there when you visit Pocha In A Forest. Run by a Singaporean-Korean duo, Pocha In A Forest is a new bistro situated on Prinsep Street, serving a range of authentic Korean street food and drinks.Ā

What makes them stand out from the crowd is their pojangmachaā”the iconic red tents you see in all K-dramas. If you didnā€™t know, pojangmacha are small, tented street stalls, typically found along the streets of Korea, serving local street food such as tteokbokki, hotteok, and more.Ā 

We canā€™t go to Korea right now, so Pocha In A Forest has brought the experience right here, complete with a red tent, yellow plastic chairs, and tiny metal tables.

Chomp on Dried Pollack Fish ($12), Fried Prawn Head ($12), and Chicken Heart Skewers ($12) when you dine in the pojangmacha, and order yourself a signature Ice Beer ($15 a pint) to wash it all down. Pocha In A Forest claims to be the first Korean eatery in Singapore to serve this. The glass is pre-frozen before serving, which causes the foam to form icicles on the outside of the glass.Ā 

Otherwise, Pocha In A Forest also serves a range of soju ($18) and makgeolli (from $24), for those who prefer these drinks to beer.

Bar bites and drinks aside, try their Kimchi Fried Rice ($15) or Fish Cake Soup ($16) for a substantial and comforting meal. If not, opt for the Kimchi Pizza ($18), served with a tomato base, and topped with bacon, kimchi, and cheese. However, do note that these items are only available at dinner.

If you are hankering for a Korean meal during lunchtime, Pocha In A Forest has lunch specials, including Spicy Instant Noodle ($12), Bibimbap ($16), and Stir Fried Noodles ($14). For something light and perfect for sharing, try their selection of kimbap, which come with either vegetables ($7), tuna ($9), or beef ($11)Ā fillings.

If youā€™re just dropping into Pocha In A Forest for the pint or two, consider popping over to 90 Minutes for a tteokbokki buffet ahead of that! Thereā€™s dessert at PlusEightTwo too, which is conveniently located along Prinsep Street as well.

Address: 36 Prinsep Street, #01-01, Singapore 188648
Opening hours: Mon 3pm to 10:30pm, Tue-Sun, 12pm to 10:30pm
Tel: 8486 3857
