Despite spending three years completing my diploma in marketing from Singapore Polytechnic, i admit i am still drawn to common marketing tactics like cute branding; like Omo Omo!
Omo-Omo is actually a Korean word similar to "oh my" and often popped up in the many Korean dramas i watched. I first chanced upon the eatery in Star Vista but couldn't never get the chance to dine in it until a branch was set up at the expanded Northpoint City.
Order through the self-service kiosk that's similar to Flaming Don (烤丼) at Bugis Plus; such use of technology is getting increasingly common although i believe there must still be provision of a human should there be someone who just couldn't get grasp the technology.
Click the items you want, check your order, submit it, pay for the food (cashless mode), secure the receipt and wait for your food to be called.
Anticipating our food! I was actually quite hungry as it was the first meal of the day for me and i didn't exactly have much for dinner the night before.
Food was ready after about ten minutes and to get them, visit the collection counter where you can also choose from five sauces (BBQ mayo, bibimbab, cho gochujang, teriyaki and yuzu wasabi); it's actually not a must to drench your food with the sauce although the signage "play" says otherwise.
Free drink with every main purchased and you may choose from the dispenser as above. It's clearly indicated that refill is disallowed.
Ta-dah! Our meal consisting of moo-gogi, one teri-chi, two free drinks and two sides (fried ebi and soy garlic winglets). The sides were priced at S$5.00 each but with a main, you can top up at just S$4.00!
Moo-gogi - meat was bland, tough and without the spicy bibimbab sauce that gave it the required flavour to be stuffed down my throat; i half suspected its placement was purely a decorative garnish.
Teri-chi - again, i was disappointed with the meat which had the nice taste of teriyaki sauce but the chicken used tasted off. The saving grace was definitely the rice mixed in with the perfectly cooked onsen egg. To be honest, i would have given a higher review for just the rice with egg and sauce.
Fried Ebi & Garlic Soy Wings - after having the two mains, i am not looking forward to the sides but they turned out to be better than expected. The batter for the fried ebi was in fact one of the better ones i had even though the prawn tasted a bit mush; soy garlic winglets were delicious!
