    A Bowl of Comfort

    To many Singaporeans, Korean cuisine is synonymous with sizzling barbecue and bold kimchi flavours. Yet nestled within CHIJMES is BOMUL Samgyetang, a Korean restaurant that offers a gentler, wellness-focused dining experience. Founded by Korean native Jackson Lee, the restaurant specialises in one of Korea's most cherished comfort foods: samgyetang – a whole young chicken delicately simmered in a nourishing ginseng broth. Traditionally enjoyed during Korea's hottest summer days, the dish reflects the Korean philosophy of iyeol chiyeol (이열치열), or "fighting heat with heat", where consuming hot food is believed to restore energy, strengthen the body, and bring balance. At BOMUL Samgyetang, every bowl is a comforting taste of Korean tradition and well-being.
