Why Everyone’s Talking About Kimchi Mama
Kimchi Mama brings warm, home-style Korean comfort food to the heart of Bugis. Prices start from $5.90, with eight sizzling Hotstone Rice bowls, hearty stews, and playful sides that are easy to love. Every meal comes with free-flow banchan (4–5 varieties daily), so you can snack and share while waiting for those hotstone bowls to crackle.
Hot tip: Say “I Am Kimchi Mama” to any staff and enjoy 50% off on selected signatures (details below). Limited time. While stocks last.
The Signature Stew That Feels Like a Hug
Kimchi Mama Stew Pot ($25.90, serves 2–3)
The headline act. A bubbling pot of rich, tangy kimchi stew that is slow-cooked for depth and body. It blends two types of kimchi—fresh and cooked—in a nourishing chicken broth for layers of flavour: garlicky, gingery, and deeply umami. Choose tender beef or spicy chicken. It’s low-carb, hearty, and perfect for sharing.
Why we like it:
-
Slow-cooked broth = serious depth
-
Two kimchis = balanced tang + spice
-
Shareable for 2–3 pax, great value
Eight Ways to Sizzle: Hotstone Rice Bowls
Hotstone Kimchi Beef Steak Rice ($14.90)
A fan favourite. Succulent beef steak, spicy-savory kimchi, a golden egg yolk, and crispy rice bits on sizzling hotstone rice. The signature Mama Sauce meets the scorching bowl and sizzles dramatically, releasing a mouth-watering aroma. The staff mix it at your table for that crispy-chewy-saucy bite.
What to expect:
-
Protein-forward twist (not classic bibimbap)
-
Crispy rice edges you’ll chase to the last spoon
-
Oozy yolk for that luxe finish
Hotstone Cheesy Spicy Chicken Rice ($12.90)
Tender spicy chicken and gooey melted cheese blanket hotstone rice. Every spoonful is a textural party: tobiko pop, crispy rice crunch, juicy chicken, and sweet corn.
Make it your way (4 fun styles):
-
Eat it as is for classic comfort.
-
Wrap with seaweed (+$1.80) for a grab-and-go bite.
-
Top with corn cheese (+$6.90) for extra ooze.
-
Add Korean fried chicken (+$8.90) for a protein boost.
More Warm Bowls & Stews
Spicy Kimchi & Clams Soondubu ($11.90)
Silky tofu swims in a bold, spicy kimchi broth enriched with fresh clams for ocean-sweetness in every slurp. This uses cooked kimchi only, so the soup lands slightly spicier than the signature stew pot. Cozy, briny, and very slurpable.
Mama “Shake Shake” Rice Balls ($5.90)
Served in a metal dosirak (traditional Korean lunchbox), this is a hands-on throwback. Shake to mix, then roll into bite-size balls. Kid-friendly and nostalgia-packed for adults.
Small Plates, Big Cravings
-
Eomuk Fries ($6.90)
They look like fries but are actually Korean fishcake strips fried till golden. Choose Cheese (non-spicy) or Paprika (spicy). Protein-packed and wildly addictive. -
Boneless Chikin ($8.90 for 5 pcs)
Bite-sized fried chicken, a la minute, so it’s piping hot with crisp batter and juicy meat. Sauces: Soy Garlic, Sweet & Spicy, Honey Garlic, Cheese.
-
Corn Cheese ($6.90)
Sweet corn under a blanket of stretchy cheese. Pair with Eomuk Fries, Kimchi Pancake, Honey Garlic Crispy Rice Cake, or upgrade your hotstone bowl with extra ooze.
Drinks With K-Drama Feels (All $3.90)
Inspired by the romantic drama When Life Gives You Tangerines, the drinks are bright, citrusy, and refreshing:
Iced Tangerine & Orange Tea, Iced Tangerine & Peach Tea, Iced Green Grape & Lemon Tea, Iced Tangerine & Pomegranate Tea.

The Story Behind “Kimchi Mama”
The tale starts in the 1960s on Jeju Island. A little girl helped her omma make kimchi and dreamed aloud: “I’ll make the most loved kimchi in the world.” She grew up refining the classics, inventing new flavours, and building a menu that felt like grandma’s kitchen—hug-in-a-bowl stews, Hotstone Bowls, and kimchi that’s bold yet familiar. That spirit lives on at Bugis+: warm, generous, and a little bit rebellious.
