Super Reds Football Club is a South Korean professional soccer club which was formed to play as a foreign team in Singapore's S.League in 2007.
The creation of the club was driven by the Korean community in Singapore. Parties involved in the governance of the club include the Korean Association of Singapore, and the Korean business community and Korean embassy in Singapore. The club's founding Chairman and coach is the Korean football guru Hong In Woong, who was previously the Technical Director of Sporting Afrique FC.
The club was originally known as Korean Super Reds FC, but changed its name to Super Reds FC in August 2007.
The team play their home games at the Yishun Stadium.
Knowledge of this eating place was somewhat of a chanced discovery. We were driving along Tanjong Katong Road looking for the new ‘Miss Clarity’ (which we realized was not opened yet) and saw this brightly-lit restaurant just after the rows of shophouses and a petrol kiosk (I can’t remember which chain). Hungry, we decided to park and sniff out the venue – limited free parking is available in a little lane behind the restaurant (diners can also enjoy a free car wash at the petrol station).
Two friendly staff greeted us at the door as we checked out their menu on the stand. I took a peek into the restaurant and was skeptical about the lack of diners – except for the one alfresco table watching football on the big outdoor screen; the restaurant interior was void of customers. I hesitated but we decided to give it a chance eventually. (More customers did arrive after that but they all chose to sit outside with the huge screen.)
With the exception of some Korean dolls on the counters and the repeated Korean CD playing in the background, the clean white interior décor of the restaurant bore little resemblance to your usual Korean restaurant. But all that would not matter as long as the food was good, and it was (almost comparable to 'Ju Shin Jong' and cheaper). The menu was also similar to the latter, with various meats in the range of S$16 to S$28, and the popular sides such as kim chee pancakes and spicy soups – the restaurant seems to have lunch specials too but we were not shown the menu since it was dinnertime.
We ordered a serve of their Sirloin beef (S$28) and the seasoned beef slices (S$28) – yes, we're beef lovers. This came with an ‘off-the-menu’ complimentary plate of meat of our choice (beef, pork or chicken) – an opening promotion the one-month-old restaurant was dishing up to customers who ordered a minimum of 2 types of meat. Considering that it’s free, our promotional plate of pork was reasonably generous. You could also have the option of cooking yourself or have the server save you from the oil splatters – we chose the latter. And do not worry; they make a point to check out how well you’d like your meat done and serve you the first few pieces as testers before going full scale.
6 side dishes were served as soon as our orders were placed. This included black beans, sweet ikan bilis, bean sprouts (the small local ones instead of the usual huge one you would get), pickled seaweed, radish and cucumber kim chee and the all-time famous cabbage kim chee. What is worth mentioning is that the cabbage kim chee here is REALLY GOOD – we probably had 5 or 6 refills!! And the servers were very kind to automatically ‘monitor’ and top-up whenever we ran low. Now that’s one up for good service!
The looseleaf lettuce (for wrapping the cooked meat) was also extremely fresh! You know how some parts of the leaves can become a little brown as the restaurants washes and set them aside way beforehand in a bid to cope with the dinner rush? But that’s not the case here. The freshness was unbelievable! Every leaf of lettuce was oozing with crisp "green-ness"! Not to mention that the kind waitress was extremely quick to bring out a new plate just before my last piece was consumed. I’ll give another plus for the attentiveness!
Water (with slices of lemons) and fragrant Korean tea were served on the house. If you prefer, bottled beer is served at S$4.50 and soju cost S$25 a bottle. The opening promotion also extends to alcohol (1 free for every 4 bottles of beer, or 1 free for every 3 bottles of soju), which is perfect since the place is opened to 2am daily and there is both a TV indoors and a huge screen outdoors. Seems like a nice place to chill aside from pigging out.
So are there any down sides to the place? Well, parking is a little limited as I’d previously mentioned but if you don’t mind walking a little, there are many small lanes around the corner for parking (just be careful not to block the residents in the area). Also, I thought my boyfriend’s rice (S$1.50) was served too quickly (even before the sides) – it got cold by the time they started cooking the meat. And if you must be picky, the only payment methods were by CASH or NETS (no credit cards yet since they’re new). But the cashier did say that more options will be available later.
Overall, it was a pleasant meal! The food was good and value for money – total bill came up to S$64 for the 2 beef and complimentary pork. Service was lovely with the crew being extremely polite and attentive (other minor glitches easily overlooked)! And come on, where can you get free parking and a free car wash along with your great meal?? I say you give it a shot!
Editted to add (6 Oct 2007): Just a few details that came to mind subsequently which I decided to include in case it’ll affect your decisions to try out this place. The bbq stove in this Singaporean-Korean jointly-owned place runs on gas (those small refillable canister ones) so if you’re looking for the old-fashioned charcoal grill, this may not be the ideal place for you. But at least you don’t have to worry about smelling “smoky” when you walk out of the restaurant! Singapore News] The movie
During inquiries, the spokespeople of Golden Village indicated that Rain caused quite a big stir when he came to the lion city (Singapore) in the beginning of this year.
This movie will not only be shown in the US, but also in showings within 166 countries worldwide, including Egypt, Australia, Germany, Spain, Holland, England, Brazil, Japan and so on.
At the thought of the movie being screened in 167 countries, Rain has nothing but excitement, "Before the start of the film shoot, I kept wondering if there was even a need of me in any part of the movie. It looks like I was worrying for nothing, my parts were increased, that's just too good!"
In the movie, Rain's supporting role only had 30 minutes of acting time. But later the directors were greatly satisfied with his performance that they increased it to 50 minutes. According to South Korean reports, Rain practiced his Engilsh movie dialogues very diligently, and since the beginning of shooting, he said the dialogue was never corrected or revised, so it looked like his proficiency in English was rather effective.
