Singapore’s culinary scene got a touch of Korean luxury with the arrival of MODU, the island’s first and only premium Samgyetang specialty restaurant.
Located in the prestigious Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road, MODU isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Think of it as the “Hermès” of Samgyetang—a perfect blend of luxury, health, and cultural heritage.
An Elevated Dining Experience
MODU redefines Korean wellness cuisine, offering an exclusive and high-class atmosphere. Step inside, and you’ll be transported to a modern Hanok-inspired interior, a serene and intimate space designed for pure culinary bliss. For those seeking a more private experience, MODU offers VIP dining rooms with stunning views of Orchard Road.
What makes MODU so special?
MODU brings boyang-sik (Korean restorative cuisine) to Singapore, focusing on nutritious, slow-cooked dishes crafted with premium ingredients like specially sourced ginseng and free-range chicken.
MODU’s every Samgyetang broth is simmered for eight hours, allowing the rich flavours of ginseng, jujube, and chicken to fully develop. The result? A deeply nourishing and luxurious soup that’s both comforting and health-boosting.
Signature Dishes
MODU takes traditional Korean wellness cuisine to the next level with six unique Samgyetang variations, each crafted to cater to different tastes and preferences.
– Collagen Herbal Samgyetang (S$35++): A nourishing, collagen-rich soup infused with premium herbs for a deeply restorative experience.
– Hangover Samgyetang (S$37++): This is our top pick! Designed to combat post-drinking fatigue, this version comes with a spicy broth made from a secret house chili blend. The heat is meant to work up sweat, help flush out toxins, and wake up your senses. Plus, it’s one of Singapore’s few spicy Samgyetang options.
– Black Chicken Samgyetang (S$37++): This is the cleanest-tasting option, featuring a whole spring chicken stuffed with glutinous rice. Black chicken (ogol-gye) is known for its higher nutrient content and leaner texture, making it a nourishing choice.
– Perilla Seed Samgyetang (S$38++): A unique take on the classic, enriched with ground perilla seeds that give it a thicker, gruel-like consistency and a distinctive nutty aroma.
– Black Sesame Samgyetang (S$38): A bold and flavorful twist featuring black sesame for an added layer of richness.
– Beauty Samgyetang (S$37++): Packed with medicinal herbs, this version promotes wellness and enhances skin health, helping you achieve that coveted glass-skin glow.
Of course, in addition to Samgyetang, MODU offers a variety of appetizers, sharing dishes, and desserts!
We highly recommend the Enoki Fries (S$12++), Potato Pancakes (S$18++/3pcs) and Chicken Gizzard Popcorn (S$18++)—trust us, these dishes are nothing like what you’d expect. Get ready for a delightful surprise!
To celebrate the opening, MODU is also offering the 2-Gather Set Menu for Two (S$98++), which includes two Samgyetang, a MODU Appetizer, one sharing dish, and dessert to share.
Pair It with Premium Korean Liquors
MODU’s curated selection of premium Korean liquors—from traditional rice wines to fruit-infused soju—perfectly complement your Samgyetang experience.
Book in Advance for an Exclusive Experience
With limited seating, including classic Korean counter dining and private VIP rooms, reservations are highly recommended—especially on weekends. Given its prime Orchard Road location, securing a table early is essential.
