Fuel Your Fun: The Ultimate Korean Food Guide for Waterbomb

Waterbomb is almost here, and between the splashing, singing, and dancing, you’ll need some serious fuel to keep the party going. And what’s better than diving into the fiery, sizzling, and ultra-comforting world of Korean food?

We’ve rounded up the ultimate Korean eats near some of your favourite hangouts — perfect for pre-gaming, mid-event pit stops, or post-Waterbomb feasts. Bonus? With Eatigo, you can score amazing deals while you feast.

1. 90 Minutes – Korean Tteokbokki Hotpot Buffet @ Bras Basah

If Waterbomb is the main stage, this place is the spicy headliner. 90 Minutes offers all-you-can-eat tteokbokki hotpot, bubbling away with chewy rice cakes, fish cakes, ramyeon, fried goodies, and even cheese for that perfect stretchy melt.

The buffet setup means you can build your pot exactly how you like it — go classic with sweet-spicy sauce or turn up the heat with extra chili paste. It’s a communal, laughter-filled dining experience that pairs perfectly with festival hype.

Eatigo Pro Tip: Snag an off-peak booking for up to 50% off. That’s basically like getting your soju for free.

2. Seorae Korean Charcoal BBQ @ NEX

If the Waterbomb performances have you craving something smokier than the stage pyrotechnics, Seorae’s galmaegisal (premium pork skirt meat) is a must-try. This tender, juicy cut is grilled over charcoal for that authentic K-BBQ flavour.

The menu also features rich kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew), spicy cold noodles, and banchan that keep coming until you wave the white flag.

Eatigo Pro: Round up your friends, book via Eatigo, and split the savings — more meat, less money.

3. Bulgogi Syo @ Woodleigh Mall

Dining here is part meal, part performance. Bulgogi Syo’s signature is its three-step cooking process: seared on a hotplate, flamed dramatically for smokiness, and finished to perfection.

Every order comes with that unmistakable sizzle and aroma — the kind that makes other tables stare in envy. The bulgogi is tender, the marinades are balanced, and the overall experience is a little bit “celebrity chef” without the celebrity prices.

Eatigo Deal: Book during off-peak and you’ll feel like you just scored a backstage pass — premium treatment without the premium bill.

4. POCHA! Korean Street Dining @ Tampines

If the pulsating beats of Waterbomb leave you craving the bustling nightlife of Seoul, POCHA! will take you there — no plane ticket needed. Step inside and you’re greeted with neon-lit décor, retro metal tables, and K-pop music videos looping in the background. It’s the kind of place where you linger long after the plates are empty.

On the menu, expect street food staples that could rival those of Hongdae night markets. The army stew (budae jjigae) bubbles away with instant noodles, spam, sausages, baked beans, and melty cheese — pure comfort in a pot. Feeling adventurous? Try the spicy chicken feet (dakbal), a fiery, chewy snack beloved by late-night eaters in Korea. Wash it down with a beer tower or a round of soju bombs to keep the festival buzz going.

Eatigo Deal: Book through Eatigo for up to 50% off during off-peak hours — that means more budget for a second round of soju or that Waterbomb merch you’ve been eyeing.

5. CU MR BULL @ One North

Sometimes after hours of water fights and dancing, all you want is hearty, soul-hugging food that hits the spot. CU MR BULL delivers just that with generous portions, sizzling hotplates, and classic Korean comfort dishes that feel like a warm hug from the inside.

The beef bulgogi here is tender and savoury-sweet, served with caramelised onions and perfectly cooked rice. Their cheesy kimchi fried rice is a crowd favourite — the tangy kimchi cuts through the richness, while the molten cheese ties everything together in a glorious gooey mess. For something lighter but equally satisfying, go for their bibimbap topped with a fried egg, crunchy vegetables, and spicy gochujang sauce.

Eatigo Deal: Score a booking on Eatigo during off-peak slots and enjoy big discounts, so you can order that extra sharing platter without thinking twice.

6. Hongdae Korean BBQ @ Tanjong Pagar

Ask any K-BBQ aficionado and they’ll tell you: Hongdae Korean BBQ is where the magic happens. True to its namesake — one of Seoul’s hottest nightlife districts — this spot delivers authentic, no-shortcuts BBQ that’s all about quality and abundance.

The grill here works overtime, loaded with everything from samgyeopsal (pork belly) to yangnyeom galbi (marinated beef short ribs), each cut searing to perfection. Pair them with fresh lettuce wraps, garlic, ssamjang (savory dipping paste), and an endless rotation of banchan like kimchi, japchae, and pickled radish.

The best part? The friendly staff will often help with the grilling, ensuring your meat is cooked just right — no charred mishaps while you’re distracted talking about your favourite Waterbomb performance.

Eatigo Deal: Book through Eatigo to lock in up to 50% savings — perfect for a big post-festival feast where you want more meat, more sides, and more soju without the scary bill.

7. Kkoko Sing Korean Fusion Cuisine @ Joo Chiat

If you think you’ve tried it all, Kkoko Sing is here to surprise you. This fusion-forward eatery blends traditional Korean flavours with creative, unexpected twists that will have you doing a double take.

Start with their kimchi cream pasta — a velvety, slightly tangy creation that’s both familiar and fresh. Then move on to their Korean fried chicken, available in glazes you won’t find anywhere else — think honey-garlic truffle or spicy mango. And if you’re a tteokbokki lover, their tteokbokki-inspired snack platters will keep you dipping and munching all night.

The décor is as playful as the menu, with colourful murals, upbeat music, and a casual vibe that invites you to relax. It’s the kind of place where a “quick dinner” can easily turn into hours of chatting, laughing, and ordering “just one more” dish.

Eatigo Deal: Secure an Eatigo slot and enjoy generous discounts, leaving you with extra cash for dessert or a late-night snack run after the festival.
