Jeong’s Jjajang – Authentic Korean Fare Tucked Away in a Bukit Merah Coffeeshop!
Korean food is always a good idea, and you can’t go wrong with classics such as jjajangmyeon, soondubu soup and kimchi pancakes. With so many options for Korean food around Singapore, it’s hard to find the right place that hits the spot, especially when it comes to stalls in hawker centres and coffee shops. Entering our radar is Jeong’s Jjiajang, which is run by a native Korean from Daegu.
The brand first started out as a cloud kitchen concept that focuses on deliveries and takeaways in Tampines North. The many requests from customers led to them setting up a brick-and-mortar stall within a coffee shop tucked away in Bukit Merah Central. The Korean chef at the helm has more than 20 years of experience working in Korean establishments.
在这里,您会发现熟悉的菜肴,例如Jjajangmyeon($ 8),Jjamppong($ 10),Kimchi Soup($ 9),Tangsuyuk($ 12)和Doenjang Soup($ 9),这些菜肴的味道像真正的价格一样。除了米饭和面条菜肴外,还包括海鲜煎饼(10美元),泡菜煎饼(10美元)和炸饺子(六件$ 5)。
There’s a weekly lunch promotion that runs from Monday to Friday that lets you snag steaming hot bowls of Jjajangmyeon at $5.90, Jjamppong at $7.90, Soondubu Soup at $6.90 and Kimchi Soup at $6.90. Now, that’s what we call a steal!
My bowl of Jjajangmyeon came with a generous serving of black bean sauce atop a bed of noodles that were handmade from scratch. Give them a good toss and chow down on the soft, chewy noodles that are cooked to perfection. The thick sauce was robust and sweet, though I would have preferred it to be slightly stronger in flavour. The flavours were made even better with the diced onions and diced pork.
I also opted for the Soondubu Soup ($9) and the piping hot bowl was filled to the brim with a deliciously spicy broth and a heap of goods just waiting to be unearthed beneath. Dig up helpings of soft, silky-smooth tofu, clams, mussels and vegetables and gobble it all down with their fluffy white rice. This is definitely a dish that will warm you to the bones.
There was also a side of sauce served that I wasn’t too sure what it was supposed to go with, but I can say I’m a fan of the sweet tanginess of it.
两道菜都伴随着泡菜的侧面和腌制的萝卜片。我觉得我必须特别提及他们,因为虽然它们看起来并不多,但他们被挑剔了,太令人上瘾了,不能只是搭配配菜。
If travelling to Korea is not on the cards for you this year, head to Jeong’s Jjajang to curb that craving for good Korean fare!
