Cha Ppong

$15.80 · 22 Reviews

• NI Pizza - Sweet Potato ($18.90++)
Sweet potato paste, baked in a toritilla based mozeralla cheese, honey, served with whipped cream.

• Cha Ppong
Classic seafood jjamppong, with a perfect kick, mussel, squid & prawns topped with chives and quail egg.

• Mala Ppong (Dry)
Wok fried with pork, cabbages and shimeji mushroom.

my go-to place to satisfy my jjamppong cravings 🍜super flavourful with strong wokhei and the noodles are so perfectly chewy and springy 💯 even at level 1 spice, it still provides a real addictive fiery kick that makes you crave for more. it came with a generous portion of bulgogi beef which was v tender but on the sweeter side. would stick to the regular cha ppong instead!

price: $16.90

the cha ppong was quite disappointing for me in my opinion! despite having the wok hey taste in the broth, it was too much for a bowl of jjamppong 😳 got a spicy level 2 (highest lvl) and it wasn’t as spicy as i thought it would be hahahah but that’s because i’ve tried spicier jjamppongs. however, definitely a comfortable kick!!!😛🌶 noodles were great though — super springy & chewy!!!🥰

rate: 6.5/10

Serving is large.. Noodles springy and nice wok-hey tasting spicy soup. Will go back again..

It’s carbs attack at Nipong Naepong! Although this place is famous for their jjamppong (Korean-Chinese noodles), the dish that blew me off is the Sweet Potato Ni Pizza ($17.90), which comes with a thin layer of sweet potato purée baked on a crisp tortilla base and topped with cheese. The taste is on point and it is not jelak at all - didn’t expect this combi to work so well:D! The noodles are not bad too - it has a nice chewy texture. Jjajangmyeon ($13.90) is topped with minced pork, onion and quail eggs in a delicious black bean sauce. The stir-fried noodles with seafood, Tae Ppong ($16.90), is infused with wok hei. Cha Ppong ($16.90) is the classic jjamppong in a robust spicy seafood soup. Lastly, we also had the Soi Chicken Risotto ($12.90) which reminded me of fried rice with a good dose of wok hei. Totally overloaded on carbs for the night, but this is perfect for hungry days😎

Loved this! Broth was packed with seafood flavour and noodles were springy. Choice of spice level 1 or 2. 1 was almost too spicy for me. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the ppong flavours!
Psst: They're having 12% off a la carte dishes till X'mas.

Last burpple 1for1 before it gone.
My favourite pong with spicy level 2.

A classic seafood jjamppong that comes with 2 levels of spiciness. I’ve chosen level 1 and I can already feel the heat. The broth has strong wok-hei flavor and is also filled with lots of cabbage. It contains two quail eggs too!

Keu Ppong Cream ($17.90++)
This is meant for the cheese lovers! It is extremely creamy and can get jelak after a few mouths. So it is good for sharing!

Rating: 4/5

Cha Ppong ($15.80++)
Beware of the heat! We ordered Spicy level 1 and it was already spicy. Not a choice for those that can’t take it. But a good broth with a taste of wok hei!

Rating: 4/5

Tip: order these 2 and mix up the flavor! We actually took the noodles of the creamy Keu Ppong and mix it with the soup of Cha Ppong! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The portion is huge so would encourage all to buy a few flavors and share. Hope to see the restaurant coming up with meat options in their Ppongs though! Instead of just seafood.

Would recommend to try!
