93 Tanjong Pagar Road.

Walking by this stretch of jap and korean chains always make me extremely hungry, so finally we found ourselves here! Got the half and half, and was pleasantly surprised by how they shared so many complimentary sides for us (pasta salad, kimchi, ice lemon tea e.g.)

The bouncy noodles goes really well for both Jajangmyeon (jjm) and jamppong

The jjm, i felt, was sweeter than the savoury ones I'm used to. The cameralised brown onions are definitely good, though minced meat remains elusive. (wish its a more meaty dish). Meanwhile the jamppong checked all the boxes, with generous squids, clams, and also a small bit of crayfish. Its also tangy in its spiciness. Good to mix up the taste!!

($16 for the mixed)

Cheesy + fried chicken, who would resist the temptation?!

@hongjjajang_official offers cheesy chicken or cheesy rice cake with a top up of chicken which we go for the latter. It was way too much for two ladies to finish those up but surprisingly the cheese ain't jelat (sick of eating) at all!!

Price: $38
Worh it: 😋 😋 😋 😋
Location: Tanjong Pagar (the red container door!!)

Chance upon this hidden gem along Tanjong Pagar Road that makes your trip worthwhile! After we received the side dishes, we were so amazed by the variety provided. The black bean noodles were springy and soaked up the sauce really well allowing for the dish to feel really satisfying and complete!

Love the fact that they keep the Jjajang away from the myeon but the jjajang tasted burnt..

Great greens and kimchis by the side!

The chicken was so well-cooked that its bones were soft enough to eat. The warm Soup was comfort after a Long day as well. It felt good to just sit and sip on this soup, while we munched on the multiple Free side dishes that just kept landing on our table.
What’s amazing is that even with additional orders of Jjajang Mian, our bill was sub $70, meaning we had a grand total of 6 huge dishes at a STEAL. Great value for money, and I’ll be back again.
