Korean

Had a hearty Korean-Chinese feast at O.bba Jjajang last week! We ordered jjajangmyeon (black soybean sauce noodles), jjamppong (spicy seafood noodles soup), sweet and sour pork, deep fried chicken in hot pepper sauce and kimchi pancake, and there was more than enough food to go around for 5 pax🤤 Although it was a little pricey ($27.80 per pax), the jjajangmyeon was quite tasty and satisfying. While the sweet and sour pork could have been crunchier, the deep fried chicken in hot pepper sauce was spot on yummy and addictive - it goes really well with the jjajangmyeon👍🏻 Bonus points for the wooden cubicles that are pretty comfortable and quiet:)!

This is the 2nd time I’m back at The Book Cafe for mains, and I can’t help ordering what I had the last time again, simply because it’s very hard to resist a hearty plate of wok hei-infused Kimchi Fried Rice ($16) with chicken, shiitake mushroom and a sunny side up🙆🏻‍♀️ Love that there is an option of brown rice or Japanese rice too:)! P.S. This is non food related, but The Book Cafe has the comfiest couch ever!

The DIY lunch set from Hyang Yeon is one of the most value-for-money Korean lunch options around the CBD:)! For just $12 ($13 if you opt for brown rice), you get to select 2 main dishes, as well as your choice of kimchi, rice, sides platter and drink! Trust me, it’s super filling and I always feel like bursting after lunching there, in a good way😬 The chicken bulgogi and kimchi stew are pretty good, and I love the option of brown rice:)! Definitely a good choice if you are feeling hungry!
