Korean, My Luv 🍛

It’s my first time trying JJM in a store. I’ve had instant noodles JJM before - it was so bad I decided to use the instant noodles in other recipes instead.

I might have been a little traumatised (or shocked) by the JJM I’ve tasted so far but can someone enlighten me? Please give me recommendations on good JJM!

I thought this JJM tasted way too sweet for my liking. There was barely any meat (probably found only 2-3 pieces) and some potato cubes.

However I always love Manna Story’s side dishes, especially the stewed potatoes. Yum! Try other staples like Budaejijae and Grilled meat, which I’ve tried and loved it!

This bowl was a total of $9.40 with 2 portions of chicken, and 5 different toppings!

I love that the food is healthy and you can have any variation you like on that day. I’ve tried the Bulgogi beef before which was super tender but did not taste anything like bulgogi to me, hence my choice for the Soy Chicken.

Amp it up even more with healthier options like Brown Rice and choose omega-3 rich meats like Salmon sashimi.

Fancy an authentic Korean restaurant for lunch? Hantol is one that gives you the fix you need, but hungry lunch crowds may be disappointed at the portion of the food.

The line gets long at 12pm, so come early to get your food served quickly! Note that the staffs are always in the hurry to chase you off - this place might not be suitable for chatting too since tables are placed very closely to each other.

We had a tummy warming Kimchi soup (beef, and pork) and were both very delicious! It’s not spicy to me (as a xiaola mala person), so I can safely say those who fear spicy food can try this with no fear! The soup is more on the sweet side.

Purple Korean rice was also served here, along with 3 (pathetically tiny) side dishes. Better than nothing I guess.

Request for barley tea and be surprised with an insanely small cup being charged at 50c 🤭

I had the tomato cream Nipong Naepong that comes with seafood, clams and mussels. Unfortunately I had a food poisoning the following day, we suspect it’s due to the mussels and clams.

Nonetheless I enjoyed the meal and would be going back again, except this time without shellfishes please. Foodies with sensitive stomach please be careful! 🤪
