Initially wanted the budae jiggae instead but due to a mistake on our part, we ended up ordering the tteokbokki jiggae. Since the latter didn’t come with ramyeon, we added an extra serving of ramyeon as well as Raclette cheese. It’s a pity that the Raclette cheese wasn’t wheeled out on the spot to us but prepared behind, serving it to us in a bowl instead 😞. With a choice of spicy/ nonspicy soup base and pork/seafood, we chose the former for both options. The tteokbokki jiggae (as the name suggests) came with assorted colorful tteokbokki (korean rice cakes) some of which are filled! I especially fancy the purple sweet potato one (swipe to view) which is soft, chewy and filled with creamy and sweet sweet potato fillings. The other flavours available are cheese(white) pumpkin(yellow) along with plain(non filled). The pork slices were tender and juicy with minimal layers of fats. Along with sausages, luncheon meat, mushrooms, cabbage, spring onions, fishcake, the broth was flavourful, spicy but not too overwhelming, though it could get quite salty after awhile. Free refill of soup is provided as well! ✨ As for the Raclette cheese, it had a pungent, acute cheesy flavour that might not be suited for the faint hearted. Though I personally felt it was a good combination with the ramyeon! 💛 // .
A rather awkward dining experience at the Jurong Point outlet, with many stares on us since the shop was rather empty on a Friday afternoon. That being said, the staff were frantically trying to clear our utensils and bowls when we weren’t done with the food 😞 .
