Nipong Naepong (Jem)

Just as slurpy, the Italian-inspired “Ppong” packed a good tinge of heat. Spiked with white wine, the soup-ish dish was savoury, hearty and belly-warming. However, topped with briny plump clams, mussels, cabbage, fragrant garlic, and chili, the Vongole Ppong ($20.90/ Ala carte) lacked a little oomph as the broth was pretty mild-tasting on a whole.

*Ade Set ($59.90/ 500 ml)

A night of true carb overload, we got the Ade Set ($59.90/ 500 ml) and ordered the top-seller Seafood Ro PPong-Roje ($22.90/ Ala carte) and Vongole Ppong ($20.90/ Ala carte). Super decadent, the Seafood Ro PPong-Roje was a crowd-pleasing mix of chewy noodles covered in a warm creamy “pink” sauce topped with shrimp, tobiko, mussels, and shredded mozzarella cheese. The slight tanginess from the tomato puree helped counter as well as balance the heavy cream base. Overall, a very rich (best to share as it gets cloying towards the end), fun and safe number with a fresh assortment of seafood.

Haven't been to Nipong Naepong in a hot minute but I am glad the Ni Pizza - Sweet Potato ($20.90/ Ala carte) was still as satisfying as before. Who knew that sweet potato would go so well with melted cheese?! The piping hot tortilla base with the smooth housemade sweet potato puree and accompanying whipped cream weren’t all that cloying or greasy either. The sweet and savoury combo was surprisingly light as both the crispy crust and the layer of filling were pleasantly thin. The taste of the sweet potato and cheese was also relatively mild so the added sweetness and milkiness from the cool fluffy cream was very much welcomed.

We got the ADE SET ($64.90) which comes with 2 ppongs, 1 pizza & 1litre ade. Most worth it option imo esp if you’re two big eaters/three pax. We got
🍠Ni Pizza
🥛Lychee Yoghurt Ade
🍜Vongole Ppong
🍅Beef Ro ppong (+$2) - rosé cream based!!

It's alright, it's not as greasy as it looks. The very common sweet garlic cheesy taste profile, reasonably mild. Not particularly awe inspiring I'd say, if you like this flavour combi then by all means

Went to Nipong Naepong and ordered their Rose Tteokbokki ($17.90) and their Seafood Chapong ($20.90)!😇 All items were before GST and service charge. Second time here and I really like their rose tteokbokki🥰

Overall ratings 8/10 as its on the steeper side and they dont serve iced water😅 Would visit again when im craving for the tteokbokki!
