Here are my two cents🥹
I went back to Old Airport Rd Hawker Centre again for lunch and came across this relatively new Korean Stall, Wooga. I didn’t know what to eat at that time so I just went ahead and tried it (Best decision I have ever made that day😩). This Jjajangmyeon brought me back to the time I ate Jjajangmyeon in Korea🇰🇷. It was so good that it instantly became one of my favourite stalls at Old Airport Rd Hawker Centre.
Wooga Jjajangmyeon started their operations on National Day🇸🇬. Their chef is a Korean who inherited the method of cooking Jjajangmyeon from his father. Their menu features only 2 items, their signature Jjajangmyeon and Kal-guksu(Best way I can describe it is Korean Banmian). Their food is very affordable🤑, considering that most of the Korean food you can find in Singapore are located in shopping malls or town areas.
You can add $0.50 for kimchi. Their kimchi🥬does add a hint of sourness to the dish when mixed. If you don’t really like to eat kimchi or sour things, just get the original one. Make sure to mix the sauce well to enjoy the full experience of eating Jjajangmyeon.
🐷🫃Bulgogi Pork Belly Jjajangmyeon(💵$8):
I have eaten this twice. The first time was when I ordered take away and was mind-blown in my office, and the second time was when I went down to eat as I decided to post this. Upon taking my first bite, memories of eating Jjajangmyeon in a Korean shop kept flowing into my brain🥹. Each strand of noodle was coated in their sweet and savoury black bean sauce and it tasted exactly like what you would get if you were to order a bowl in Korea. The onions🧅 were cooked till it was soft and sweet, the noodles🍜 were chewy, and their bulgogi pork belly🐷 was charcoal grilled and it tasted a little like bakkwa. There was also a charred aroma cloaking the dish. I don’t know if it was from their charcoal grilled pork belly or the sauce itself but it gave the dish and extra oomph! Every part of this dish was so good I couldn’t stop slurping away at the noodles😩.
🐷Bulgogi Kal-guksu(💵$7):
I ordered this for takeaway as my office was nearby. But I will recommend that this is eaten at the hawker centre for the best experience as you don’t want to eat soggy noodles. This is a hearty and warm dish that you would eat on rainy days. I ate this in my cold ass office and was embraced by the warmth of this dish. This brought me back to when I ate Kal-guksu in May when Korea was below 20 degrees celsius🥶 and I had to look for something to keep my weak ass warm. This dish was chock-full of onion, kelp, seaweed, cucumber, and warmth🔥! The noodles were springy yet soft, and the soup was savoury with a hint of sourness. It was a really good dish that fills you with nutrients and warmth that makes you miss your loved ones’ embrace🥲.
