Ming Jia Korean Food: Fast & satisfying
We stumbled upon this hole-in-a-wall restaurant at Bukit Timah Plaza last year. If you enter the shopping centre via the grove of trees under the flyover, it'd be hard not to see it. It's a pokey place and the owner looks fierce, but the food is tasty and worth a try!
For about $5 onwards, you can get anything from a bento-type meal (pre-cooked bulgogi meats with rice and veg) to Bi Bim Bap and my new-found favourite dish - Korean Jajangmyeon aka Zha Jiang Mian!
The dark-coloured sauce is filled with potatoes, onions and little bits of meat, garnished with a small portion of thinly shredded cucumbers. The noodles are purportedly homemade with flour imported from Korea and taste unusually good. Nice springy texture with good bite and flavour. It would probably be one of those things I'd fit into my weekly must-eats if Bukit Timah Plaza wasn't so out of the way for me (unless Mky is on another of her Fairprice Finest supermarket runs).
Mky: Definitely a go-to place for yummy home-cooked Korean food, especially when on an austerity drive. Love the bibimbap with its fresh pile of veggies (Ming Jia's version has shredded curly lettuce which I like!) and the side of wakame soup that comes with it. Healthy and refreshing!
