Jeong jjajang is our latest go-to joint for authentic and inexpensive Korean food these days. Besides the much raved jjajangmyeon, they also serve a really good jjampong.

The key to a good bowl of Jjampong or Korean spicy seafood noodles soup is the seafood or pork based soup broth. Jeong Jjajang's soup broth is tantalisingly addictive. You can taste both the signature feisty peppery notes of the gochugaru and the subtly sweetness of seafood in every spoonful of their fiery red broth. I know some of you may equate stomach churning spicy to enjoyment but the spice level of Jeong’s broth is manageable and enjoyable.

Each bowl of Jjampong also comes topped with a generous serving of shrimps, squid and mussels. You will definitely not regret making a trip down to this ulu kopitiam in Bukit Merah!
