Wonderful Bapsang, Thomson Plaza

Wonderful Bapsang, Thomson Plaza

훌륭한! This (#01-112/113/114 Thomson Plaza, 301 Upper Thomson Road, tel : +65 6908 1345) was a more wonderful bapsang than the previous Wonderful Bapsang.

Wonderful Bapsang, banchan

Of their banchan, the seaweed with gochujang and the kimchi were outstanding. The latter was nicely aged with a pronounced tanginess.

I like their kimchi jjigae donkkaseu. The broth was robust with flavour from the kimchi. We found a few pieces of pork belly fat in it so that might have contributed to the flavour.

Donkkasu was relative thin unlike Japanese tonkatsu. Meat texture was still discernable and the breading helped soak up the kimchi-ness from the broth. Nice.

Wonderful Bapsang, jjajangmyeon

I remember the last time I had jjajangmyeon. That's all the way back in Hyang To Gol. It's been that long. That one didn't leave us wanting to have more. This bowl was a much nicer eat. There appeared to be much more complexity in the bean sauce that had a flavour which reminded me a lot of lor bak. I'm gonna pay a bit more attention to jjajangmyeon after this.

Wonderful Bapsang, menu

Check out the picture of the shaven truffles for their truffles yukhoe salad. It looked too good to be true considering how much they were charging.

The actual truffles were finely shaven bits rather than slices. This actually made more sense if you needed to spread the flavour across. Underneath the marinated beef were diced avocado and some fruit. May be pear, I couldn't tell with the sauce and condiments but this was pretty nice tasting. Refreshing even.

Yeap, there's an egg inside.
