Trying Out O.BBa Jjajang Express

Jjajangmyeon

I'm not sure if this applies to all of their outlets, but the stall at the Taste Orchard building where OG used to be has one of its screens displaying Michelin signage. It turns out though that this place isn't Michelin-listed. Instead, it was featured in a video and blog post by Michelin when they interviewed the Michelin-starred chef from Meta on where he likes to eat, one of which is the original restaurant that this stall spun out of. Anyway, I figured that it would make for a fast lunch, especially while I'm still on this recent fascination with jjajangmyeon.

It's too bad then that this didn't get me excited, mainly because the taste of the onions was not as pronounced as at Paik Jong Won's shop. Don't get me wrong, one definitely tastes the onion finish at the end of it, but I wanted it more upfront, whereas this one bored me. Well, I'm hardly an expert on this stuff, and maybe the original shop and/or whatever the Meta guy ordered was different. But I'll get something different if I come back.

Never had the jjajang here but their jjampong is great, normally a single bowl is enough for two. (at the main restaurant)
