simple and comforting korean food — a good mix of banchan as well, and that pretty much seals the deal for me. it’s pretty nice to see actual koreans behind the counter, and it makes it all feel pretty much family-run — and with almost-full occupancy on a non-weekday, you know there’s a decent thing going. we started with a great mix of banchan — all free-flow(which is great, as I get a little iffy at places that only insist on a single serving of these sides) — my favorites being the sesame-oiled green beans, spicy tofu(though a tad oily), and sauteed mushrooms. our mains arrived in pretty quick succession — a bowl each of tofu and kimchi soup, both thick and cloudy with the good stuff, and immensely flavorful; some marinated beef short plates that arrived on a hot plate with loads of cabbage(and quite a bit of fat), slightly sweet and caramelized in the best of ways; as well as squid sauteed with carrots and greens in a spicy sauce. everything was good, slightly-too-salty in a way that calls for lots of sticky korean rice in a metal bowl, and intensely flavored. it’s a largeish restaurant with well-spaced wooden tables, so you get the buzz of a friendly restaurant without needing to hear about your neighbor’s day. good place for a bit of after-work relaxation, and a well-priced korean meal.

I was back at Jang Won last week and SURPRISE !! The ddukbokki had Korean fish cake in it ! Probably I failed to realise the last time that they actually mixed in a small portion of Korean vermicelli too. It sums up to a whole plate of chewy awesomeness. It sounds like a lot of carbs, but who cares! I love it!

Tanjong Pagar is know affectionately as «little korea» with influx of korean restaurants and shops opening up there. Just stone throw away along mosque street, there are a few korean restaurants too. My friend introduced us to Jang Won Korean restaurant. I was told its a rather authentic and cosy korean eatery run by a korean family. Their food were pretty good. We enjoyed their bulgogi, kimchi pancake and ginseng chicken amongst the dishes we ordered. The meal comes to an end with a complimentary korean rice crackers and cinnamon tea. Love the crackers but I’m not a fan of the cinnamon tea. Nevertheless, enjoyed myself with good company and good food. Tho it is not as packed as its neighbor Togi, it is still popular amongst local and koreans.
