review of O.BBa BBQ is available here), serving Korean Chinese cuisine.

Korean movie or drama lovers will
easily recognise these popular Korean Chinese dishes. Most of the Korean
Chinese cuisine can be traced the origin from the Northern side of China, like
Beijing and Shandong. However, the Korean has made it their own by stamping
their style in these dishes.
Jajangmyeon ($10 lunch / $12
dinner & +2 Upsize). A thick Chinese style noodle dish topped with sweet bean
sauce. The ingredients in the sauce also include diced pork, onions and
vegetables. Before you eat the noodle, make sure you mix the sauce evenly into
the noodle.

The noodle is thick and silky,
while the dark bean sauce is sweet and whet your appetite. Since most of the ingredients
coated in strong dark sauce, it is difficult to tell the difference between the
diced pork and the diced vegetables. The uniqueness of the Jajangmyeon is that sweet
bean sauce is so addictive, you can’t stop slurping it until the last strand of
noodle. It is also normal in Korea that they finished off the sauce with white
rice. Yummy.

The side dishes served at OBJ
include the yellow pickled radish, kimchi and Sichuan vegetables. I like the yellow
pickle as it is not spicy and taste like the Japanese version, good to wash off
the sweetness of the noodle and the “jelakness” from the next dish.

Tangsuyuk ($25) Sweet and Sour
Pork Korean style. Unlike the Chinese version, the pork here is not diced,
instead, it is cut in strips about the length of your fingers. It is then
coated in potato starch for the extra crispiness. The sweet and sauce normally
serve separately and only poured on the pork after your approval.

The version at OBJ is super
crispy exterior, but pork strips remain juicy internally. The marinade of the
pork is on the light side, and the sauce tasted sweet, with a little hit of
tanginess.

Gunmandu ($10 for 8pcs). Fried
dumplings or deep-fried dumplings to be precise. It has a crispy exterior with
moist and juicy pork and vegetable fillings. The skin of the dumpling is as
thick as Chinese dumplings, it seals the juice inside the dumplings nicely.

Jjamppong ($12 lunch / $14 dinner).
It is their version of Chinese Noodle Seafood Soup. This dish uses the same type
of noodle as Jajangmyeon, while the soup is normally red due to the red pepper
added, it boasts a generous portion of seafood. One of Tracy’s favourite dish.
The décor of the restaurant is
simple, filled with square tables which usually sits 2 or 4 persons. We have there
a few times, I find that a major renovation is due to spruce up the place. Service
is friendly but OBJ usually understaffed.
Overall, OBJ still served one of
the better Korean Chinese Food in Singapore. Their Jajangmyeon is delicious and
they open till 3 AM is definitely a plus point. Gun Bae!! Cheers!!
