Hi hi! Who is a fans of Korean drama? If you are, then you must be familiar with the Black Bean Noodles or Jjajangmyeon right? For those who don’t know, Jjajangmyeon is a mix Korean and Chinese cuisine which is a noodle with thick black bean soy sauce that always ordered as an take out or delivery in Korean drama. There are so many korean restaurant now in Jakarta but it’s really hard to find Jjajangmyeon especially a no-pork restaurant. But! There’s a new restaurant in Senopati that sell Jjajangmyeon and of course other Korean foods withouth pork and lizard meat, it’s Jjang-Korean Noodles and Grill!
Located at the main street of Senopati, Jjang is on the 2nd floor of Kambing Bakar Cairo and just across Born Ga Restaurant. We went there with one of our friend and it was lunch but there were only couple of seats that equipped. The place wasn’t big, actually it was pretty small but with the Korean scenery wallpaper and the wooden theme, the ambiance of Jjang will really makes you feel like you’re in Korea!
We can see that Jjang is focusing on their noodles and bbq menu because there weren’t actually that many choices neither foods nor the beverages like in other Korean restaurant. We ordered Jjajangmyeon (49k), Champong (59k), and Dak Kang Jhon with rice (49k) as main course, Pajheon (49k) as Appetizer, and Cola (9k) as the beverages. While waiting for your foods, they will provide kimchi in a small bottle which is unique because they usually put it in a small side dish plate. The kimchi is the best kimchi out of other restaurant in Jakarta! It tastes like the original one that fermented long enough so it tastes more sour and spicy. But maybe for those who don’t really like kimchi, this taste won’t match with your preferences. Try it first and maybe this kimchi will come to your liking!
For the first one will be Jjajangmyeon! It came in a big plate and big portion too. Topped with black bean soy sauce mixed with little piece of meat also sliced cucumber and radish kimchi (?), it has a great taste compared to another Jjajangmyeon in Jakarta! For the first timer maybe you will find it quite bland, but yes that’s the taste of the black bean soy souce, you can add chilli powder to make it tastier and suit it to your taste! Don’t forget to mix the sauce and noodles altogether!
Another big bowl of noodles has arrived, yes it’s Champong! Champong is noodles with spicy seafood broth and also variety of seafood. It came in a really big bowl and we can even divide it to 3 of us. It’s really really fresh and delicious! It was quite spicy but you can overcome it with the seafoods! There’re clams, squid, octopus, and other seafoods. It does taste like those spicy broth Korean ramyeon!
Dak Kang Jhon is chicken covered with sweet and sour sauce. It was also a pretty big portion too. It’s really tasty, don’t worry it wasn’t that spicy! The sweet and sour sauce was really really great. Worth to try!
Pajheon is korean traditional vegetable pancake and Bella’s favorite foods whenever we went to Korean restaurant lol. The Pajheon in Jjang was pretty thick while it’s should be thin (and kinda looks like Martabak Telor) but it has great combination with the vegetables in it. It came with soy sauce and for it to be tastier, you should dip the Pajheon with the soy sauce!
The price was pretty cheap if you compare to other Korean restaurant but the quality of foods here is really good and even better they have 20% discounts from the first time they open till now! They should use a bigger table because they have pretty big portion and so little space on the table for four. But we had a really great meal and leave with happy tummy and pocket too hahaha. Will surely go back here again next time for their Budae Jjigae and maybe BBQ. Oh, and don’t worry if you wear white clothes they provide bib that you can use so your clothes wouldn’t got stained!
