Directions
If you're taking by MRT there, take the yellow line and alight at Haw Par Villa CC25. Then exit and look opp Haw Par Villa and you will see this building.
(Credit to Ju Shin Jung's website)Just cross the bridge and you will be there =D
If you're taking by buses, either you head to Bukit Panjang LRT and transfer to bus 176 at the bus interchange. You will take around 1 hour or 1 1/2 hour to reach there. Alight at the stop at Haw Par Villa STN and you'll be there. If you're taking the buses from Clementi MRT, head to the bus interchange and take the bus 175 and approximately 12 stops. Then alight at Haw Par Villa STN.
When you enter Ju Shin Jung, the waitress and waiter will greet you friendly in basic korean. Then you will be guided to yr table or if you prefer the traditional shoes off experiences, you could request for it. One thing not to forget to mention and to be complimented, although they used gas flames to heat up the coals, but using coal for barbecuing is really good. It gives the food a smokey flavor, that's what I think in my opinion.
But my friend and I prefer the normal ones. We were given the menu and it was well detailed. There are many kind of meat that you can choose from to be barbecue. There were like Wagyu Beef Striploin, Black Pork collar, Prawns and many more. If you want to have a casual meal instead, choose the soups or noodles or the steamboats. I choose the lunch buffet cause at the time we arrived, it was available. The buffet timing is around 12pm-2.30pm but the last order is at 2pm. After that, they will close down for a break. The lunch buffet is quite simple. You're given 4 choices of the meat, Pork collar, Pork Belly, Marinate Pork and Marinate Chicken. If you're hungry for beef, you might have to order that separately which means additional charges. Beside the meat, you are given one choice of the dish that you like from the soups and noodles. If i did not remember wrongly, there were soya bean soup (which was what we ordered), bibimbap (we ordered that too), Somyun, mulnaeng, binaeng, soondubu? I don't remember much sorry.After we ordered the choice of our meat which was pork belly and marinate chicken. The table was filled with quite a lot of side dishes!
The side dishes are refillable so feel free to ask for refills. The banchans were delicious, there was bean sprouts, spinach, tofu jeon i tink?, of course Kimchi that was spicy and well marinated I really love it, there was this side dishes that had onions soaked in some sauce that was extremely refreshing and delicious, today they had pumpkin porridge which was kind of sweet for me but my friend liked it, chilled tofu with sauce (it was really delicious and very very spicy), salad with thousand island dressing, anchovies, and cold seaweed soup which was sour but very delicious too. There will be a row of vegetables placed at the side of the table so do feel free to eat them. Finally the arrival of the meat. Trust me, the pork belly were fresh not frozen so is the chicken. The waitress helped us to cook our meat but i wanted to do it myself. She was nice as she cooked the meat for us and placed it in a bowl for the cooked meat only.
Important advice, if you're there to eat plenty of meat, don't eat anything in the morning or before the visit. Or else you're gotten be full by the time you finish half of the portion of the meat. Or even better, ask more friends to join you for the meal. When the meat are being cooked, you could enjoy the choice of the dish you chose. We ordered bibimbap which the waitress helped us to divide it into 2 portion for sharing and the soya bean soup was good. It had a very strong taste and flavour to it. If you like miso soup for the Japanese cuisine, you would probably like soya bean soup =) Enjoy the side dishes =)
If you want to make yr meal healthier, do a wrap if you like. Use any vegetable leaves as a base, then place a slice of the meat that is cook. then place any side dishes onto the meat or the sauces provided or even better, place a slice of kimchi on the meat. Wrap it all up and stuff it into yr mouth in one go! Try to take two bites if the wrap is too big or else it will not appealing if you spit the wrap out or the wrap is dangling out of yr mouth You could try to grill the garlic and place it in the wrap too =)
After all those eating of the delicious meat, the dessert will be followed by. We were served with watermelons that were cut into the shape of a heart which was cute and we were served this drink that I personally like it a lot.
I have no idea what was the drink but it was really really good. My friend suspect that it was sparkling juice but I wasn't sure. You got to try it if you go Ju Shin Jung. =) Then after all the eating, you will see two coins at the side of the table in a small plate. Do not be fooled. I thought it was a refreshment sweet or a sweet to get rid of the bbq smell in the mouth and almost ate it. It is actually a pressed tissue that requires water so it will absorb and turn into a wet tissue. Perhaps most of you have used it before.
The bill was fair enough.
Each adult is $29, the towel and the tea and the water was $2. And the GST and service charge was $10.62 which is considered expensive for us. Each of us paid $35.30 which the total bill was $70.60. Fair enough for such fresh meat, good environment and good service =D Even better when you're about to leave the restaurant, they will give you the Real sweets for you if you like to eat it or just to get rid of the bbq smell. Relax, the restaurant vacuum system is good so you would smell like a roasted meat after you leave the restaurant =D 張貼
