OPPA BBQ - Cheap Korean BBQ in Jurong East

 

Korean barbecue has become very popular in Singapore over the past few years, thanks to the popularity of Korean dramas. Korean barbecue restaurants have been popping up in Singapore like wild mushroom. The west side of Singapore is getting its share of Korean barbecue restaurants such as K.Cook Korean BBQ and Steamboat Buffet (Westgate). 
 
I have recently discovered a hidden gem of Korean BBQ restaurant in JCube. I have actually seen this restaurant quite a few times when I was shopping in JCube, but I have never had the chance to try it out until today. 
 
 
OPPA BBQ’s prices are definitely more wallet-friendly than its cousin K.Cook Korean BBQ and Steamboat Buffet in Westgate. Prices start at $14++ for Adult BBQ Lunch (Monday - Friday 11.30am - 4.30pm) and $24++ for BBQ Dinner (Monday - Friday 4.30pm - 10.30pm), BBQ Weekend (Saturday - Sunday 11.30am - 10.30pm) and Public Holidays (24 December and 31 December 11.30am - 10.30pm). Youths (Primary 4 - Secondary 4) pay $12++ for BBQ Lunch and $20++ for BBQ Dinner, BBQ Weekend and Public Holidays. Kids (Primary 1 - Primary 3) pay $8++ for BBQ Lunch and $18++ for BBQ Dinner, BBQ Weekend and Public Holidays. Toddlers (Nursery 1 - Kindergarten 2) pay $5++ for BBQ Lunch and $10++ for BBQ Dinner, BBQ Weekend and Public Holidays.

There are cooked Korean snacks such as Spicy Rice Cake (Topoki), Korean Glass Noodle (Japche), Stir-Fried Squid with Spicy Sauce, French Fries, Seafood Pancake and Rickroll with Seaweed (Kimbap) to whet your appetite as your food is cooking.

There is a good selection of meats from Thin Pork Belly and Pork Collar to Beef Striploin and Pork Golbi. My favourites are the Thick-Cut Pork Belly and the Spicy Chicken, the latter having achieved the delicate balance between sweet and spicy.

OPPA BBQ

Besides Hite Beer [$9], OPPA BBQ also carries Erdinger Beer [$11] , Heineken Beer [$11], Tiger Beer [$10], Cass Beer [$9], Makgeolli [$16], Shamsul Soju [$16] and Grapefruits Soju [$15]. There is currently a promotion going on where you can get 3 Tiger Beer for $26.
 
I am totally in love with OPPA BBQ, not only because I get to see Song Joong Ki's handsome face on Hite Beer posters all around the restaurant, but also because the economic prices and friendly service means I can enjoy myself with an ease of mind. 
 
Do note that buffet usage time will be restricted to 2 hours per table during peak hours and there is a penalty of $10 for every 200g of food wastage.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
