NOODLE KING PIK

Ever since I've started working, my time is a bit limited because I only get 1 day off. Which is why each time I get a day off, I'd go with my friends for restaurant or cafe hopping! Our target is usually either new ones or yummy ones and this here is the result of it. Noodle King is a pretty new restaurant at Pantai Indah Kapuk, exact location is right next to Shirokuma. and what interest me here is their Jjangmyun!

See this below? Nope, this is not what we ordered..lol! These are only dummies! Can you believe that? Looks pretty real, huh? Well, as you can see, the Korean cuisine they offer here is not the usual grilled foods hence the name Noodle King!

As always, Banchan is a must at a Korean restaurant and Kimchi is a mandatory Banchan!

JJAJANGMYEON IDR 55,2K
Steamed noodle with sweet flavored black bean paste.

Ta-dah! Here's what we've been waiting for!! Our reason of coming here! There's not many restaurant in Jakarta that offers Jjangmyeon and I think I've tried almost all that has this. To me, this is the best out of all of them! It's definitely a must-try if you love Jjangmyeon!

Better eat it while it's hot to get the best taste!

WANG DON KATSU IDR 79,8K
Deep-fried pork cutlet, served with special sauce and salad.

Kinda surprised that the price is higher than the Jjangmyeon, especially considering the portion but I guess it's because this is pork(?) It's good though, a bit too thin but good nonetheless. Can't really be bad, since it's pork anyway..lol!

This also comes with a Jumokbap, a Korean rice ball and it's yummy as well!

CHEESE BULDAK IDR 84,9K

Grilled chicken in spicy Korean sauce, topped with melting cheese.

Another reason we came here! Yes, whoever could resist those sexy melted cheese?? Careful cause it's a bit spicy! What didn't satisfy me here is the portion and amount of the chicken! You might think that this is big from the plate but it's actually not that much, especially considering the price! Nevertheless, sometimes I wouldn't mind burning some extra cash for this alluring cheese!

For the question of whether we'd come back, I guess we would but only for their Jjangmyun and some occasional Cheese Buldak..lol! Might try other menus though, since it does look good from the dummies!

LEGEND OF NOODLE SENOPATI

Calling all Korean lovers!! Wait..I mean jjangmyeon lovers! Lol! Here we present to you a restaurant that offers the best jjangmyeon we've ever had! I'm guessing that they must've been the pioneer in Jakarta..it's just a guess though. :p

So this place is called Legend of Noodle! Even though I'm sure that most of you probably have heard about it, I'm always asked about where it is located. Well, they're located at Senopati, almost right across of Three Buns, pretty simple to find!

HAEMUL JAMPONG IDR 80K
Since the place is called Legend of Noodle, it's to be expected that this ain't like other Korean restaurants, which usually has a grilled menu. This place is focused mainly on noodles..duh! Korean noodle is different from any other noodles, I find Korean noodles more chewy. Here, they have 2 favorites; one of them is this soup based noodle!

I guess this is the ever so popular seafood soup with noodles in it! As an Indonesian, I think the portion is huge, like 3 people's portion huge! But they said that for a Korean, this is a single person's portion...wow!

Though this tasted a bit spicy, like a proper jampong, I think it's delicious! They're also very generous with the seafood that even if it's a bit troublesome to eat, I can't stop because it's too darn good!

JAJANG MYEON IDR 55K
The 2nd favorite is of course, their JJANGMYEON! Anyone who has ever watched any kind of Korean shows must have seen this dish at least once and I bet you also drooled over it! At first, I thought that the only place I could get this was here, since if you type in jjangmyeon in Jakarta, the result will all shows Legend of Noodle, even with the overpopulation of Korean restaurant in Jakarta! Now, I realized that more and more Korean restaurant has decided to offer this, like Jjang Noodle and even Mujigae! Hmm..I guess this is good news for Jakarta's Korean lovers!

If you have no idea what jjangmyeon is, it's actually just noodles mixed with blackbean paste, yeap, it's that simple! So simple that it's just mind-blowing on how good this Legend of Noodle's jjangmyeon is! Might not be photogenic but I really don't care. Don't know what makes it different than other's jjangmyeon, maybe it's because there's a lot of onions in it and if you take a look closely, there's some chunks of pork in it! Yeah, I know it's hard to see, since it's all covered in black..lol!

I'm guessing that the noodle they use is all that same chewy noodle on each menu, just different sauce and topping. This is really the bomb and it only cost me IDR 55K for a huge portion of it! Love!!

Here's a sneak peek of their menu, since I bet you all must be curious by now! :p

Can't even be bothered with the interiors anymore! The food we had was so good that I don't really care how the place is but at least it's cozy here!
