Ju Shin Jung Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant, East Coast Park (6 Feb)

Went cycling @ East Coast Park and then dinner at this Korean restaurant.

The food was quite good but they didn't come cheap loh... In case you are wondering, they do have buffet but only available from Mon-Thu. So, you can only order ala carte dishes on weekends.



Spacious restaurant with huge seats which can take up to 8 pax per table.



Here comes the appetisers/ side dishes..



More side-dishes; includes green vege, kimchi cabbage, tofu and kimchi carrot/cucumber/squid. All side-dishes re-fillable, FOC.. hehe! They will serve a cold soup (which my friends said tasted like vinegar) and a bowl of onion to each customer as well. I love the raw onions in its sauce. Tasted so delicious when eaten with the meaty stuff!

On the bottom is the Ginseng Chicken Soup - S$20. On the top is Bulgogi (beef with clear glass noodles) which cost S$49!! They will cook the beef for customers.



These were also cooked by the staff at your table and they will help cut the pork belly. Mushrooms at S$10, and 3 slices of pork belly at S$24! I think each of us only ate 2 pcs of mushroom and 2 (cut) pcs of pork belly. My friend said we will not order the beef next time but ask for more pork and chicken.

Another complimentary dish - steamed egg which was quite good!



Generally, the quality of the food is good. Our bill came to $164 for 6 persons. I will return, but perhaps for buffet during weekdays. The ala carte prices are not worth it haha!

Ambush (5 Feb)

Ambush is one of the new restaurants that has opened at Jurong Point. They are located at the old Jurong Point wing; just next to Courts on the 2nd floor. They serve European cuisine including paella, mussels, german sausages etc. I realised there is another restaurant of similar name called Ambush Pasta Bar @ Ngee Ann City which I think they are affiliated.

Anyway, we just had to try if they were authentic haha! Well, it turned out that they were not, compared to others we've tried, for eg. Don Quihote


From top left (anti-clockwise):
Trio meat (chicken, sausage and fish) paella - S$12.80 (single portion)
Fries which accompanied the mussells (small pot) cooked in white wine - $12

I think the prices are pretty decent. The sausages in the paella tasted quite good. The rice didn't stick to the pot so I think they had cooked it with another pan before it was transferred over. My honest opinion - I wouldn't return unless I have nothing else to eat! ;p
