O.BBa Jjajang Food Review - My favourite Jajangmyeon Spot

Whenever I am craving for jajangmyeon, I would come to O.BBa Jjajang to have it and this is my 4th time coming here. They have three outlets, two at Tanjong Pagar and one at Bukit Timah and I have tried both outlets. Jajangmyeon is a Korean take-out and it is usually eaten when you are moving to a new house or on Singles day.

Here I am the Bukit Timah outlet and I ordered the jajangmyeon ($12++) as usual. I also ordered the gyeran jjim (steam eggs) ($5++) as I was craving for it too. My friend ordered the Dolpnbibimbam (Hot Stone Bibimbap) ($15++).

Jajangmyeon ($12++)

+chewy noodles

+bits of pork

+comparatively better than other places that I have tried

+not jelak

+sweet earthy taste

+to eat with Danmuji

-lots of onions

Gyeran jjim (steam eggs)($5++)

+nice, soft and fluffy

+great for sharing

-charred at the bottom

The best part of O.BBa Jjajang is that they have a wide variety of side dishes. Their kimchi was so succulent and wait what!? Marinated beef as a side dish? The other side dishes were Kongnamul-muchim (Soybean sprouts), Sigeumchi-namul (Spinach), Danmuji (pickled radish), sausages and the middle one, I'm not so sure but I don't like that one.

They also have an O.BBa group membership program. How exclusive.

They also have free wifi for you to enjoy.

It was a 10-minute wait for two people.

For the Bukit Timah outlet, the nearest MRT is Beauty World Exit B.

I also had the Hot Stone Bibimbap with my friends and it was good, better than average.

Last time, the side dishes include edamame and quail eggs. I don't like the edamame as it was very prickly but my friends like it. My friends kept asking to refill the side dishes since it was free of charge anyways.

I had Jjamppong (Korean Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup) ($15++) with my friend at the Tanjong Pagar outlet and it was a huge portion. It was very spicy and I recommend that you share this with at least 2 other people. I also had their BBQ menu before but that was two years ago.

This is the jjajangmyeon I had at Noodle Stark which is located very close to the Tanjong Pagar outlet. This one is nice but jelak. The owner was very nice!

I also tried to make the noodles but obviously, my skills are too amateur. The Chun Jang paste that I bought at Giant tastes very similar to the ones I had. The important ingredient is the type of noodle to use and your wok hei.

Thanks for sharing my igstory!

Verdict: 9/10

How to prepare for NUS QET (Qualifying English Test)

I'm sharing my study tips because I could not find much before I did the test. There were no useful guides in helping me in QET test back then in 2018 so I thought of writing this blog post. What is NUS QET? It is an English essay test which tests your English proficiency. The paper is 1h 30min long and it takes place at NUS on a single day. Who takes NUS QET? Those who got D and below for Alevels General Paper (that's me!), polytechnic and foreign students. I scored well in GP in school but I didn't do well in Alevels. I got an E for Alevels. Why take NUS QET? You must take QET to graduate from the school and complete English modules if you fail the test. Why you should pass QET? This is because there are a lot of people bidding for the English module and as a newbie, you would not have enough points to compete with those seniors. Taking an English module also disallows you from taking other electives because it can overload your MCs. How's my result? ...

How to prepare for NUS Nursing Interview

page views as of 6/8/23 Hello prospective nurses, so you want to be a nurse? It may have been a difficult decision to be a nurse and hence I would like to help you and share tips on how to prepare for this interview. For those currently studying in poly and Alevel, study well so you will not have to go for this interview. What are the chances of entering NUS Nursing? Most people think that Nursing is very easy to get in because of the low IGP score and nurses are in high demand. As long as you are sincere, it is high likely that you get in. If your IGP is below 10 percentile, no worries because you can still get in. Fun Fact: In 2017, there were 2200 applications and 235 people were accepted into the course. This is 10.6% of the people who applied. Nus Nursing acceptance rate thus is 10.6% but it is expected to rise due to the high demand for nurses. When was the interview?
