Not that I care about how famous a Korean restaurant is in Singapore or in Seoul. But Mijin's menu appeals to me. Buckwheat noodles and easy dishes. As long as you can do pork, you'll have something to eat here. There's nothing complicated about the menu, and at least there're cold noodles.
The lunch sets are great. I could dine solo. The perilla oil buckwheat noodles with bossam pork or pork cutlet is my default. They also offer salmon in the sets, so many people are pleased about the option of fish. Too bad that these sets aren't available at dinner. So you do need two people to share the portions.
With M, we split a small portion of bossam pork (10 pieces), buckwheat spring onion pancake, and three pieces of steamed dumplings. And a portion of Mijin's signature cold buckwheat noodles. They honestly do the pork really well here, one of the better versions around. I love it because it's nothing fanciful, they do the food nicely, and my stomach is happy.
The downside — we're restricted to a one-hour dining slot. So if you're looking to catch up longer with a friend, you'd have to adjourn elsewhere. M and I wanted to chat, so we popped out to a quieter venue with easy wines. We skipped all the noisy bars right outside Mijin. Heh. My head couldn't deal with the crap music and loud convos tonight. Also, I wanted AC. This row of bars sits in an alley without a breeze.
