Nipong Naepong - Fusion Korea Ppong and Pizzas

 

If you thought Korean food is all about bibimbap and ramyeon, I am going to prove you wrong. 
 
A new Korean restaurant has opened up in JEM and it's all about fusion pizzas and jjamppongs.  
Nipong Naepong offers sets that make it cheaper to dine with large group of friends. Soda Set and Ade Set (500ml) are both priced at $50.80, the components are basicallly the same, Ade Set comes with 500ml of ade (sweet, fruit-flavored drink) 2 ppong and 1 pizza while the Soda Set comes with 2 sodas (Coke/Sprite/Lemon/Apple/Grape). The most expensive Ade Set (1L) [$54.80] tops up ade of your choice to 1 little. 
 
This is Nipong Naepong's signature Ninae Pizza-Spinach [$18.80]. Trust the Koreans to come up with a weird pizza that combines cream cheese, spinach and cherry tomatoes. This is both a savoury and sweet pizza all in one. If you eat it on its own, it is a savoury pizza. If you drizzle some honey on it, it instantly becomes a dessert pizza. I just have one question: why are the spinach in the middle raw? 
Coco Pizza-Coconut [$16.80] is definitely a dessert pizza, no doubt about it. What makes this pizza special is the base of this pizza is actually made of tortilla. It gives this pizza the thin and crispy base that goes really well with the sweet cream cheese and shredded coconut. Have it with the fresh whipped cream for additional kick. 

This is Cha Ppong [$15.80], the classic seafood jjamppong that is commonly found in Korea. There are two spicy levels for this and I am already crying with just level 1. The soup is rich with the sweet aroma of seafood but the noodles are slightly soggy.

Non-spicy eater and cream-lovers like me are better suited for Vongole Ppong [$16.80]. The broth is a mixture of white wine, fragrant garlic and briny clams. The noodles are still a little soggy but the broth gives this ppong an Italian feel. 
This Lychee Yogurt [$12.90 for 1L (3-4 persons), $7.90 for 500ml (1-2 persons)] tastes almost like ice-blended lychee, the lychee tastes is very strong, with a slight creaminess from the yogurt.
Green Grape Soda [$7.90 for 500ml, $12.90 for 1L) is a new beverage but I personally feel that it loses to the Lychee Yogurt. It is refreshing and perfect for those who like carbonated drinks.

If you are sick of bibimbap and ramyeons, do give Nipong Naepong a try the next time you are in Westgate. You will be pleasantly surprised at how well the fusion dishes taste.

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...
