Celeb Korean chef Baek Jong Won opening jajangmyeon and jjamppong noodle shop in S’pore
Another restaurant under the “Paik’s” brand is coming to town.
Korean food fans might be familiar with Paik’s Bibim and Paik’s Coffee — well-known bibimbap and coffee chains owned by celebrity Korean chef Baek (sometimes spelled Paik) Jong Won, who stars in popular variety shows like Street Food Fighter. This October, another brand from the Paik’s franchise, Paik’s Noodle, will open its first outlet in Singapore at Suntec City in October.

The noodle house markets itself as a Korean-Chinese restaurant, serving dishes like jajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodles) and jjamppong (Korean spicy seafood noodle soup). It has outlets in multiple countries worldwide, including the U.S. and Australia.
Jajangmyeon
Noodles are handmade daily
The restaurant’s PR rep tells 8days.sg that Paik’s Noodle will “hand-make their noodles daily". They are served with house-made Paik’s sauces imported directly from Korea. While the Singapore menu hasn’t been confirmed, Paik’s Noodle typically specialises in variations of jajangmyeon and jjamppong.
Jaengban jajang Besides their classic jajangmyeon and jjamppong made with pork and veggies, their overseas menus usually contain a spicy “gochu” version of both dishes that’s topped with hot chilli peppers, as well as a stir-fried variation of both, called “jaengban jajang” and “bokkeum jjamppong”. 
Jajang bap Meanwhile, there are also some rice dishes, such as jjamppong or jajang bap (meaning rice in Korean). Jjamppong bap is jjamppong served alongside small portions of rice and noodles, while jajang bap is a rice dish topped with an omelette and drenched in black bean sauce.
