This restaurant was highly recommended by Straits Times as one of the best places to try Korean food. We ordered the Bibimbap which is a mix of various vegetables with the sweet sauce - it tastes really good. At $5.50, it is quite pricey considering that there is no meat in it.
The other dish we ordered - Ramyon tasted like Maggi Mee cooked in some special spicy sauce. I believe you will also be able to prepare something similar with one of those Korean instant noodles - very pricey at $4.50. It comes with a small side dish of Kimchi.

when i first stepped into ming jia korean food, i got a small shock because it seemed so..unkorean. more like economic rice stall.
but the food proved me wrong (:
i had the bibimbap ($5.50) which had lots of lovely lettuce, seaweed, carrot and beansprouts inside. what i was rather unhappy about, though, was the fact that there was NO MEAT inside. a bit..cheat my money.
the set meal($5) is quite good though. get to pick two veg and one meat with rice and soup (my dad said it was hot water with seaweed).
the kimchi soup set was interesting. strangely, the kimchi was more salty than spicy-sour. we felt like we were eating spicy kiam chye more than anything else. but this didnt make it any less shiok (: again, no meat in this dish.
overall, quite an authentic korean meal.

I love watching dramas, because they got fairy-tale endings; there are moments where you smile like a fool, or weep together with the scenes, but at the end it will be a happy ending – I like happily-ever-after outcomes.
And there are always food in the show, the characters are only human, they need to eat too! So when I watch dramas, I will always get hungry. This bring us to Korean food, it’s a shame that we can’t put our hands inside the screen and grab that very delicious-looking food. So, we hunt, for Korean food.
We wanted the spicy looking Korean noodles but it was sold out; so we took the next-spicy-looking, kimchi soup set ($5.50) instead. It came with a appetiser with choices of tofu or anchovy, kimchi soup and rice. The kimchi soup was fabulous; spicy yet not to the extent of fiery, with a subtle hint of sweetness – I love it!
Bibimbap ($5) will always my choice when I have Korean food, not that I’ve eaten much, but I like the mixture of everything in one bowl. And I also like it to be in a hot stone bowl so that the rice will be piping hot! The one at Ming Jia was pretty decent, just that it wasn’t hot enough! Still, it was great to mix everything with the spicy-and-slight-sweet chilli!
(1) Ming Jia is very near my place.
(2) Ming Jia is very affordable.
(3) Ming Jia is unpretentious and homely.
(4) Ming jis is helmed by a Korean lady, and Koreans go there too.
(5) Ming Jia will be the place to go when I’m craving for Korean food.

One day, my Dear told me he was going to bring me to a secret place for lunch. I asked where? He refused to tell me. Only asked me to meet him at Bukit Timah Plaza.
When we got there, I saw the familiar setting of dining ~ the stall was featured on TV. It was on “What to eat at next stop” ( 下一站吃什么). The owner is a Korean Mother.
Haaa… so.. not much of a surprise but my Dear’s idea of bringing me there was surprising enough.. as he dun eat Korean food. While for me, I do like it.
Their Kimchi - Not flavourful enough. A bit spicy. Only can taste the hot spiciness. No sweet cabbage taste. Sorry to say, I had tasted better Kimchi.
Their pancake is good, but abit too thin. Haaaa…
Their Ginseng Chix soup is flavourful. Mashita! But the serving a bit too little. We got to ask the staff to add more soup for us.
My Dear dunno how to order, he only know Chix Soup, so I ordered a bowl of rice for him and black noodle for myself. The noodles are the normal yellow instant noodle that you can get from supermarket. The black sauce also is available. It tastes like the Japanese UFO instant dried noodles.
Sorry, my verdict is abit too harsh.
