Attention Westies! 505 Jurong West Market & Food Centre has just welcomed a new Korean addition to its hawkers. In the sea of stalls serving up traditional local fare, Busan Pork Soup‘s unmistakable red signage stands out immediately. At the time of writing, Busan Pork Soup has yet to even be added to Google Maps, so we’ve got the full lowdown for you right here.
As per the name, Busan Pork Soup specialises in Korean pork soup, otherwise known as dwaeji-gukbap. The stall is from the same team behind OMMA Chicken Soup, which operates multiple outlets islandwide. Similar to their sister brand, the soup recipes served at Busan Pork Soup are crafted by the same 2 chefs who formerly worked in a Michelin-starred Korean restaurant before bringing their signature Korean fare to the Singaporean hawker scene.
The menu centres around unbelievably tender pork slices and their signature 10-hour slow-simmered broth. No MSG is added to the broth, so all the rich and savoury flavours are extracted solely from the pork itself.
Each bowl comes in 3 sizes, with varying amounts of pork slices. Small gets you 3 slices, while medium gets 4 and large gets 5.
Menu highlights include their bestselling Tomato Busan (S$6.90 for small), which comes with 3 slices of melt-in-your-mouth pork and steaming-hot savoury tomato and pork broth.
For kimchi lovers, order the Kimchi Busan (S$7.30 for small) to hit that spicy-sour craving. If you prefer something on the milder side, go for the Collagen Busan (S$6.50 for small) for a comforting, milky-white broth.
Sides and add-ons like Kimchi (S$1.50), Short Grain Rice (S$0.80) and Quail Egg (S$1.50) are also available amongst others.
