Bit of an overdue post, but a Brisvegustation and I went to check out Sinjeon not long after it had opened on Adelaide Street. I was thrilled to have this in such close proximity after going to their Sunnybank Hills store.
Again, they had a lot of very cute displays out front to whet our appetites. The shop itself was quite small but most of the customers who came that day opted for take away so it wasn't too hard for us to get a seat.
Wanting a variety of options to try, we decided to order a set meal, comprising Original Topokki, Kimbab, Fried Fish Cakes, Crispy Dumplings, Fried Seaweed Rolls, Eggs and Drinks. We had two cans of Korean drink and these were quite unique. The grape drink had literal pieces of grape in the can but was quite sweet.
Our food came before long and it was definitely more than enough for two to share. The table was almost entirely filled.
The beef gimbap was delicious as always. The ratio of rice to toppings wasn't as good as queen's gimbap however it is better than a lot of other places. The beef was quite flavoursome and the other accompanying veggies were fresh and crunchy.
All the fried things came together also. I didn't really enjoy the dumplings as they didn't have too much meat in the filling. The seaweed roll was a highlight for me though, with a light umami flavour to the seaweed, otherwise the fried foods didn't stand out for me.
We also had a serve of cheese toppoki. This turned out to be quite spicy and the hard boiled egg. It was as saucy as it looked and was filled with little other than rice cake and cheese. I would have enjoyed it more if it had a bit more by way of meat or veggies, but for the price and convenient location, I couldn't complain too much. Overall we had a pretty good time at Sinjeon and wouldn't hesitate to go back for more later.
