Korean Pasta for Me at Nipong Naepong

Oops I did it again. Shopback GO brought me here with their 20% cashback deal. I’ve dined at Nipong Naepong before – I am a sucker for pasta & I love soupy things, so their menu is right up my alley.

Hooray for 20% cashback on Shopback GO!

Before you even order, you get a little plate of appetizer served to you. This whet my appetite as I eagerly waited for my meal.

A little spicy appetizer

I looked around & noticed each table had a clean container for diners to put their mussel shells in. Makes eating very convenient.

Being a seafood lover, I ordered the Il Pong ($15.80++). Not much to plating or instagrammability here, which I don’t care much for. Huge mountain of pasta under the seafood ingredients – I initially thought this was disproportionately carby, but as I ate on, I realized a good amount of seafood was at the bottom.

The dash of chilli oil gives this dish a decent level of spice that might cause the average person to break out in a sweat, though I personally found it pleasant & enjoyed it. If you don’t like spicy food, try ordering something else; they do have non-spicy options.

You WILL be very full after this meal; small eaters be warned!
