Chai 797

After exploring Shinsegae Busan Centrum City Mall, we decided to settle lunch at their food court. While street food is a common sight in Korea, spotting a large, clean food court in a mall felt a little unique. In contrast, Singapore’s scene is quite the opposite, food courts are everywhere, while true street food is more limited. So in a way, this neat and well-organised food court felt surprisingly familiar to us.

After several days of indulging in Korean cuisine, we decided it was time for a change. Faced with an overwhelming number of choices and wanting to avoid the longer queues, we opted for something different, Chinese cuisine from Chai 797. It was a refreshing shift in flavours and comforting in a familiar way.

Each of us picked our own carb dish,  one went for the Stir-Fried Rice with Local Garlic, while the other chose Black Bean Sauce Noodles with Local Onion and Seafood. Both dishes were comforting in their own way: the fried rice was wonderfully fragrant and addictive, while the noodles packed a savoury punch.

Stir Fried Rice with Selected Local Garlic - 10,500
Black Bean Sauce Noodle with Selected Local Onion & Seafood - 8,800
Sichuan-style sweet & Sour Pork - 29,800
