About JUNGGA

Meokja by JUNGGA stands as Singapore's premier Muslim-friendly Korean restaurant, helmed by Chef Jung SangWoo, a Korean-Muslim revert who opened this establishment in October 2022 at GR.iD mall in Dhoby Ghaut. Driven by his desire to make authentic Korean cuisine accessible to Muslim diners, Chef Jung partners with his wife Afrah to create genuine Korean flavors using exclusively halal ingredients.

The restaurant offers an extensive menu of Korean classics including Jja Jang Myeon (noodles in black bean sauce), JjamPpong (spicy seafood soup), Bibim Guksu (spicy mixed noodles), and their signature Samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup). Street food favorites like kimbap, yangnyeom chicken, and tteokbokki featuring chewy rice cakes in gochujang sauce provide authentic Korean street food experiences starting from .90.

Operating Thursday through Tuesday from 10:30am to 3pm and 5pm to 10pm, Meokja by JUNGGA represents Chef Jung's mission to share proper halal Korean food after recognizing the lack of authentic options for Muslim diners. While not officially halal-certified, their commitment to using only halal ingredients and authentic Korean preparation methods has made them a trusted destination for Korean cuisine enthusiasts seeking Muslim-friendly dining experiences.

Understanding Halal Status Types in Singapore

MUIS Halal Certified

The establishment has passed the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore's official halal audit. This is the gold standard for halal assurance — food sourcing, preparation, storage, and handling are all verified by MUIS inspectors.

Muslim-Owned

The establishment is owned and operated by Muslims. While not formally MUIS-certified, Muslim ownership provides trust as the proprietors are accountable under Islamic principles. Many popular Singapore eateries are Muslim-owned without MUIS certification.

No Pork, No Lard

The establishment does not serve pork or use lard in cooking, but may not have formal halal certification. This is common in food courts where individual stalls have different halal statuses. Always check for a displayed MUIS certificate at each stall.
