Oni Kimbap × O.BBa Jjajang Express Orchard – Korean Street Eats Meet Fusion Comfort

A Korean Street Feast Lands in Orchard Road

Right in the heart of Orchard at Taste Orchard (160 Orchard Rd, #01-13/14) sits a kiosk buzzing with Seoul-style flavours — Oni Kimbap × O.BBa Jjajang Express.

This unique collaboration brings together two well-loved Korean brands: Oni Kimbap, known for its inventive, rice-less kimbap rolls, and O.BBa Jjajang, Singapore’s favourite Korean-Chinese restaurant group. The result? A compact express stall serving everything from fusion-style kimbap to classic black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) — all in one convenient Orchard pit stop.

📍 Editor’s note: According to The Straits Times, Taste Orchard will close by 31 December 2025 after OG terminated Hao Mart’s lease. So if you’ve been meaning to try Oni Kimbap × O.BBa Jjajang Express — now’s the time, before this pop-up disappears from Orchard’s food map.
