Enjoy Authentic Korean Comfort Food at DAMOK, Kopitiam Food Hall @ JEM
Craving a warm bowl of Korean soup, a comforting noodle dish or a satisfying Korean meal without spending too much? Here is something worth checking out on your next visit to JEM. DAMOK (담옥), available at Kopitiam Food Hall @ JEM, brings the comforting flavours of Korean cuisine to Singapore with a selection of hearty soups, regional noodle specialities and tasty side dishes at affordable prices.

Starting from 28 October 2026, diners can look forward to Korean comfort food featuring recipes developed by a two-Michelin-starred chef. With selected dishes priced from just $8.90, DAMOK offers an appealing option for anyone who enjoys Korean food but prefers to keep everyday dining costs manageable.

Korean cuisine is well known for its satisfying soups, flavourful broths and generous combinations of meat, vegetables and noodles. These dishes are particularly appealing when you want something warm and filling for lunch or dinner. At DAMOK, diners can explore several Korean favourites, whether they prefer a nourishing chicken soup, a hearty beef dish, a rich pork bone broth or refreshing cold noodles.

The best part is that you do not need to visit an expensive restaurant to enjoy these flavours. Located within Kopitiam Food Hall at JEM, DAMOK provides a convenient dining option for shoppers, office workers, residents and Korean food enthusiasts looking for something different during their next meal break.
1. Ginseng Chicken Collagen Soup Set – $8.90

If you prefer something nourishing and comforting, the Ginseng Chicken Collagen Soup Set is a good place to start. Priced at $8.90, it is the most affordable of the three featured soup sets, making it an attractive choice for diners who want a satisfying Korean meal without stretching their budget.

The soup features chicken simmered with ginseng, jujube and ginger, bringing together ingredients commonly associated with traditional Korean soup dishes. The resulting combination offers a warming, aromatic broth that is particularly enjoyable for those who appreciate gentle herbal flavours.

The set comes with rice or noodles and three Korean banchan, which are small side dishes traditionally served alongside Korean meals. This gives diners a variety of flavours and textures to enjoy with their soup.

At $8.90, this set is worth considering for a weekday lunch, a casual dinner or a comforting meal after a long day of shopping. If you are new to Korean soups, it is also a welcoming introduction to a classic style of Korean cooking.
2. Beef Brisket Soybean Soup Set – $9.90

For those who prefer a more savoury, hearty soup, the Beef Brisket Soybean Soup Set is another option to consider. At $9.90, this home-style Korean dish combines tender beef brisket with Korean soybean paste and vegetables.

Soybean paste, commonly known as doenjang, is an important ingredient in Korean cooking. It brings a distinctive savoury depth to soups and stews, making it a natural choice for diners who enjoy robust flavours rather than lighter broths.

The beef brisket adds substance to the dish, while the vegetables help round out the meal. Served with rice and three Korean banchan, the set offers a combination of comforting soup, a filling staple and side dishes.

This is a particularly appealing choice if you enjoy traditional Korean home-style cooking. Instead of settling for the same lunch options every day, you can try something different at a price of less than $10.

For shoppers visiting JEM or workers looking for a satisfying meal nearby, this set provides another reason to add DAMOK to the list of places to eat.
3. Collagen Pork Bone Soup Set – $10.90

Fans of rich, full-bodied soups may want to try the Collagen Pork Bone Soup Set. Priced at $10.90, this Busan-inspired favourite features a silky pork bone broth that is designed to deliver a deeper and more substantial flavour.

Pork bone soup is a familiar comfort food in parts of South Korea, particularly Busan, where pork-based soup dishes are popular. The broth is the main attraction, offering a savoury character that pairs well with rice or noodles.

DAMOK serves this set with rice or noodles and three Korean banchan, giving diners a complete meal with several accompaniments to enjoy.

Although it is the most expensive of the three featured soup sets, $10.90 remains a reasonable amount for diners looking for a hearty Korean soup meal. It is worth considering if you enjoy rich broths and want to explore a regional Korean speciality without paying restaurant-style prices.

Whether you are already familiar with Korean pork bone soup or simply curious to try it, this dish could be a worthwhile addition to your next JEM food trip.
4. Mini Cheese Potato Jeon – $6.00

Looking for something to share or a snack to accompany your main meal? The Mini Cheese Potato Jeon, priced at $6.00, is another dish worth checking out.

Jeon refers to a range of Korean pan-fried dishes, often prepared using ingredients coated or mixed in batter before being cooked until golden. In this version, potato and melted cheese come together to create a crispy pancake with a soft, savoury centre.

The combination makes it an appealing option for anyone who enjoys potato-based snacks. Its smaller format also makes it suitable as an extra dish to share with friends or family, especially if you want to sample more than one item from the menu.

A vegetarian option is available, which may be helpful for diners who do not eat meat. However, those with specific dietary requirements should check the ingredients and preparation method with the stall before ordering.

At $6.00, the Mini Cheese Potato Jeon is a relatively accessible way to add something different to your meal. Pair it with one of the soup sets for a more varied Korean dining experience.
5. Jinju Cold Noodles – $9.90

Not everyone feels like having a steaming bowl of soup, especially when looking for a lighter alternative. That is where the Jinju Cold Noodles, priced at $9.90, come in.

Originating from Jinju in South Korea, this regional noodle speciality offers a different experience from the more familiar hot soups and stews. The dish features refreshing cold noodles topped with colourful accompaniments, creating a combination of textures and flavours.

Cold noodle dishes are popular among diners who enjoy a refreshing meal, with their chilled presentation providing a contrast to the rich, warming broths available on the menu.

The Jinju Cold Noodles are worth considering if you want to explore another side of Korean cuisine beyond the usual barbecue, fried chicken and spicy noodle dishes. They also provide an alternative for those who prefer noodles but are not in the mood for a hot soup.

At $9.90, this regional speciality gives diners another reasonably priced option when deciding what to eat at DAMOK.

Why Visit DAMOK at Kopitiam JEM?

One of the main attractions of DAMOK is its range of Korean dishes at approachable prices. With the featured soup sets starting at $8.90, diners can enjoy a filling meal without necessarily spending the amount they might expect at a full-service Korean restaurant.

The menu also offers variety. Those who enjoy herbal chicken soup can choose the Ginseng Chicken Collagen Soup, while diners who prefer stronger savoury flavours can opt for the Beef Brisket Soybean Soup or Collagen Pork Bone Soup. Meanwhile, the Mini Cheese Potato Jeon provides a snack or sharing option, and the Jinju Cold Noodles offer a refreshing alternative.

Another reason to visit is the convenience of its location. Situated at Kopitiam Food Hall @ JEM, DAMOK is an option to consider when you are shopping, meeting friends or spending time in the Jurong East area. You can make it part of a shopping trip rather than planning a separate journey just to enjoy Korean food.

The menu also makes it easier to plan your spending. The listed prices range from $6.00 for the Mini Cheese Potato Jeon to $10.90 for the Collagen Pork Bone Soup Set. If you are dining with friends or family, you can compare the options and decide whether to order individual meals or add a side dish to share.

The mention of recipes developed by a two-Michelin-starred chef may also appeal to diners interested in exploring Korean flavours associated with high-level culinary expertise. However, this should not be confused with a Michelin star awarded to the DAMOK stall itself.

As with any new food offering, the best way to decide on your favourite is to try a dish that matches your personal taste. You might discover a new go-to lunch option or find a Korean speciality that you want to order again.

Make Your Next JEM Food Trip More Interesting

If you are tired of eating the same dishes every time you visit a shopping centre, DAMOK offers a convenient opportunity to try something different. From traditional-style soups to a crispy cheese potato pancake and regional cold noodles, the menu brings several Korean-inspired choices together in one location.

The prices are also worth considering for anyone who enjoys discovering new food without making dining an expensive occasion. You can start with the $8.90 Ginseng Chicken Collagen Soup Set, explore the beef or pork bone soup options, or try the Jinju Cold Noodles if you prefer something refreshing.

DAMOK’s featured promotion begins on 28 October 2026 onwards, so it is worth checking out during your next visit to JEM. Before heading down, diners should confirm the latest menu, availability and prices directly with the stall, as offerings and conditions may change.

For Singapore residents who enjoy Korean cuisine, this is a useful option to keep in mind for lunch, dinner or a casual meal while shopping. If you are already planning to visit JEM, why not make DAMOK one of your food stops and see which Korean comfort dish suits your taste?
