Craving for Korean food? What's better than a Korean bunch at the heart of LKF? A free-flow champagne Korean brunch! Weekends are the time to sit back and enjoy some quality time with friends and families with the complement of good food and drinks. JINJUU offers a comprehensive brunch in modern Korean style with free-flow drinks. For the late wakers, a newly launched "Laid Back Brunch" is also available which lasts for a shorter period of time.
Free-flow DrinksJINJUU is known for its contemporary design with a lots of wooden elements at both of their open kitchen as well as the dining area.
Apart from the the Louis Roederer Brut NV Champagne, you may also choose any kinds of alcoholic choices including cocktails, and a wide selection of soju spirits, just feel free to consult with the staff to find out your favourite drink!
On the left, we have tried one of the signature cocktails from their creative bartender called "Spiced Kimchi Mary" which is a pretty spicy cocktail using fresh tomatoes with a twist. At the back, we have the cocktail of the month "JINJuice"
If you are not a drinker, some refreshing fruit tea and other non-alcoholic drinks are also available for you upon request. Daily hot soup would be another great alternative for this chilly autumn. 
Bibimbap station is one of the most popular checkpoint. Simply create your own with your favourite seasonal vegetables like carrots, mixed greens, mushroom, bean shoots and more. The staff will then help you to structure your bibimbap in a traditional stone bowl filled with rice and topped with Gochujang sauce.
We basically went all in and loaded our bowl with all toppings and a big heap spoon of sauce. First of all, it's so much fun to mix your own bowl of rice and it can be even better if the stone pot can be hotter to give that sizzling sound and possibly some burnt rice at the bottom. Secondly, the bibimbap is absolutely delicious with just the right flavour, while the rice is perfectly sticky and aromatic.
There are also a couple of made-to-order hot dishes like "Jap Chae" Korean stir fried sweet potato noodles with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, as well as Korean style steamed egg. We particularly enjoyed the noodles because it is really hot with a nice balance of its sweet and spicy taste.
Kimbap is a must in a Korean meal and I am happy to see three different kinds with beef, salmon, and just veggies. They are very hard to be screwed as long as fresh ingredients and the right kind of Korean seaweed are used.
It's been a while since the "fried chicken + beer" hype, but we all know that they are really the perfect match with each other. Apart from chicken wings and boobies, a range of deep fried good ness including prawn, fries, and tofu are there for you. Don't forget to try their delicious kimchi pancake too!
On the right hand side of the buffet station, there are a few hot selections that would probably represent some of the staple food in local Korean cuisine. Bulgogi can be found on the far right and you may go crazy and mix that into your bibimbap.
In the middle, you may find a rather Korean Chinese style dish which is sticky pork. It's slightly different from the Cantonese style sweet and sour as it's more on the savoury side. The sauce is very flavourful that's why it is often one of the best dishes to go with a bowl of plain rice.
They also have lighter veggies options including fried tofu covered in kimchi sauce and plain healthy cauliflower.
Not only they have traditional dishes, but modern dishes as well. It's quite surprising to see raw scallop and tuna slices covered in toasted sesame and a light spicy sauce. Delicate, healthy, and scrumptious at the same time.
Who said that Korean food is all about carbs? Don't underestimate their beef quality especially Hanwoo beef. A small carvery board in the middle is somewhere you would want to stop by for some tender succulent protein!
Moving on, a beautiful colourfully presented tropical fruits is a healthy finish to a meal (before dessert). Passion fruits and mangoes are extremely appetising after a big meal.
DessertsYou would probably regret it if you are skipping their dessert. Though they look pretty standard, they do tasted on point. They have three types of indulging dessert on the day we went and they are creamy sweet creme brulee, light milky panna cotta, and chocolatey fudge-y brownies.
