Chinese restaurant with a Korean twist

September 28, 2015

We spent our whole day looking around for things especially cosmetics related and  souvenirs in Myeongdong. ^ ^ The place was filled with people enjoying the community and killing time. The mood was actually festive. Even though it was crowded,  it truly gave me this impression that Korean people really know how to have fun, shop like there's no tomorrow at the same time work harder too.  Quite a good combination right there. Nice lesson learned here. Anyhow, we went to this Chinese restaurant for dinner. It looked like a really cramped space. But oh boy, I was wrong. Never be deceived by the first impressions of the place. The foods and the quick service changed my mind totally. The foods were really good and reasonable.  Sadly I didn't get to ask what the name of the place was.

Here are the snapshots of our dinner experience.

 ***  Jajangmyeon (자장면; 짜장면; jjajangmyeon), a Korean Chinese cuisine, is anoodle dish topped with a thick sauce made of chunjang (a salty black soybean paste when unheated), diced pork and vegetables, and sometimes alsoseafood. Jajang (alternately spelled jjajang), the name of the sauce when heated, is the Korean pronunciation of the Chinese characters 炸醬, which literally means "fried sauce." Myeon (also spelled myun) means "noodle", which is represented by the Chinese character 麵. 

 *** This is a combination of black noodles + mandu ( Korean version of dumplings and fried squid with salt and pepper
