14 April aka. Black Day where Korean singles celebrate by eating Jajangmyeon 🖤. Also a perfect excuse for me to indulge in yet another one of my favourite Korean local cuisine - Jajangmyeon aka. black bean paste noodles served with sliced onions and minced meat. This was in fact one of the better ones I’ve had in Seoul, coming with a pocket-friendly price tag as well, even though the place is famous for their Kalguksu 갈국수 instead. Served with a side of pickles that’s crunchy, refreshing and tangy, this huge bowl of Jajangmyeon here also comes with potato cubes 😍 and tender meat chunks instead of minced, along with sliced onions. The black bean paste sauce was thick, flavourful, without being overwhelmingly salty, coming with a pleasant tinge of umami-sweet flavour. Also good for those who don’t fancy or can’t tolerate spice as Jajangmyeon are typically non-spicy! But as one who adores spice, I added some Chilli flakes to it 🤭. The hand made and hand-pulled noodles here did live up to expectations and was worth the queue, coming with a slight chewy, QQ texture that was pleasant to the bite. Do consume it ASAP though, as otherwise the noodles might turn soggy which did somehow for mine, due to my long phototaking session 😅. Free-flow kimchi are also provided here, to which the greedy me took 2 more servings 🤭. Not sure if it’s just me or the portion of noodles here seems to be really generous that posed as a challenge for me to finish it all, which I did eventually with no regrets 😌 .
