Cycle 15 - Item 172

The Korean-Chinese Quaternity
3.0
at Shanghai
-Changgok, Sujeong, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea-
with W and IZ
As noted on these pages ad nauseam, the menu options at Korean-Chinese restaurants are extremely limited - and given such limited options, customers overwhelmingly tend to order variations of just 4 dishes: jjajang myeon (black bean sauce noodles), jjambbong (spicy noodle soup), bokkeum bap (fried rice), and tangsu yuk (sweet & sour pork) (none of which are actually Chinese) - so here they are.
Tomorrow, for the first time in 6 years, we're taking a family trip to the States (see most recently 9.360 Teppanyaki Combination: Maine Scallops + Nova Scotia Lobster Tail) - specifically the San Francisco Bay Area, including Stanford and Berkeley. More details to come.
GMTD has documented my morbid practice of eating my favorite dish before boarding a plane, in case it should crash (into the ocean), so that I could die (or be stranded on a deserted isle), with a final lasting memory of eating my favorite dish, which over the course of 15 cycles started with jjajang myeon (see for example 2.023 Yuni Jjajang Myeon), then mul naeng myeon (see for example 4.261 Pyongyang Naeng Myeon) - I'm now making it jjambbong.
