Buchu Japchae

at Pungmi

-Bukseong, Jung, Incheon, Gyeonggi, Korea-

with MtG

Upon returning to port from last night’s island camping trip (see 1.053 Franks & Beans), MtG and I decided to take the opportunity to eat dinner in Chinatown.  I was hoping to try the original yellow bean sauce jjajang myeon, the way that it’s made in China.  Alas, we were disappointed to learn that the restaurant that we’d chosen didn’t stock the ingredients for the yellow jjajang myeon on weekends, supposedly because the swarms of visitors, mostly from Seoul, never order it.  Why anyone would travel so far to eat stuff that they could get back home is beyond me.
