Pan-Fried Dumpling (Lani Gun Mandu)
3.0
(Hyundai City Mall)
-Munjeong, Songpa, Seoul, Republic of Korea-
with W and IZ
Back in the mall to return one of the bench coats that I had purchased last week (see generally 16.030 Hong Kong Beef Noodle (Wuyuk Tang Myeon)) (returned The North Face, kept Columbia).
W and IZ tagged along to do their own shopping.
Afterwards, we had dinner in the food court.
They opted for noodles, while I got dumplings from 2 places: Chamsae Jeong Miso + Lan Kwai Fong Noodles.
As previously noted, Lan Kwai Fong Noodles purports to be Chinese, but the food tastes entirely Korean. The gun (pan-fried) mandu could’ve come from the other (ostensibly Korean) place. In fact, the saewoo (shrimp) mandu from the other place might be a shade more Chinese.
