Jajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk

jajangtangsuyuk receipt1
Last week, H and I went to Bucheon Homeplus early in the morning. After getting what we needed, we decided to eat at the foodcourt. We were the first customers of the day. Ordered the Jajangmyun and tangsuyuk set. Jajangmyeon is a Chinese-style Korean fried noodles with black bean sauce. Tangsuyuk is simply deep-fried pork strips in sweet and sour sauce. While waiting for the food, we also ordered some chicken, biscuits and coffee from KFC which they served right away. In a Korean food court, you have to take line to a cashier/counter to order your food and pay. They will give you the receipt and a claim stub for every order. Then you will wait till your number is shown on a screen or monitor. When you see your number, you will proceed to that stall and claim your food. My food took forever. Well maybe about 25 minutes. Normally food from the food court are served really fast, but since we were customer no 1, we had to wait till they finish making the noodle (yes HANDMADE noodle!), preparing the sauce and everything. So after excruciating 25 minutes, I got my jajangmyeon. It was really great eating freshly made noodles. And I really like the sweet and sour sauce here.
Oh, and that brewed coffee from KFC is terrible!

Dosirak No. 1 Goo Jun Pyo's Vegetarian Meal

This dosirak/bento was made on an impulse. I was gonna join an online contest for bentos showcasing a vegetarian menu but for some reason wasn't able to submit it.
This dosirak include some small rice balls rolled into some crushed 김(seaweed laver) for the 구준표 - style (Goo JunPyo) hair, 계란마리 or eggrolls, boiled flower-shaped carrots and cherry tomatoes for fillers on the top compartment. On the second compartment- 시금치 and 콩나물 무침 (seasoned spinach and beansprouts) , some fried tofu, 호박전 or pan-fried zuccini slices, 팽이버섯 or seasoned enoki mushrooms, cucumber strips tied with spring onion, 동치미 strips also tied with spring onion. 동치미 is the winter radish kimchi. And some boiled flower-shaped carrots for fillers. I use only olive and grapeseed oil for this meal.
