Seogwipo Chinatown 서귀포 차이나타운 — Restaurant in Seogwipo-si

Dining @ Seogwipo Chinatown Restaurant (서귀포 차이나타운). . The Jajangmyeon / Black Bean Sauce Noodles (KRW ₩6,000) features thick chewy wheat noodles, topped with a rich gloopy chunjang / black bean sauce, which ironically, usually does not contain black beans at all (soy sauce or oyster sauce, minced pork, green onion, ginger, garlic, white onion, cucumber, and sweet potato starch or corn flour). . This Korean Chinese fusion dish has a lovely earthy vegetal salty savoury sweet flavour, akin to a mild caramel. . The Tangsuyuk / Battered Sweet And Sour Pork (KRW ₩18,000) was a highlight, with the battered pork having a crisp crunchy exterior, and a tender moist interior, carrying meaty savoury salty flavour. . The thick sweet and sour sauce gravy, made with a medley of fruits and vegetables (including cucumber, red onions, tangerine, pineapple) has an addictive vegetal fruity sweet sour zesty flavour. . Ambience is modern functional, with wooden and metal furnishings neatly lined within the brightly lit, warm-toned space. . Service is efficient but transactional, minimal engagement but ordering is easy. Staff clean up leisurely, as turnaround is not high. . Food is Korean Chinese fusion, of decent quality. Portions are large, sized for communal sharing. Prices are reasonable, budget about KRW ₩11,000 / SGD...

We left. Would not recommend. Don't speak Korean or English...
