Today I ordered Jajjang Myon for dinner for my kids. This is thick noodles in a black sauce with bits of pork and vegetables. Despite not being Chinese food it is only available in Chinese restaurants and is a popular dish to order in. I know it’s not Chinese food because about 10 years ago I had a Chinese Korean student in my class who owned a Chinese restaurant and I asked her. She told me that it’s Korean food, but every Chinese restaurant has it because it’s expected.

One thing I like about ordering food in Korea is that everything you order comes in real dishes, not paper or alumnimum. Once you finish eating your meal, you put the dishes back outside your door and about an hour later the delivery guy comes back and picks it up.

One of my friends, John M, sent me this link to a Dave’s ESL Cafe thread which has several links within it and lots of good information. I’ve bookmarked it to Delicious for future reference. Will be going through the various links in closer detail. I also know the user Captain Corea and will be calling him up to find out more about that special passport his wife got.
