명동칼국수

While I was having my only ME time after my school started at Hanyang University, I decided to explore Jamsil even though people have warned me not to go there since it is a touristy place. And they were right.. It was hard looking for an authentic Korean restaurant at Jamsil because there are far more international food than Korean food at Jamsil. There were many international gatherings and I can hear many people speaking in English. It took me quite long to look for a decent Korean restaurant at Jamsil. I was walking along the quiet areas and alleys and I found this restaurant.

I have no idea what gotten into me but while roaming the streets of Jamsil, I felt a little dizzy and needed to find a place to sit so I went here to rest a little. This restaurant is quite cozy and comfortable. There were many cool decorations to keep me entertained and I felt at home there. The server was quite nonchalant and did not interact much though.

Kalguksu? I have never saw or heard a Korean dish like that before so this was definitely a first! From what I have learnt, Kalguksu consists of wheat flour noodles that are handmade and knife-cut instead of being spun. Actually, I find many of the Korean dishes are quite healthy as the noodles are usually handmade and the broth is simmered for hours with fresh ingredients. It is very tasty and adding kimchi into the soup just for a little spice does wonders! The price is reasonable as most Korean dishes cost 6,000 won anyway.
