ahh~ gluttony has overcome me ..
I raveled the net to find some Korean food resto in Manila and found this..
"Palsun Korean Chinese Restaurant"
How did I get there?..
i got off at Petron station at the Taft Avenue, Pedro Gil Street..(near UPM / PGH)
walk straight in Pedro Gil street, and go left on the Fourth street..
i dunno if it was Adriatico St. but it was near Robinsons Ermita..
Anyway, the food there was very expensive no wonder why there wasn't any customer..
When I opened the door, the place was great but small..
The people there were nice and they dress like the characters in Coffee Prince
The ambience was nice..
Since the food was very expensive so I ordered jjajangmyeon..
Well, the truth was.. I was really looking for the instant noodle I've tasted before that my aunt gave me..
It was spicy with orange color and I don't know..but I liked it..
Surfing 'round the net I found this " jjajangmyeon " which looks so much like it and I wonder if this was the food I was looking for..
Additionally, jjajangmyeon was a street food in Korea, it was their spaghetti..
I ventured out for a journey..and found myself in front of this store..I mean restaurant..
I waited a little bit, they gave me a big scissor and a table napkin..
After served the jjajangmyeon on my table..
"waah`", it's really big, i wonder if i can finish all of this..
but "where is the fork?"..aww..of course you should use chopsticks but i dunno how so, I asked for a fork..
There were seasonings to place if you want to..
- a mango-like, i dunno..it was sweet, i like it..
- an onion, or so what i think..aghh, it's bad..it was really smelly..
- leaves-like..
- a paste..it was sour..
okay, i place the table napkin on my lap and put one on my t-shirt..
Cut the noodles and some seasonings using the scissors because they are TOO BIG..that's the way it was to be..
The jjajangmyeon was really oily, I don't like oily foods..
so, MINUS 2
I've placed too much onions and it makes me puke..
so, MINUS .5
I like the mago-like sliced,
so, PLUS .5
The paste leaves me full and my stomach began pushing the food out..
Overall, I didn't like it..so I left it though i don't want leaving food behind but I can't handle the taste..It gross for me..
my 250 pesos was wasted.. :(
Leaving me unsatisfied..
Hi! I stumbled upon your blog while checking about Palsun. I have been there too, but unlike you..I'm a big fan of jjajangmyeon. The sliced yellow stuff you ate was pickled radish (danmuji / 단무지). There are other cheaper Korean restaurants around Malate. Maybe you'll enjoy K-food the next time around. ^-^ Also, the noodle you're looking for might be "shin ramyeon" or "jjampong". Anyway, most Korean noodles are delicious! take care~
