Cold Noodles in Paengseong

Cold Noodles in Paengseong

I love cold noodles!

They are so tasty and it has cooked chicken in it that has a light nutty flavor.

There is actually ice in the bowl to keep them cold. There are a few other veggie ingredients like cucumber shavings. 

The actual name for this dish is: Cho gye gook soo" 초계국수

(Don't know that the pictured dish below is the actual dish, but that's what it looks like when it's served!)

According to this sign though, the cold noodles are 7,000 won each. They are pretty large too!

Two of my friends and I came here to "OK" to eat this fabulous dish.

Ok is located on the little street to the left of the gas station (it actually sits behind the gas station) on the road leading to Camp Humphreys' main gate. If you come out of Camp Humphreys and drive straight until you get to the gas station on the right, turn right and you will see it almost immediately on the right. 

Plan to take your shoes off at the entrance like most traditional Korean restaurants. 

 

Be warned, they don't speak much English at all and the English menu is not very specific. 

Thankfully, one of the friends I went with knew a little Hangul (Korean) and she knew the name for what we wanted :) 

Here's what the Korean menu looked like:

Water comes free with the meal. They do have a couple other drink choices like Chilsung (which is like a cross between ginger ale and sprite - so good!). 

They no longer have Korean BBQ available at lunch, but they have it during dinner hours.  I have only gone there for the noodles!

I look for any excuse to go and have these noodles. My family visited and I took them here!

They were not that impressed, but they still thought it was a good experience.

My dad took an up-close video of him eating the noodles :) this will give you an idea what they are like. They present a unique challenge for those new to eating with metal chopsticks!

Enjoy!
