Lunch at Song cook's

Today, my sister and I went to Song Cook's for lunch. It is a korean restaurant on yonge and steeles. The address is 72 steeles ave. its a surprisingly large resaurant, and the service was pretty nice. I loved the heated mats they have on the floor. To some people, it might be uncomfortable, however I am used to ditting crosslegged. 

My sister and I ordered the jjajangmyeon (짜장면) combos, so half jjajangmyeon, and half something else.

We got the jjampong (짬뽕) and mandu (만두). It cost $10 and $9.50 respectively.

This was the banchan provided. Some kimchi, pickled radish (delicious), chapchae noodles, and some seaweed. I loved the pickled radish, and kimchi was somewhat sour, but edible. The chapchae was alright, the standard stuff.

Here is everything! We both got a bowl of jjajangmyeon, and we shared the mandu and champong. 

The jjajangmyeon was alright, it was good but had so much sauce. Too much for me, but the sauce was very good when you got the pieces of meat. 

The mandu was crispy, and hard to get wrong. Its just the standard deepfried mandu. 

However, my favourite thing was the champong. It was absolutely phenomenal. I commented to my sister that it tasted like ramen soup base. It was spicy and flavourful, and ate it all despite being full. This soup came with rice, and contains chapjae noodles, with shrimp, squid, onions and other veggies. I just loved it and would buy this dish alone.

I will deffinetly return. 

We got there early too, so service was pretty good. In the end, we paid $25 for our lunch. A bit expensive for lunch, but i enjoyed it. One of the best korean food I had (dont get me started on owl or nak won)

 

Ramune~~

Does anyone know what this is?

It's Ramune!! It's a japanese soda that contains a marble. It's a little gimmicky, but so cute.
I got this recently when my parents bought it for me. It cost around $2, so it was quite expensive for 200 mL of soda.

Opening it takes some skills. The marble is the device that keeps it closed. There is a poker thing that pushes the marble down to open.

So, when you open it, you get this green thing. Push the middle....

And pop! That's the thing you will put on the top.


So place it on top like so and...

Push down hard! Put constant pressure over it so the soda won't bubble over.

Look at all the bubbles. And that's the marble you get.

:) so enjoy your ramune. Now, the only thing we have to do it get that darn marble!
