I chose the Seafood Cham Pong, just shy of $8. Cham (rhymes with “I’m”, ch abbreviated and close to a j sound) Pong with a long o (that’s what she said) is a Korean noodle dish with a spicy broth. The waitress asked if I could take the heat and I replied with a timid hesitant yes wondering if I chose wisely.
The Cham Pong arrived complete with a scary blistering orangish red hot color, and I was about to would wimp out. After recovering from the momentary scare, I took the plunge. My fears were unfounded as the first bite brought forth perfect heat. The noodles were spongy with a slight bounce back. Very nice. The soup had an assortment of vegetable which was also nice. The lone disappointment was the miserly seafood. It had two mussels, three shrimp, and maybe it was my imagination a few almost indiscernible bits of squid. I have limited experience with Korean food and lack the frame of reference and vocabulary to describe the flavors of the Cham Pong but it was good.
Lucky China’s Korean food prices are higher than for their Chinese dishes.
