Crispy fried squid at Gyodong Jjamppong, Cheongju Chinese restaurant
Gyodong Jjamppong Yongjeong Branch is a Chinese restaurant in the Korea Mart food alley in Yongjeong-dong, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju, Chungbuk. On this repeat visit with her younger child, who asked for squid, the writer ordered a large jajangmyeon (noodles in black bean sauce), the 7,000 won extra-mini sweet-and-sour pork, crispy fried squid and spice-level-1 jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup). The 24-hour aged house-made noodles hold their texture, so Gyodong Jjamppong is an easy pick for a slow meal with a child.
