Myeongdong Gyoja, ???? ????
By the time we reached the shop, it was just before noon, and already a queue was forming. However, turnover rate was very decent, and within 5-10 minutes we were seated down and perusing the menu. The decision making process was simplified as there were only 4 options: soupy noodles, milky broth noodles, cold noodles, gyoza, and they each cost...[Please read the rest of this post on my website =) Thanks!]http://www.pigpigscorner.com/
