â–²Testimonial (Shikigami's phone stopped): It's a house with very good basic skills. The amount of chapchae rice isn't a joke, but it usually comes out small. The slightly greasy and spicy chapchae can be eaten after eating all the rice and adding beer and flower bread.

The exterior of the restaurant looked really old, and I was really looking forward to the taste. The chapchae rice also came with a red chapchae topped with soft-boiled fry, and it was delicious.

â–²Testimonial (Shikigin Kakamashi): This is a famous beef stew among many Chinese restaurants in Pyeongtaek and Songtan. The interior, which is reminiscent of a rural Chinese house, is charming. If you eat chapchae rice, it comes with a sharp champon soup. The appearance of sprinkling pepper with almost no oil is unique, and it blends well with the grainier and sharper soup than I expected.

The characteristic of chapchae rice seems to be that it is made with fried rice. The chapchae rice was delicious, and the champon was just as tasty. They also seem to make a lot of jajang.
