I've made variations of that several times.  Although I didn't know it was called that.  The other spelling looks more familiar to me. (jjamppong)

no, it wasn't hot enough, and it was a li'l fishier-smelling than I've had before, there was no beef and there was no sea cucumber.  but my main complaint was the noodles.  these were only slightly chewier than chow mein noodles.  the champong noodles I had previously become accustomed to are like none other I've ever had:  they're white, roughly the shape of chow mein noodles but slightly thicker, and their chewiness was unrivaled.  the first bite is almost as rubbery/ springy as biting into a squid tentacle.

yeah, these guys spelled it "Zam Pong".  it was a Korean place that also did some Chinese dishes.  my only other encounters with this dish were at strictly Chinese places that made it and it wasn't on the menu.  at least one of those places is gone now and the other is in Fremont and I don't want to go to fucking Fremont!

I love Korean food, especially the pan chan (i think it's called) all the little appetizers they give you. I've never had that soup though.

I like the spoons they use. I once saw an Asian porn vid where she jacked some dude off into one of those spoons then she ate it..it was cool as fuck.

There's a Korea Town on west Dempster near work - the one my mother in law likes is not very good but it's very authentic and they have a lot of weird ass soups.

I don't get it.  this "Korea Town", is it a restaurant or an entire Korean district located on one street?  also, by not very good but very authentic do you mean not Americanized like Chinese food?

There is a rice noodle that is super chewy. Same stuff they make rice cake out of (like noodle but in block form). Or is it buckwheat.

like these? i don't know whose noodles we're talking about now. Lumpy's noodles or the noodles that Boxy Brown had or choice C - none of the above.

This is what I was thinking of (re: rice cake) but maybe that's not it (I meant in noodle form, too)



Bunch of info via Google ("chewy Korean noodle") but no definitive answer, and I don't feel like digging. Could be the right noodle for bowl #2, just not cooked the same way. Or different noodle.

There's a spicy tofu casserole (in fiery red sauce, with kimchee) that has slices of chewy rice cake in it... yumm-oh

I think it's called rice cake, I dunno :*(

the more I read on this, it seems that perhaps it was a Chinese dish that got Koreanized somewhere along the way.  Chinese restaurants = Chinese noodles?  I'm thinking:  very possibly.  next stop- Chinatown!

and then that Chinese dish was Japanesed and became Champon. tis a delicious cycle.
