Daemeori Kalguksu, Mangpo (Suwon) — Clam Noodle Soup for 8,500 Won with the Review Event, and a Chewy, Crispy Cuttlefish Pancake
Our Mangpo kalguksu review 🍜
We had an errand in Mangpo-dong,
so on the way
we filled up first
at Daemeori Kalguksu (대머리칼국수).
We only stopped in
because it was near where we were going,
but this meal is what stuck with us.

🍜 The kalguksu: cheap and tasty
In a word: great value!
Kalguksu is Korean
knife-cut noodle soup.
The broth is milky white,
it comes topped with seaweed (gim),
and there are clams in it.
Clams in the broth — still in their shells
Lift the noodles
and this is what you get.

🦑 The cuttlefish pancake: chewy and crispy
The cuttlefish and chive pancake
we ordered with it
is the second thing we remember.
Packed with chives and fried thin,
its edges are crispy,
while the pieces of cuttlefish
you bite into here and there
are chewy.
You get both textures
together in one bite.
