@AskOksena I have heard so many great things about eating in Singapore. I feel like it's a must for me as soon as I can get myself together for a retuern to Asia.

Hi Shelemm and Kja,

Enjoyed reading your posts (and the threads) on your trips to South Korea. You might enjoy reading ours on our travelogue: Audre & Dimitri's Traveling Love Affair. We start with our flight and arrival in Seoul and it continues on our meanderings through the country. At the end of each post, if you want to continue chronologically, go to the end of the post (below the comment box) and click "Older Post" (yes, it's counter-intuitive). The first post is:

We have a Maryland Korean restaurant question for you. Once in Maryland in 1999 or 2000, we went to a Korean restaurant where a man was making noodles. We think it was off of the Rockville Pike but not yet in Rockville. If Hyattsville is a right hand turn off of Rockville Pike, it was in Hyattsville. We haven't been in the DC area since 1993 so our memories are fuzzy!

The man at this Korean restaurant would knead the dough by throwing it against a Plexiglas window between him and the customers. It was a blast watching him and hearing the “thump” of dough against the window.

We thought that we would find noodle makers throwing dough against windows all over Korea. We never saw even one. The closest we came was “the mom” putting her dough through a machine in the tiny restaurant.

Hyattsville is nowhere near Rockville Pike. There aren't many choices for Korean food near Rockville Pike, and nothing I've heard about regarding handmade noodles. There are a couple of ethnically Chinese Korean restaurants in Beltsville, MD. Those are the kind of places (noodle shops) that may have had something like that at one point.

Thanks for your reply. Oh well, I guess the noodle throwing was a once in a lifetime experience!

Fantastic trip report. Love the detail.
