Shanghai Mong
Three blocks west, the neighborhood morphs into Koreatown. This stretch of 32nd
Street bustles day and night with visitors to Korean karaoke bars, shops and 24-hour
restaurants.
Shanghai Mong is at the center of it all. Between its Chinoiserie décor and cheongsam-
clad servers, it’s hard to believe this is not a genuine Chinese restaurant.
Invented by Chinese immigrants, Korean-Chinese food is a century-old genre unique
to South Korean port cities. Melding traditional Chinese techniques with local Korean
ingredients, the results bear no resemblance to the food at your local Panda Express.
A classic example is a bowl of jajangmyun, thick housemade noodles dressed with a
black bean sauce. Known as a Korean comfort dish for lonely hearts, jajangmyun is
served every year on Black Day (April 14th) – an unofficial holiday for singles. Vanity
mirrors are placed above single place settings so those dining alone can keep
themselves company during the meal.
For a touch of the familiar, the meal still ends with a fortune cookie – which, Jennifer 8.
Lee will have you know, is a Japanese invention.
