Just when you thought you were ripped off.

Last night Jeremy and I didn't get around to dinner until we were so hungry that we both felt sick, so instead of cooking we decided to go out for jajang. Jajang is a sort of Chinese-Korean food unlike any Chinese food I've ever had in Canada. It is a big bowl of wheat noodles with a thick dark brown sauce that I think is made of black soybeans. At the restaurant we go to it has peas, onions and some type of meat in it. It is really really tasty. As side dishes our restaurant serves raw white onions that you dip in a black paste, kimchi (of course) and the most delicious mondoo (Korean dumplings) that are baked not boiled. Mr Che says baking them like that makes them Japanese style, but whatever style they are, they are to die for. Anyway, this wasn't meant to be a drool over delicious food post. When we paid for our meal, we were charged 10,000 won, but usually it is only 7000. We assumed they must have charged us for our mondoo. That annoyed us especially because we only get 4 of them and usually we get 6. So to go from 6 free mondoo to 4 mondoo that we had to pay for was more then a little lame. We didn't feel like arguing the point so we just left. As we walked away we discussed being ripped off and that it would be a while before we returned. Then a scooter started to come up behind us and Jeremy said "it's probably them going to give us our change". I laughed, but sure enough the guy that served us our food (not the guy who charged us for it) drove up to us and handed us 3000 won, with many apologies! Very cool. We will definitely be going back for jajang again soon.
