Saronu-gil restaurant Mimingcheong
Tantanmen, mala mapo tofu, and sweet and sour pork recommended!
/
Saronu-gil has so many great restaurants, and among them,
I visited Mimingcheong, which is famous for Chinese homestyle dishes.
I heard the tantanmen and sweet and sour pork were delicious,
and the mapo tofu rice bowl was also highly recommended.
I enjoyed all three dishes!

Looking at the menu, they were also running an Instagram event,
and there were set menus too.
The dishes we wanted to try were not included in any set menu,
so we ordered everything a la carte.
The first dish that came out, tantanmen, had a nutty, spicy,
slightly salty flavor, with all kinds of tastes coming through.
It was really appealing, and if I visit Mimingcheong in Saronu-gil again,
I’ll definitely order the tantanmen again!

The sweet and sour pork also came in two versions:
regular glutinous rice sweet and sour pork and
kimchi cheese glutinous rice sweet and sour pork.
We ordered the kimchi cheese glutinous rice sweet and sour pork,
and since we had other dishes too, we got the half portion.
The amount was not lacking at all; it felt like just the right portion
of sweet and sour pork.
Eating kimchi and cheese together with the sweet and sour pork sauce
gave it a proper fusion sweet and sour pork feel, and it was really delicious lol

The mapo tofu rice bowl at Mimingcheong in Saronu-gil felt a little different
from the mapo tofu rice bowls I usually see!!!!
Mimingcheong’s mapo tofu has soft tofu hidden inside,
and it seemed to have a bit of mala flavor???
It was easy to eat without any resistance, and the portion was really generous.
A great restaurant in Saronu-gil

There were many people dining alone,
and many others ordering and eating a variety of dishes.
If I go again next time, I want to try the Chinese bibimbap rice bowl or Chinese bibimbap noodles too!
From other reviews, I also heard the white jjajang is really delicious.
Mimingcheong in Saronu-gil left me completely stuffed,
100% willing to revisit
