[Baeknyeon-gage] Songjugjang

Songjugjang, the first Chinese restaurant, started in 1952 and run by Shin Moo-song, former chairman of the Overseas Chinese Restaurant Association, has the taste of its food preserved by Shin Yeon-kyung, the eldest son. This Chinese cuisine restaurant with 70 years of history has been handed down to grandchildren. Menu items are kept at affordable prices so that ordinary people aren’t burdened, and the entire third floor is open to customers, which is highly convenient. The secret of Songjugjang’s unique food is red pepper oil and noodles pulled out by hand. The spicy yet soft red pepper oil is Songjugjang's 70-year know-how secret. The noodles, pulled out of the noodle-making machine immediately after an order is placed, have increased texture and are well-appreciated by customers. Gochu jjamppong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup with Korean Chili Peppers) and Red Pepper Tray Black Bean Noodles, which use red pepper oil and noodles, are signature dishes of Songjugjang. Songjugjang, which has been purchasing ingredients from Shinsanghwahoe in Bukchang-dong since it started 70 years ago, provides Mul Mandu (Boiled Dumplings) and various Chinese dishes to the needy in the region every holiday.
