Today's adventure: Jjajjangmyun (Noodles with Black Bean Sauce) at Assi Plaza.
Sistas and I always make sure we eat here at least a few times a year when we are actually at home. It's always amazing and never a let down.
About five years ago, Assi Plaza opened up in the Northern Burbs of Chicago and a lil gem was born inside its Food Court: Lai Lai. Assi Plaza is a humungo Asian grocery store plus other Asian stores inside making it the site of a Lil Asia. (There's clothing stores, hair salons, bakeries, etc). Lai Lai is a lil counter-service stand that has tasty, inexpensive food. Everything I've had on the menu has been delicious.
located at: 8901 N Milwaukee Ave, Niles, IL (inside Assi Plaza) |
i had to save my white shirt from brown sauce |
Sistas Min and Twin decided as an appetizer to our meal, we would try out a Korean Corn Dog at another food stand in Assi, DooRae, which also sells Fried Chicken.
There are two options of hotdogs: regular (in the pic on the right) and potato (the one in the middle of the pic). We decided on the regular but one day I'll try out the potato one. (Those cubes around the hotdog are chunks of potato. Kind of looks like apple though...haha). The batter is topped with panko but I'm not so sure what was in the batter but it was pretty yummy. You can't go wrong with a hotdog on a stick. The lady drizzled ketchup AND dijon mustard but next time we'll stick with just mustard.
