I took the ride because I had read on here that they carry fresh flat rice noodles for chow fun and it took me 35 minutes to locate them but they do have them. Due to the language barrier I was lead to different places and told by a few others they didnt carry them but after I remembered seeing some fresh noodles in the produce section, I found them sitting there with the tofu. They are not with the other fresh noodles section located near the meats. Im excited for my first homemade batch of beef chow fun tomorrow night, well see how that goes.

I noticed that the very walnut cake food stand pictured above in Gary's post is now selling Korean fried chicken AND some pretty tasty panko covered corn dogs. Since I had just eaten some great noodles at Lai Lai, I bought a corn dog to go, which was still all right about an hour or so later on my car ride back downstate to Bloomington.
By the way, if you ever have the same dilemma as I often do, where you can't decide to get jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) or jjampong (spicy seafood noodles in broth), Lai Lai offers a combo called jjamjamyun, which is offered in a bowl that's divided in half. The only other place where I've seen this offered in Chicagoland is at VIP Restaurant on Montrose. For people who can't decide which Korean-Chinese noodle dish they like better, this is a grand option!
