This tofu is hot, hot, hot! I finally made my way out to Buk Chang Dong to experience their much hyped soon tofu and it was everything I had not known to have hoped for. My assorted veggie tofu and my friends' kimchi tofu and stone bowl rice were all vibrant to the eye and flavourful on the tongue.
Seeing as that we were all pretty much first-timers to this type of Korean fare, we were unfamiliar with some of the etiquette. Instead of laughing (aloud) at us, our server was most helpful in confirming that the raw egg gets cracked and stirred into the soup (and not the rice as they do in Japan) and that whether you eat the tofu soup and rice dishes separately or mix them together is up you.
The four sides of sticky beans, spicy kimchi, fresh beansprouts, and crunchy marinated veg were all refreshing accompaniments to the piping hot mains.
The quick and efficient service provided by the bright orange uniform clad servers was friendly. The glass storefront that is great for people and weather watching is bound to make you extra appreciative of the warmth of the indoors and fullness of your belly on cold winter nights.
