| - I would never have discovered this place if it hadn't been for the yelp reviews, purely because it is located out of the way from me and frankly in a bit of a dodgy area in Mississauga. But I'm glad I tried this place because it is good, and proud to say, the first good experience I had with kimchi soups.
The menu is short and sweet, which is perfect for the indecisive. I ordered the Kimchi Tofu soup with the expectations that it would knock my pants off. Well, my pants stayed on, but admittedly, it was delicious. The tofu soup arrived with an egg, which was cracked into the soup. The flavour was just right and the smooth texture of the tofu was amazing. It would dissolve instantly in your mouth and the complementary purple rice was served with the perfect amount of sticky. That being said, I would not make a trip to this restaurant just for its soup, it hasn't quite reached that level for me.
The strange part for me, was that after the purple rice was scooped from the stone bowl, the servers poured hot water into it and said to eat the left over hanging rice on the sides of the bowl. UM? First thought was, is this some clever way to get customers to clean their bowls? After having some of the rice that was soaked in hot water, I was speechless. It tastes exactly how you would expect it to taste - soggy rice. Not good, not bad, there's not even a word to describe it. I must not be the only one perplexed about it, do people enjoy eating this?
