| - Since I live pretty far north, I rarely make trips further than downtown. So if I am coming up from downtown or the deep south, I will forfeit Deerfoot Trail to make a detour to Chinatown for SooYummy. The shop is located in the same building as the HSBC bank and is also home to Try Again, Diamond Bakery, a Chinese medicine shop, butcher shop, and a hair salon. SooYummy has a small menu featuring Korean snacks like kimbap, hodo gwaja (red bean and walnut filled cake balls?), fish shaped cakes with red bean paste, rice cakes, soondae, etc. I usually get the original kimbap and 20 piece of hodo gwaja (10 for me during the commute back home and 10 for my family to fight over lol). Everything is reasonably priced and it is the place I go to for my Korean food fix (since I'm a vegetarian and most places are BBQ or has seafood in the dishes). Like most Chinatown establishments, cash is king, so bring enough, enough for a couple bowl cakes and egg tarts at Diamond Bakery next door, too ;)
