| - After starving ourselves the whole day -- not intentionally of course -- we needed a tried and tested formula to resolve our hungry situation. And like a stroke of genius, we thought... KOREAN FOOD.
Yes, you know, when your minds are set on satisfying that craving, there is no way you will let that up, especially since Yummy Korean Restaurant is our go-to in Koreatown.
Even at 9pm (Sunday), this place was still brimming with folks (good indication of like-minded souls who know good stuff) and with all these hungry-for-korean-food-veterans around -- there's no way we're gonna play around and waste time.
We swiftly zeroed in on the Kimchi stew along with the Hot Stone Bibimbap with Spicy Squid and when it came -- my goodness -- it was beautiful.
Maybe we were starving but this place always works its magic whenever we need a solid, affordable place to have a meal. And with the side dishes of potato, kimchi and beansprouts acting as delicious fillers while transitioning between kimchi stew and the soft, yet, chewy spicy squid atop the crisp-ed rice dish of the bibimbap -- it was heavenly.
From where I come from, we call this whole experience -- "shiok" -- which means, damn good, amazinggg and divine all rolled up as one.
It was probably the best $18 (total) we spent. And afterwards we thought to ourselves, what a great way to end off the week eh? Seriously, damn shiok.
