| - At Buk Chang Dong, for $8 you can stuff yourself with delicious spicy tofu soup, rice, and all those crazy Korean side dishes. Even if you're not a fan of this style of soup you have to recognize that they do things right here.
I had a regular spicy vegetarian soup ($7.08) which comes with mushroom, zucchini, broccoli, and onion. Apart from the broccoli, the only vegetable to maintain its texture after boiling, the vegetables don't really do much; it's all about the silky smooth tofu and spicy broth. I love the purple rice this came with and I wish I got a second bowl. And, of course, you also get 4 different sides. My favourites are the spicy pickled vegetables and the bean sprouts which have a nice smoky flavour; I'm not a kimchi guy.
Apart from the food the experience is also fun. I love the ritual of cracking the egg into the bubbling soup and transferring the rice from the stone bowl.
I brought a bunch of people from work, some of whom aren't very adventurous with food, and everyone went away happy with the food, the experience, and the price.
