| - Oh.. My... God... I am full!
I arrived home from this restaurant tonight and did not even want to brush my teeth - but I did! I wanted this taste to linger in my mouth for-ever!!!!!!!!!!!
13 of us gathered to share some Asian Fusion Tapas, kind of a new thing for me, and I personally had never been to this place before. MMMMM. What a gem!
We found this eatery easily in a house converted to a restaurant with free parking after 6pm in a lot across the road. What ambiance this place has! Low lighting, up to the minute decor - a perfect date place. The hostess was great! The server was pure awesomeness, one of the best out there. No water glass ever stayed empty complete with a little cranberry for decoration! Nor did our little Soju shot glasses ever go empty ! :)
As we waited for everyone to arrive, a few of partook in some Kimchee and flavoured Soju. WOW, why have I not had this sweet, juicy, alcoholic drink before? The first one we tried was lychee. Then came the aloe vera (huh? I know, I said that too but it worked!) then the mango, then the passion fruit. I would have to say the mango won out. I will be back here for this drink alone!
We went through hours of eating, doing a tasting getting more and more stuffed until of course we all ended the evening with the best popsicle I have ever had.
Food:
Spicy chicken wings (my fave) I did not know Korean food could be so spicy - my own cayenne pepper never needed to make an appearance! :)
Fish, head on
Yam fries with a truffle dip (my fave #2)
Crispy tofu
Clams in a black bean sauce
Oysters on the half shell, raw
Lettuce wrapped grilled pork shoulder, steak (loved), lemon grass chicken with allllll kinds of garnishes and sauces
The creamy popsicles came in banana (my choice), strawberry, melon and mango.
Everything at this place was perfect, even the music was varied and had a good vibe. Of course good food has to be shared with good people and we had that going for us tonight! Washrooms, spotless. I heard that this place is NOT open for lunch and that they are closed on Sundays.
A must try when you can go and remember the Korean rule (#6 maybe?) Never let a friend's glass go empty!
Cheers!
