Honey Pig Gooldaegee Korean B-B-Q

December 27, 2010 By Anna Leave a Comment

For Christmas, I went to Gool daegee, Honey Pig 2, Korean BBQ Restaurant in Ellicott City with my good friend June. This is the only restaurant around this area
that's 24hours open. Their main specialty is BBQ but they have many other
dishes and Entrees. June and I usually go for Pho to Pho Dat Thanh so a server there remembers us ha ha ha... but we decided to eat something different for
the Christmas.

I haven't had Samgyupsal for the longest time... so
we headed to Honey Pig. Samgyupsal(direct translation meaning Three layered meat) is like bacon but fresh not smoked. Oooooo~

We ordered 2 servings of Samgyupsal and each of us ordered cold noodle soup, Nangmyun. I ordered Mul Nangmyun and June ordered spicy Bibim Nangmyun.

December 13, 2010 By Anna Leave a Comment

Bought this at H mart for $9.99. I stopped by Lotte and found out that they have the exact same brand for $10.99.

Hmmmm....anyhow...I wanted Wang Sohn Mandu (meaning Giant Handmade Mandu). In fact, that's what the package says.

Lunch at Panera Columbia, MD

December 9, 2010 By Anna Leave a Comment

My lunch @ Panera Bread in Columbia, MD. I got 'You pick two' with Garden vegetable and Chicken Cobb salad.

I love their coffee too. I always drink dark roast mixed with couple drops of Hazelnut. It gives just hint of Hazelnut aroma that coffee still tastes good after it gets cold. Mmmm~

They have rewards card there too. I just got one. Not sure how it works but 'rewards' always sounds good to me!

How does it work anyways?
I registered online and supposed to have first free espresso drink for registering. Nice~ Not sure how valuable it will be after this or how often I'll be getting something back....

Anyhow...What's your favorite at Panera?

A peek into the Korean Culture-Pepero/Pocky Chocolate Snack Day

November 11, 2010 By Anna Leave a Comment

]Today, November 11th is Pepero Day. Pepero is Korean 'Pocky' chocolate covered stick biscuit. 11/11 is the shape of Pepero/Pocky...that's why. It seems like this day is also treated as a day for the couples like Valentine's Day as we know it.

This is the original Pepero. There are almond ones too and all different flavors of Pocky. Pocky is Japanese...just letting you know.

Pho Dat Thanh Vietnamese Restaurant in Columbia, MD

October 28, 2010 By Anna Leave a Comment

When it rains or cold wind blows, I love to eat steamy hot soup that warms me up and I usually end up at Pho Dat Thanh Vietnamese Restaurant in Columbia, MD. I think this restaurant has clean taste compared to other restaurants...or I just got used to this restaurant soup. Hah. Many Koreans also go to eat pho when one catches a cold or has a hangover. Koreans eat soup like Clear bean sprouts soup or pho like this for hangover.


Sometimes I get "Triple Delight" dish which is not a soup but has 3 different kinds of meat over the vermicelli. It's good with fish sauce that comes with it. But most of the time I usually get this D12...( I just love hot soup soooooooo much) [Read more...]

Quick meal-Japchae Bob with Trader Joe’s Soyaki Sauce

September 30, 2010 By Anna Leave a Comment

I was about to pass out if I didn't eat something fast.

I opened my fridge hoping there's something (please~) I can eat.
I found leftover Japchae*, Stir fried glass noodles with veggies, Yay food!

I need to heat it up but thought of just stir frying with steamed rice to make a quick single meal.
Usually I would need to put soysauce and stir fry but I wanted to try little different taste. I am not a big fan of Japchae... (being Korean doesn't mean I have to like it right?) so I wanted it to taste it little different.

I found this Trader Joe's Soyaki Sauce we just bought to try with Chicken.

It has strong ginger flavor, which I love, so I used Soyaki instead of regular soy sauce.
