Founding Farmers Restaurant in Potomac, MD

October 31, 2012 By Anna Leave a Comment

My friends and I wanted to grab something to eat after a special early morning service at our church. HC led us to "Founding Farmers" saying that they have nice brunch. Turned out that they open later than usual on weekends. We were so hungry and angry. We ended up going to a different cafe for a quick breakfast.

H.C. promised he'll take us back there for the real Sunday Brunch and his treat!

So finally we went...
He made a reservation, just to make sure we can get a seat.  FYI, you can make a reservation online.

I am sure he wouldn't dare taking that risk with me again ...since
we tend to get really grouchy when we get hungry and no food...

well... maybe just me...my friends know to steer clear of me when I'm in that state...seriously...

Anyhow...we went there on Sunday around 11am. Nice atmosphere.

I didn't have chance to take pictures of the interior but it was nice and fresh. They are supposed to be eco-friendly and casual setting. We got to go upstairs, which felt more homey and warm. Felt like we were sitting in someone's dining room. Nice~ I liked how the servers had all different aprons on too. Cute.

On the way up to the upper dining area, I spotted this small mouse hole with fake mouse lighted... haha cute touch.

Full Key Chinese Restaurant Restaurant

May 21, 2012 By Anna Leave a Comment

We went to Full Key restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is small and tightly spaced so don't plan on going there as a large group. About 6 of us went and it was really tight and awkwardly spaced.

I don't really like how the tables are set there, but I loved the food. It's not greasy and with hodge podge of decorations, I felt like I was somewhere out of country...Ha ha...

I love their price and the food is great!

Pei Wei Asian Diner in Columbia, MD

February 20, 2011 By Anna 1 Comment

I was driving around and got hungry...what to get ...what to get...need to eat...now...

My options I could think fast in Columbia, MD for a quick meal was Chipotle, Cosi, Pei Wei, Noodles & Company...etc.

I was near Pei Wei so I checked out their website since I've only been there once years ago.

So, Pei Wei was created by PF Chang people and seem to have Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese...
And to my surprise they had 'Limited Time Only' (is that for real...?) Korean BBQ. Hmm...'Korean"??
I gotta go check that out and review that dish. LOL.

I know people just name our Korean BBQ to whatever sauce they invent. Just hoped that this one is not another new creation afar from the original Korean BBQ. [Read more...]

Hasung Korean Chinese Cuisine@ Hanoori Town in Catonsville, MD

January 27, 2011 By Anna 2 Comments

This was one of my RECOVERY menu from the flu. Ha ha... I was craving Jjajangmyun for days...I've tried Jjajang Ramyun to ease my craving but had to go get the real one.

My friend Q and I went to Hasung Korean Chinese Restaurant/Carryout in Hanoori Town food court (this food court used to be Beseto located next to Catonsville H-Mart).  We think they have the best Jjajangmyun in Maryland.

Every Korean Chinese has 2 main dishes; Jjajangmyun and Jjamppong and it's not the regular Jjajangmyun but Gan Jjajang Myun that you gotta try at Hasung.

First of all, in case you are not too familiar with Jjajang Myun itself, it's made with black bean paste, called chunjang. Chunjang is cooked with veggies and meat and later mixed with noodles. Usually Jjajangmyun comes out in one bowl with Sauce over the noodle.

Gan Jjajang Myun comes out in two separate bowls, one noodle and one sauce bowl. [Read more...]

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.

Sushi King Japanese Restaurant in Columbia, MD

December 28, 2009 By Anna 3 Comments


For my mom's (Young) birthday I treated my parents to some Japanese. I like Sushi King Japanese Restaurant in Columbia, MD. Although it's not owned by Japanese...'there aren't that many Japanese owned restaurants here...' their sashimi (raw fish) are thick and fresh enough for me. Love it!

Vit Goel-Lighthouse Tofu House-Korean Restaurant in Rockville, MD

October 15, 2009 By Anna 2 Comments

Menu for Vit Goel Vit Goel Restaurant Specializes in Soondooboo/Soondubu Jjigae, which is Soft Tofu stew. I love their stew. There's another Vit Goel in Virginia, but I think Rockville Vit Goel tastes better. Sometimes they expect you to order as soon as you seat down...(impatient servers as usual) but their service is pretty good.

Since it specializes in Soondubu, there are many different style of Soondubu Jjigae and you can choose how spicy your stew will be. You can even choose to make it not spicy at all.

This is the menu on the table. You might need to ask for a menu if you want to order sushi but most of what they offer will be on this small menu. Top half is your choice of Tofu soup and bottom half is different dishes like Galbi, other seafood dishes. They marked spicy ones and nicely described ingredients so you should have no problem.

Update-Wong Gal Bi Restaurant in Baltimore, MD

October 8, 2009 By Anna Leave a Comment

I just drove by today and saw that this Restaurant is OUT OF BUSINESS.

They have tried to do different menus to attract customers but guess failed to do so.
Last time I went (I went back couple more times after the post) I was very dissatisfied and never went back again due to lack of quality. Maybe that's what others thought as well or maybe the bad economy. Or..did it just move? Anyone know anything about this?

If you want to see what kind of restaurant it was way back in January 2009 click here...

Allgreen Market-Poongnyun Foodcourt in Glen Burnie, MD

September 16, 2009 By Anna 14 Comments

Remember the Fresh World International Market in Glen Burnie, MD?
Allgreen International Market
It is now under new management called Allgreen. Fresh World seemed to focus more on Latin groceries and etc. I couldn't really find good amount of Korean stuff. But Allgreen seem to organize aisles nicer with clearly labeled aisle signs. I'm not sure how much more Korean stuff they got though...if you know, please let us know if the change is better.

Well for my quick glance, other than the sign and some aisle changes (seemed like they are still figuring out where to place what...very far right wasn't used at all...) nothing much changed. Next time I get to go there, I'll look more into their inventory. Oh, they actually blocked the way to the cashier from the entrance side. I think they did it so that the traffic could flow through all the other side.

Anyhow...Poongnyun Restaurant or the food court remains the same along with the sushi bar. This time we tried Bibimbap (Many Namool/Cooked vegetables served over rice) and Jjamppong (spicy Korean Chinese noodle soup) this time. [Read more...]
