food stuffs

the past week has been pretty exciting in my food world.

korean food___________
across the street from Seb's on broadway near fraser is a new korean restaurant that replaces the korean tofu soup restaurant that i had wanted to try but never did.

the new korean restaurant serves skewers, bulgogi, bibimbob, bbq eel on rice, etc.

besides the deliciously prepared food are some other wonders:
1) the entire interior of the restaurant is covered in orange tarp.
2) the middle of the restaurant has these large cauldrons of their version of miso soup.
3) the menus are written on big, old soup pot lids
4) the chairs are blue plastic stools

be warned, the place gets packed by 6:30pm.

oh, also, we were able to order makalee which is rice wine and it tasted home brewed and was waay cheaper and tastier than the soju. btw, the makalee is not on the menu. it was advantageous having rob there to order this drink.






cheese and olive party___________
this past saturday, rob and i attended the swankiest party we've ever been to. the location was a remodelled 1950s house in the dunbar/southlands area.

it was like stepping into an issue of dwell magazine.

and then there was the amazing selection of cheese to be had. the hostess sourced the best and most exclusive cheeses then presented them along with fruit, breads, and olives.

something that surprised me was how friendly this mostly affluent crowd was. everybody smiled as you walked past them. every single one.

you know how people say money doesn't make you happy? well, if i had the money to live in this house, i think i would rather happy.
