Hyo Dong Gak

A couple Fridays ago, CT and I were relaxing at home after another long week of work when it came time to think about what to do for dinner. I made the decision that we should skirt the norm and actually go out to get something to eat. I suggested a quick, casual meal at one of my favorite Korean restaurants, Han Bat, but CT wasn’t really in the mood for pajeon and bibimbap. I then suggested getting Korean-Chinese next door to Han Bat at Hyo Dong Gak. They specialize in a noodle dish called jjajjungmyun. It was almost two [...]

Miss Korea BBQ

Sometimes, DLS decides he wants to eat a particular dish, and he tasks me with finding that dish at a restaurant. Sure, I can do that, and this time it was super easy: Korean style beef tartare or yukhwe, which, you may recall, I accidentally ordered for BeerBoor once upon a time at BCD Tofu House. Unfortunately – especially because I really enjoyed BCD for their soondubu (soft tofu stew) – BCD has since closed its location in Koreatown, so I had to scramble and find another place… which I did, with Chris’s help… but then that place turned out [...]

Sik Gaek

As you may have realized by now from reading my blog, I adore Hungry. So when her birthday came around, I asked her where she’d like to go. She said Sik Gaek, gave me a guest list, and I happily planned a large group outing to this mystical place where you can eat live octopus, other live sea creatures, and Anthony Bourdain had once visited (so I’m told; I don’t watch that show). Do note that we went to the one in Sunnyside, because it’s closer to public transportation than the one in East Flushing. We wound up a group [...]

Bon Chon

As you probably already know, we at Feisty Foodie love Korean Fried Chicken, particularly at Bon Chon. A couple months back, InBundles came out with a deal of $20 for $40 worth of food from the Bon Chon near the Empire State Building. After I bought the deal, I saw the fine print that it was basically only available if you go before 5 pm. With the proliferation of deal websites out there, I have come to the realization that these deals can end up being the proverbial albatross around my neck. It seems most of the deals I purchase, [...]

Dok Suni

One rainy Tuesday night, I got tickets for DLS and I to watch Mock Your World – a hilarious music act of sorts making fun of everything, though focusing mostly on musical theater.  In any case, he wisely pointed out that we’d be hungry beforehand and asked if we could have Korean food.  I’m nothing if not accommodating (hahaahahahahhhah!), so I quickly checked the internet and found that within reasonable walking distance was Dok Suni.  (Though he’ll tell you that my idea of ‘reasonable walking distance’ is not quite what everyone else thinks, he’s WRONG!!  Chinatown to Hell’s Kitchen is [...]
