That’s what these are. Best 묵 I’ve ever had (acorn jelly? That doesn’t sound very tasty but it’s actually quite good) at Duru (두루) in Cheong Dam Special thanks to my lovely unnis (female friends who are older than me) in Korea :)

Hatfield’s: a Gastronomic Expedition
Situated on a quieter side of Melrose, Hatfield’s is one of the 10 best restaurants in America 2010 by Bon Appetit. Every dish is impeccably executed both presentation and taste wise- a must try! Can’t remember the exact name but it had cous cous and crab meat. I liked.. not only because it was on the house but it was just so precious. Croque Madame: Yellowtail sashimi, prosciutto, quail egg, grilled brioche. Perhaps my expectation was too high but I honestly wasn’t too impressed with this. I’m just not so sure about the sashimi+bread combo. I’ll stick with the traditional french toast. Squid Ink Garganelle: Dungeness crab, English peas, Lobster butter- as strange as it looks, this dish was one of my favorites. The chewiness of the pasta was flawless and it was so flavorful I could almost smell the ocean. Chocolate tarte with smoked vanilla bean ice cream...
Bazaar: a Dining Experience
Checked out the popular joint a few weeks ago. Yes, that’s an egg shell. don’t ask me how they do it… Paella-style Pasta. While it had the strong flavor that I was looking for, it was definitely too salty and strange for me. Well, I just had no idea that they would stir fry the pasta… :P One of the best dishes we had: Japanese taco? very different. refreshing. Looks like a taquito.. don’t remember what the filling consisted of but it was quite good. Cotton Candy Foie Gras. I know.. what?! Now I’m not a fan of Foie Gras to start with but this actually wasn’t bad.. Hubby liked it so much he had two. Bazaar’s interpretation of Philly Cheesesteak: Air bread with Wagyu beef layered on top with melted cheddar inside. Super yummy. This was my favorite dish and I can’t remember what it was called! bummer. nuts...
Seafood Galore
After a Magic Straight Perm, a hair cut, a bag of Chrysanthemum Bread, and a tour of Beverly Hills, we decided to head back to Korea Town for some good seafood: one happy family :) Appetizers which include a salad, spicy rice cake with seafood cooked on a table grill, dynamite, Korean pancake, sweet potato tempura, porridge, mussel stew, stir fried udon, etc. After you finish the clams, scallops, mussels, oysters, grilled shrimps, octopus, and squid, the waiter cooks rice in one of the shells with spicy sauce and seaweed… heavenly. Seafood galore for $39.99 We ate until we couldn’t breathe anymore, then took some home for lunch the next day. I had always wanted try a clam place (it’s very popular in Korea), yet didn’t think I would be able to see one in the states anytime soon. So glad I discovered this place. I would choose clams...
