Vampires, Soondubu, and DIY charms



I was tired from the week and the hype from the X Japan concert did zap a lot of my energy. Meeting up with my friend, Lily, on a weekday may zap even more energy away from me, but it turned out to be a day well spent. We ended up going to several places (and discovering a new one) in one day. To sum it all up, we went to see Dracula Untold, ate soondubu, and found a wholesale store. Taking a breather once in a while really relaxes the nerves. I feel less tense now and perhaps will get a better night's sleep. The thing that bothered us all day was the humidity and warm weather altogether. October is suppose to be dry and cooler here.

BCD Tofuhouse Review


Copyright BCD Tofuhouse

Just yesterday I went with my friends to BCD Tofuhouse on 32nd St of Manhattan to try some authentic Korean cuisine. The closest to Korean cuisine I have tried is kimbap lunch at Woorijip (located nearby), kimchi chigae at Food Gallery (also nearby), and jars of kimchi bought at supermarkets. I think this experience is more accurate as to what to expect from dining in Korean establishments. Meals begin with banchan which translates to side dish, but I think appetizer may be the more appropriate meaning. They're small in portion and they get refilled while you dine. Plus they are free. BCD Tofuhouse specializes in soondubu, a tofu soup served in a stone pot. I think their prices are worth it even though the lunch specials didn't run on weekends. If they did, I would have gotten a bulgogi combo.
