I have not done a food blog in a few months, its not that i haven't gone to new places its just been hard to find time to upload them. The other night we went to a Korean restaurant and it was hidden in a strip of Greek restaurants . It had a mixture of Japanese and Korean dishes but we decided to eat there anyway.

We ordered the Korean dishes because on many occasions when you order dishes from other cultures it can be disappointing. When ordering we always have favourites to try and these are them.

Tteokbokki  is sweet chili dish using vegetables and soft rice cake. Is never is super hot but always juicy and tasty.

Jap Chae is made of sweet potato noodles with vegetalable and either beef or chicken but we always go beef. Its a fun dish to eat with all the noodles as they stick together and it makes it harder to pick up.

Bibbimbap  is a mixed rice dish and normally you get it a ceramic type bowl and the rice gets very crispy. You get a chili sauce to mix in. It  has sliced vegies and a cooked egg on top. You wait a while for the rice to crisp up then add the chili sauce and mix it altogether.

Spicy fried chicken we decided to order the sweet chili chicken and it was deep fried chicken with an amazing sweet chili sauce. The chicken was very tender and juicy. It was not overcooked but just amazing and we will come back for this dish.

For a random Korean restaurant we really enjoyed it and will be back.

Coffee List COffee Number 2

Coffee List Number 2

As I look into the Coffee List, looking into our pantry to see what we have and what we needed for my next drink. I really wanted to make the one with the egg yolk, But we had no brown sugar. So instead I decided to make the one with honey and cinnamon instead. I know you have seen some of these steps before but might as well load them up anyway ;)

 

 As usual i still use 9 grams of coffee, i have used about 1 teaspoon of honey.

Finally just a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. the honey just adds a bit of sweetness if you have crappy beans. ( so i am probably wasting my good ones). It was fun making different types of coffee. I bought my brown sugar and condensed milk last night so in the next few weeks i will attempt at making a range of different coffees and add pictures.
