A strong craving for kimchi stew on a chilly Saturday evening had me randomly searching for Korean food in the west and tada, @mykorean to the rescue! Helmed by a mother and son team, they have transitioned from a home-based business during the circuit breaker period to a 2-month old restaurant in NEWest mall. And we heard, that there are plans for expansion with NEWest being the first restaurant despite the family living in the east. I feel blessed to be a Westie living in the vicinity. 😌
Headed right straight for a bubbling hot Sundubu Jjigae (spicy soft tofu stew), featuring a broth made with their aged signature kimchi that’s boiled overnight. That explained the robust flavor and a pretty long lasting heat that kept my tummy warm. 😅 Brimming with ingredients such as enoki mushroom, clams and egg, but what I loved most was the chunky, silky tofu which melts almost instantly. Perfect on a rainy day.
