Mr. Bee and I had dinner at Hanbat tonight because I was really getting sick of Kun Jip. It was decent, didn’t like the jaeyook bokkeum too much, but I’ll give it anothe try. My dream is to open a Korean/Mexican/Thai/Dungeness Crab/Top Dog Hot Dog restaurant in New York. All the foods I miss.
Jaeyook/kimchi bokkeum, sullungtang and ojinguh bokkeum.
Check out these huge rice cookers.
After dinner, Mr. Bee and I went home and we were just hanging out. He said to me, “Your gums are bleeding!” I said, “Are you sure?” He double checked and said that they were. (Note – it was pretty dark.) I went to the bathroom to look in the mirror and saw…. gochugaroo (red pepper flakes) stuck on my gums. Hahahaha… The moral of the story is, always check your teeth after eating Korean food.

i love the little side dishes you get. in japan they are freaking expensive for those sides, but i bet you get them for free.

hahahahaha!!! that gochugaroo thingy is funnny..
dat sulltung tang looks good….xDDDD
hahahaha … han bat used to be better … back in the day … i swear!
check ur gums before making out.
the first time i ate out with my husband the same thing happened to me..i didn’t realize it until i went home..so now i carry a toothbrush!
HAHA…
one time i was eating jjajjangmyun with my fiancee and she was like, ‘honey, you have a raised mole. i’ve never seen it before. you need to get it checked out.’
turned out to be a speck of jjajjang sauce…
haha
i think han bat sullung tang is better than gamee ok’s.. but still doesn’t compare to the han bat in LA.. the kimchi bokkeum bap at the NY han bat is pretty good..
i like han bat’s dol sot bibim bap! man i wish they had korean food on the island here. but i’ve been using some of your recipes and some of the things i can find here to make that 1 or 2 dishes. i can’t wait to go back to the states to eat my heart out of korean food!
nice pictures like yours makes me so hungry
i would love to go dining with you. haha
mmm kimchi bokeum.
my friend’s parents own hanbat.
i had topdog when i was in berkeley last week. it was ok.
oh, and i went to bamn! twice this wknd. it turns out we know the owner.
I swear it is impossible to eat Korean food without getting gochugaroo in my teeth!
my roommate saw top dog in korea. if korea why not NYC? do it.
i love the little side dishes.
since you’re the korean food expert, which are your favorite korean places in nyc?
hehe that is a funny story (:
wha?! You don’t use a toothpick?? isn’t it the KOREAN thing to do? Pick your teeth (like there’s no tommorrow)(cause my um-mah does that) again and again…like you never got that crap out of that ONE SPOT!?!? *lol* Just asking..=)
“…always check your teeth after eating Korean food”
So true. When I was in Korea this past summer, after almost every meal I ate, I felt the need to floss (I floss once a day). Never happens to me here.
magic word: dungeness crabs. oh, how i miss thee. it’s so hard to get them non-asian style here.
haha re bleeding gums. i always check my teeth after eating korean!
lol
LOL!
mmmm haaaanbat! =)
Hanbat has great delivery service. When I used to live in Herald Square, that place saved me many a mornings after long nights of drinking.
lol…i was thinking of this entry this morning and i found myself checking my teeth like 2-3 times on my way to work. i had kimchi ramen this morning for b’fast. i felt like i was coming down with a case of OCD. ^_^
Korean/Mexican/Thai/Dungeness Crab/Top Dog Hot Dog restaurant ??? better be SPAM there!!!!
This is the greatest xanga ever created.
Just wanted to let you know i love your site…it also keeps me busy googling korean food names

there’s a great guatemalan rest. in pal park called casa mia. 446 broad ave (201)947-7447
i would love to try a korean-mexican/latin fusion place. perhaps one will pop up in pal park. there are so many koreans and mexicans/guatemalans here, that it’s bound to happen any time soon….
cool! this site is awesome!
Oh man! Jaeyook and ojinguh bokkeum are my favorites! I miss them. I studied in Cheonan at the Nazarene Dae-hakyo for one semester.
