On a recent trip to the Burnhanthorpe (Asian) area of Mississauga, Kerry spotted this place. We were back in the same area today and as we were heading to our Ramen spot Kerry suggested we check out this Korean place instead. I’m so glad we did.
Kerry had tea which was served in an insulated stainless steel cup (missed getting a photo but they were quite attractive). I had warm sake.
Kimchi pancake with its accompanying harem of banchan.
Seafood pancake.
Close-ups of the banchan.
A bowl of soup for each of us.
Some wonderfully crispy shrimp and vegetable tempura.
Throughout our lunch steaming bowls of this, that and the other passed our table. I am sure we will be in for a return visit.
I was facing a very large TV which was playing some Korean program which I am sure brought a little too much colour to my cheeks! Sheesh. I say it all in good fun but it definitely was nothing I’ve seen on North American TV.
But the nice thing about it was the lack of any loud background music or even anything from the TV. Just the sound of other peoples conversations surrounded us so that we were able to have an excellent conversation of our own.
Just as an aside, as I flipped through the well-illustrated menu I was struck by how many Korean dishes might have been mistaken for Japanese dishes. The food cultures seem to have so many things in common. Will need to hit the history books over the next few weeks.
Edited to fix Kerry “had to see” to Kerry “had tea”, even though everyone knows Kerry always has tea.
