Little Korea, on Bloor St between Christie and Bathurst, is where I head anytime I am too tired to cook (which is pretty often). I know I can always get a meal for under $10 from one of the many yummy restaurants, the only hard part is deciding where to go. I used to have weekly arguments with a guy I was dating (we never fought about anything else) because he always wanted to go to the red place, and I always wanted to go to the green place. Because the restaurant names are usually in Korean, the colour of their signs and their proximity to Clinton’s is generally what I use to describe them. But I digress…
The green place has a proper name, and it’s Buk Chang Dong Soondooboo Dolsot Bap. It only has nine items on the menu, but those items are so mind-blowingly good that you couldn’t wish for more. (And, according to a picture on the wall, neither could former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson). My favourite is the broiled BBQ (beef) and hot stone pot rice, which will run you $8.85, followed closely by the soybean soon tofu and the hot stone pot bibimbap at $7.53 each. If you feel like going slightly over our $10 limit, get a nice, cold Hite beer. And don’t be afraid to ask for refills on the little snack dishes!
