Gahm Mi Oak - NYC

In my effort to introduce Him to some real Korean food, last night I took him to one of my favorite Korean restaurants in K-town, Gahm Mi Oak. It's a great place to get warmed up with Korean style comfort food, and they are famous for their Sul Long Tang and Bin Dae Duk.

Sul Long Tang is a white ox bone soup that has been simmered for hours served with slices of beef, rice, and white noodles. Right before you eat it, you add raw scallions and salt/pepper to taste.

The Sul Long Tang was so good, I ate half of it before I realized I forgot to take a picture! lol. And of course, one cannot have the complete Sul Lung Tang experience without a side of the most kick-ass kimchi! This place makes their own kimchi, and it is so nice and juicy, it's the perfect complement to the mild beefy taste of the Sul Long Tang.

Kimcheeeee

The weather was pretty cold last night, and this dish just hit the spot.

I know He loves Bin Dae Duk (Korean pancakes made from mung beans with pork, scallions, and other vegetables in it) and I finally took him to a place where they make them authentic. In my opinion, this is definitely one of the few places in NYC where you can find authentic Korean pancakes the way it's supposed to be made.

That was a good meal. mmm.
