A quickie post as I’m afraid this Chinese-Korean place is on its way to my “Death Watch” (if I ever had one). Death Watch is a term coined I first heard from my good friend Eli Zandman of Tomorrow’s News Today. It’s a list of businesses that, according to him, are “good as dead or [...]

Mr. BoBo: Golden House
The illustrious chef, Mr. BoBo, (as I fondly call him) has moved again. First Wan Lai. Then Bo Bo Garden. Now, Golden House. Mr. BoBo is a star chef among the Chinese. He’s like the Linton Hopkins of Cantonese cuisine and the talented version of Peter Chang minus the “wide-eyed” groupies and the New York [...]
Mr. Tea House
I am off to the beach as you read this. Funny, because I don’t really like the sun — I count the freckles on my face everyday and I don’t want to add any new ones– so I’m under a tent wearing a huge hat and caked-on SPF 1,388 all over. I really prefer cold [...]
Raku
the Chinese symbol for Happy So you all know by now how addicted I am to ramen, right? I ate 58 bowls last year and I’m up to 15 bowls this year (with my sister) so far. It’s only February, by the way, so I’m sure I’ll break my record last year. (Well, I’m not [...]
Vincent Bakery
Johns Creek
If you prefer a quieter atmosphere than most Korean bakeries then Vincent Bakery is for you. There are two locations: the first one opened on Medlock Bridge in Johns Creek, a stone’s throw from Super H Mart; and the newer other one is on Pleasant Hill next to What The Pho. The [...]
Find your way: Mega Mart
Today, just like the way our mom always talks to us (yeah, you should hear it) and in honor of her birthday, I will talk write in bullet points.
Inside Gwinett Place Mall in the old Macy’s.
This place is HUGE. You’ll have a difficult time finding anything.
Why are there a lot of American stuff? Isn’t [...]

Best Korean Dinner: Cafe Tohdamgol
I took the pork fat drippings and drizzled it over my rice. OMG.
I eat Korean all the time. There was one week in May last year that I ate it 7 times in a week. Crazy. I’ve been here many times. But the other night was the best Korean dinner I’ve [...]
New Orleans Seafood
Thanks to one of my readers, Bill Petrosky, who sent me an email the other day tipping me of this new seafood/po’boy place in Duluth. It is located a few doors down from What The Pho and Cafe Tohdamgol. Opened just two weeks ago by a Vietnamese family, it is really more of [...]
China House: hand-pulled noodles
I’ve been hitting the new Assi Plaza Duluth food court for lunch for the last couple of weeks. My newest obsession: hand-pulled noodles. From the Chinese stall. You’d get a kick out of watching Mr. Noodles pull and whack his pasta on a table.
The noodles are just perfect. Noodles are [...]
Assi Plaza – Duluth
Contrary to what most of you think, I do cook. As much as 2-3 times a week. But sometimes, not at all. I eat all my lunches and some dinners out and I don’t eat leftovers so I have to supplement that with home-cooked meals (mine or my mom’s). I go to [...]
Bulgogi burger @ Fusion YoriJori Burger
Yup, you heard it right. Korean burgers. BULGOGI burgers! KIMCHI burgers!
Korean tacos aren’t the new thing anymore. Korean burgers are. Today, I had a succulent burger marinated in bulgogi sauce. It was juicy and tasty. But you know what happens when you marinate ground beef — the consistency of the meat [...]
Haru Ichiban
I first came to Haru Ichiban close to 10 years ago. It was such a fantastic place that I came several times a week. Japanese sushi chefs in the city came to eat here all the time. I still see one or two of them every now and then — to eat ramen. Aside [...]
Shabu King
I come from a family who love hot pots. While Shabu-shabu and sukiyaki have always been the favorites, my mom particularly likes Chinese hot pots. However, I’m beginning to really love Korean hot pots. The newest addition to the Korean dining scene is Shabu King inside Park Village in Duluth where Super [...]
