And I thought that my breath smelled bad BEFORE lunch.
Magical Property of Korean Food # 799: It clears out phlegm that you didn’t even know you had. Exhibit A: Spicy Korean Squid with a side dish of kim chee. (see photo on my flickr photostream, address at the end of this). My favorite Korean restaurant in town is, by far, Woori Jib, which apparently roughly translates as “My Home.” I wish.
The special joy about this place – apart from the ball-rocking good food – is that no matter how many times I eat here, they always ask if I want kim chee, something that is automatically given to all of the Korean customers, expecting the answer “No. Hell no. Good Christ, no.” But I always want it, and they’re always surprised. In fact, the first time I told them I wanted it -- and a lot of it -- the guy behind the counter replied, “But…you’re WHITE!” Indeed.
