Sweet Rice

Green Tea Shaved Ice

Sweet green tea shaved ice hides under sweet red beans, vanilla ice cream, cubes of chewy Korean rice cakes (tteok, or ttuk, or dduk), corn flakes and almond slivers.

Some are packed and ready to go. […]

Masterpiece

Dumplings In Chili Oil

This blend of spices, sesame and chili oil was divine.

We were graciously offered rice to devour the remainder as we waited for the rest of our meal. Every table in this cozy little restaurant was […]
