A friend with an extensive knowledge on Korean food suggested we go to Gahm Mi Oak for some selected authentic Korean dishes--dishes that are just as good as in the homeland.
Must dish:
Sul Long Tang, a snowy white ox-bone soup with white rice and white noodle, accompanied with scallion, salt and pepper on the side. A clear yet beefy flavored broth with thinly slices of beef. Add salt as you go. Next: Abai Soon Dae korean style pork sausage, steamed. Texture similar to a healthy version of a light meatloaf minus the bread crumbs, add in some rice vermicelli served in diagonal slices. Steamed intestines and cattle stomach were accompanied.
Gahm Mi Oak gets it right. It emphasizes and practices healthy Korean cooking, the way it should be. None of that fried stuff. You don't need the load of oil/ fat to accentuate food to satisfy the taste buds. If need compared, Gahm Mi Oak makes the usage of oil from conventional restaurants/ fast food joints look like the Hades of Grease, as Gahm Mi Oak would be portrayed as a monastery for capturing the simple and minimalistic approach to good eating.
So if there is anything we've learned today, kids, is that: Tasty food come steamed too. Who'd ever thought?
