* Gham Ppoongi (Sino/Korean sweet ginger/garlic chicken wings)
* Loads of little panchan (veggie side dishes and kimchi’s)
Care of the amazing Two Sisters Restaurant on 5th between Clement and Geary.
I ordered take out and was amazed with their generosity in little panchan!
3 types of kimchi, soybeans, broccoli, radish root, dried anchovies, more vegetables and….
Oh.My.Gawd. - Raw white onion. And a little tub of black bean paste.
In sino/korean OG school fashion,
I am chomping on slices of raw onion
splashed with strong white vinegar
and then dipped into a salty dense flavored black bean paste.
I’m in heaven.
The white onion is actually quite mild and when splashed with the vinegar, almost sweet and crunches like a slice of apple or celery.
Seriously. And it cuts through the black bean paste to a near overwhelming delight in taste.
To you, perhaps it sounds weird. To me: hurray.
Sino0Korean cuisine as I call it, is neither traditional pure Korean cuisine nor is it your typical Chinese cuisine. It’s something totally other. I don’t know if it’s what Chinese people think is Korean food or what Korean folks think is Chinese food but if you’re lucky to find a place that does JjaJjang Myun (mien), Ggham poongi, or Tang soo yok, then bless your stars. You’re in for a treat.
I quit smoking now 2 weeks ago. I figure I’m allowed to eat whatever the hell I want until I get over this hump of detox.Today has got to be my most unhealthy but tasty eating indulgence day *ever*. After another week I’ll be ready to move onto a normal diet again and moderate excercise. Walked nearly 30 blocks yesterday. That actually felt pretty awesome.
I have really cool blackbean onion vinegar breath right now. Who wants a kiss?
