- Peter Chang added a new meal Nice experience at VINHO at VINHO
going through their tasting menu at this wine bar with a Michelin star. Some very nice bites, and a good wine pairing that isn't stuffed full of "natural wines".

- Peter Chang added a new meal HUGE lunch at Born & Bred at Born & Bred
Returning to Born & Bred after 7 years, now at their expanded location. This was another speakeasy experience with Chef Min taking care of us, and portioning so that we don't get killed with food.
For me, this remains the temple of Hanwoo that beef lovers should worship at.

An amazing collaboration among 3 restaurants where the chefs worked to bring elements of Korean, Cantonese, and Malaysian cuisines into each dish.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Classic Korean dinner at Kwonsooksoo
A very tasty and interesting dinner featuring classic Korean cuisine. There is a kimchi cart - featuring 6 different kimchi that is found nowhere else - where diners can choose from (but only 2!)

- Peter Chang added a new meal Lunch at Wooga at Wooga
A specialist at aging Hanwoo beef. Lunch can be a simple affair with their bibimbap, where the big ball of beef tartare is torched on the outside before mixing into the rice and the vegetables.
Seoul-style bulgogi - where it's cooked with mushrooms and noodles in broth - is also a good option. Save some of the beef for the ciabatta.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Better service the second time at Jungsik
A second visit after almost 7 years. Service was better this time around, even though neither chef was in the kitchen. I don't have enough baseline knowledge on classic Korean cuisine, but the food was certainly tasty.
For the second time, I see that they've overcooked their Hanwoo and wasted a fine ingredient. A warning to anyone who wishes to... More

For the second time, I see that they've overcooked their Hanwoo and wasted a fine ingredient. A warning to anyone who wishes to order that in the future!

- Peter Chang added a new meal Dinner with natural wines at An Di at An Di
Creative and interesting modern Vietnamese fare, served with pairing of natural wines. Few of the dishes are standard fare, and in that sense opens one's eyes to the possibilities.

This place is known for their tarte flambée / flammelkueche, and we tried 3 different toppings. Nicely done.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Lunch at La Grappe d'Or at La Grappe d'Or
Famous place that even Jean Trimbach is familiar with.
Portions are Alsatian-sized as expected, and the braised jambonneau was damn big... with lots of roasted potatoes on the side.
