Out & About #427 | Collective February Visuals

2/27/2018

 
​Most of those with cable have been keeping with Pyeongchang. While my household does tend to fall under that category, I frankly haven't been able to allocate much time to anything other than work and prearranged hangouts - oh and of course, this space right here.

As always, here are my snapshots of these past twenty-something days.
1) Lemon Meringue Cups constructed from leftover Lemon Curd and crushed chocolate wafer cookies
2) Smartphone stand delivery from Miniso

​3) Revisiting The Wilcox after a full day of baking with ochungg
The Yellowfin Tuna Salad was a horrendous mountain of cabbage slaw served with a greasy pool of sriracha-boosted oil. On the contrary, the Nagano Pork Chop was flavourful and smoky, while the apple brandy sauce lent subtle sweetness.

​4) Arirang Radio sent me a participation prize?

5) Lunch consisting of leftover Beef Brisket Noodles from Richmond Court
6) Pumpkin Chai tea pairs extraordinarily well with flaky Portuguese Tarts from Brioche Dorée

​7) Behold the Minion Lemon Cheesecake! - the second Minion-themed dish to find its way onto this space.
​8) Popping by this year's LunarFest at the Living Arts Centre
9) Scrumptious Korean fried chicken from Mr. Chimaek

​12) Overly ripe mangoes prompted the swift and suddent creation of Mango Crème Brûlée cups

13) Myungdong Kalguksu

A wholly unfamiliar restaurant in dimly-lit plaza just south of Dundas and Hurontario was chosen as a last-minute dinner destination. Parking was ample, though the entrance was a tad tricky to find at first given the dark roads and overall chaos of the intersection.

​Teenager played as we walked through the doors, causing an excited squeal to escape. As we were seated in a booth that suffered mild amounts of neglect, other popular tracks such as Don't Wanna Cry, Black Dress, and You Are continued to play in the background.

​Shabu shabu dishes were sizable portions that far overwhelmed the stomach capacities of two people, so we turned to noodle dishes instead. The seasonal MD Soybean Noodle was unavailable at this time, consequently leading to picks of the MD Dumpling Soup and MD Bulgogi Set Meal.

​The MD Dumpling Soup was devoid of noodles and instead contained a heaping handful of thinly-sliced Korean rice cakes. Strips of egg crepe, seaweed, ground beef, carrot slices, and three large round dumplings made up the remainder of the pot. The broth was translucent with an adequate amount of brininess; the effects of monosodium glatamate did not surface until later in the evening.

While priced only three dollars higher, the MD Bulgogi Set Meal arrived with a medium-sized pot of high-saline kimchi, platter of bulgogi and rice, and decent portion of kalguku in soup.
The bulgogi was well-seasoned and tender, and the thick noodles were chewy without exhibiting excessive firmness. The only aspect that fell short of expectations was the watery foundation of a soup broth.

​Service was friendly and prompt, but then again, the restaurant was largely empty at our time of visit.
Individual bathroom stalls were located towards the back of the restaurant, past the kitchen; the area was clean, fairly spacious, and equipped with the necessary toiletries.

​The journey to Myungdong Kalguksu wasn't a particularly memorable one, though it was interesting to discover that Korean restaurants specializing in the traditional noodle dish were present in Mississauga's Koreatown neighbourhood.

​See you in March!
