Seoul in a day
Hi fellow hounds,
Wondering if there's any recommendation for traditional Korean in Seoul. We'll be flying into Seoul in the afternoon and will be departing the next morning for the YongPyong for a few days. Just wondering if there's any recommendations for some Korean BBQ without breaking the bank. We will be staying in the YEONGDEUNGPO Marriott. Any suggestions for Seoul or YongPyong will be greatly appreciated.
Thank!!!
good, reasonably priced pizza in HK?
I've been in HK for a few weeks now, and I've been craving some pizza, but all I've been seeing around town is Pizza Huts and Spaghetti Houses. I need some real pizza, a perfectly crusted margherita, mmm.... Do they have any authentic pizzeria here, preferably Neapolitan? Man, I'm getting hungry again.
Thanks in advance.
good asian in denver?
As far as Asian goes, Federal in Lakewood is the place to go. I'm from Hong Kong myself, so I'll just focus on Chinese food. Kings land is not a place for good Chinese food, everything is smothered in grease. Superstar has some awesome dim sum. Chopsticks has really good authentic sezhuan dinners. and Lau Wang's Noodle shop is great for their Siu long bau (soup dumpling) and great Shanghai noodles!! tasty!!!!
Lack of Denver Chowhound postings
It is very much around, and I'm sure it was good back then, but unless you want to dump your kid there to play with the animals, I wouldn't go there for fried chicken. The chicken meat has no flavor, although you do get a lot for your money, I still can't see it as justifiable. I would recommend Steuben's in downtown, I wouldn't say it's the greatest, but it's much better than WFF.
trying to become a green chile convert, denver
I've been living in Denver for about 2 years now, and is still trying to find a green chili that can match what I had in Pueblo, CO. There is no place better in my mind than the Pantry restaurant in downtown Pueblo. Their Chili is made from home grown Pueblo chiles, with large chunks of pork scattered all around. The best way to have it is to have it smothered over a breakfast burrito. Better yet, just order a bowl of green chili and some tortillas on the side. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
I-25 Denver to Albuquerque
When you get down to Pueblo, check out the Pantry across from the downtown library for a late breakfast or lunch, their green chili is to die for, try their smothered breakfast burrito or huevos rancheros!! Also give Papa Jose's or Jorge's (known for their killer margarita) for dinner before you head back up to Denver.
Breakfast Near Burlington CO/ Lunch Near Salida CO?
I'll have to agree with you louella, I used to snowboard at monarch, and after a hard day, we head straight to amica in our snowgear. I usually order a pizza for myself, and the happy hour beer takes care of my long day of pain. To be honest, Amica's the only place I know in Salida. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Top 5 $100 per person restaurants in vegas?(drinks not included)
Although the main items at Bouchon isn't that expensive, the $100 mark could be achieved by treating yourself to a plate of fromage or the foie gras. Bouchon is a bistro by the one and only Thomas Keller (James Beard Foundation award winner... need I say more?), who also owns the French Laundry in Yountville, California. It's in the Venetian, check out its website, maybe it will spike your interest. http://www.bouchonbistro.com/
Denver- 4 quick reviews
Thanks for the reviews ebone, I've been wanting to try snooze for a while now ( a little way from where we live, and we're late sleepers). I think that this review is just the excuse I need. We've been debating at work over the pizza. Some of my co-worker swears by the oven, while some of us prefer Virgilio's. I was wondering if you've had a chance to try Virgilio's and what was the preference?
Tapas- small plates- DENVER- Help!!
I'm surprised that after all the replies, that no one mentioned Izakaya Den on Pearl St. It's across the street from Sushi Den. Being Chinese myself, I'm not a big fan of Asian fusion cuisine. That changed after my first visit there few months ago, I was brainwashed by the beautiful decor, presentation, and the flavors of all those dishes. The one lesson I did learn though, and I'm sure it goes for all tapa restaurant, is not to go when you're very hungry, that sucker of a bill really stacks up, fast!!!
Hong Kong Pho
Hmm, I don't think that pho would be something you'd want to have in HK, they are not that popular in HK for some reason. But come on, when you're in HK, try a bowl of real won ton, fish ball, or beef brisket noodle, many of them well under $5. There are thousands of these noodle shops around town, I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed. As for fast food, you'll be in heaven, besides the MickyDs, and KFCs, there's cafe de corel and many other fast food places scattered around the city.
When it comes to a piece of USDA prime steak... why!? you live in the states, why would you want to travel halfway around the world for a piece of marked up domestic beef? I'd recommend a good real piece wagyu or kobe beef, keep in mind, they're not cheap, US$100+ but it's a feast!! depending on where you're staying, the concierge should be able to show you the way! check out eatdrinkhongkong.com for some places near you. have fun there!
