We arrived early evening in Boston on Tuesday June 19th. Thane was kind enough to pick us up at the airport after work. It was but a short ride to his place in Cambridge, just across the Charles River from the charming city of Boston.
View from his car...
Thane's place - We're on the third floor. His street is a cul de sac, just a few steps away from a T station, a Whole Foods Market and...
this place,
Koreana...where we had our dinner that night. If you click on the link, our table was on the far left, just one table shy of the corner. That's a back shot of our very good friend, Thane of the Universe.
According to Thane, the restaurant was recently remodeled. He swore he took us there last time, but it turned out it was Shilla, a Korean restaurant in the Harvard area. The interior was very elegant, clean lined with inconspicuous gas grills on the tables. I didn't notice them at first as they seemed rather small and seemed to blend in with the tables.
We got our usual - beef
bulgogi &
jumullook (spelled as 'jumulrook' at Buga) along with an order of
chapchae noodles.
The panchan (counterclockwise from the top): beansprouts, rice wrappers, lightly dressed lettuce leaves, sweet potatoes, kimchee, seaweed salad & shredded green onions with red cabbage. I liked the sweet potatoes the best!
Chapchae noodles - of which there wasn't nearly enough noodles as I would have liked!
We were so hungry, we got another order of bulgogi & jumullook.
The restaurant served their lettuce leaves in a basket. Nice touch! There were two dipping sauces for the jumullook along with sliced peppers and raw garlic.
Round two:
To end the meal, their sweet cinammon tea with a floating pine nut. Much sweeter than Buga's version.
Ack! Blurry photo!
It was a nice evening - not too warm or cold. Plus it was handy having Thane's place nearby. We were thankful to him for letting us crash at his place. By the way, his toilet has an added on "water cleansing" feature, which I didn't really use, but Bert utilized. Bert's sister has an actual bidet (which is separate from her actual toilet) and the water bubbles up your butt and you can control the volume of water as well as the temperature. With Thane's, it shoots a stream of water in your nether regions and the water is kind of cold.

Hey CC,
I have not had breakfast yet, and after reading your post, I am starving. I love sweet potatoes too, and those looked really tasty. I bet they disappeared in a hurry. Great photographs.
Very nice, Canine!
