hodo kwaja
I read about these Walnut Cakes on chowhound, but I never got a chance to actually taste it. Even when I had class downtown, I was always too lazy to go or just never had the time to make my way there. Since Yoko and I were already in Korean-town, we decided to make our way over to try them. We bought 6.. I think it was 6 for a 1 or 1.5$. There were three flavours.. red bean paste, mashed potato & walnut and mashed potato & almond. The lady threw all them in one bag. It was very hard to distingush which was which. I think red bean was my favourite.

I have actually been to Joons last year with some of the HK crew.. but I didn't eat much because it was 3h. This time, I went with Yoko and we were starving. We decided on the bibimlap and this other soup dish... I think it was a stew. Yoko chose it and it was really good! I would have never tried it... we asked them to tone down the spicy nice and it was perfect. The tofu and the spicyness complimented each other.
