Korean Walnut Cake Love.


I was recently introduced to Korean walnut cake. Just west of me is Korea Town, and since moving to my new apartment, Korea Town and I have really hit it off. We are still in our honeymoon faze, I know, but really it's like they took all the great things about China Town and left out the horrible overcrowding, terrible smell, rotting produce and questionable animals hanging in the window.

I love lists so here we go:
1. Walnut cake - these things are delicious! you get 6 for $1.50 at Hodo Kwaja. I'm pretty you can only find this place by looking in the window because no signs in Korea Town are in english.
2. No english? Authentic stuff? Maybe.. but more importantly everywhere has pictures! And really who rather read and speak then look and point.
3. Karaoke bars - there are two that I know of in Korean Town and I haven't been to one yet but I can't effing wait!
4. Cheap quality produce from independent grocers. With tofu! These little places make China Town look like a cheap hooker.
