Dinner with an Old Friend

My friend Evan called me up the other day and asked if we could get together and catch up. I haven't seen Evan in about a month so I was glad that he called. I've know Evan since freshmen year in undergrad so we've got lots of history together. He wanted to go get some Korean tofu bowls, which is one of my favorite foods! We met up at Convoy Tofu House, which Evan said is better than the Tofu House down the street (also on Convoy). I trust him because he's Korean so he knows his Korean food.

He ordered a seafood pancake for us as an appetizer, which I have never tried before. He said his mom used to make a vegetable version of the same thing, and he's been craving it. It was delicious!!

One of the things I love about Korean tofu houses is that they bring you these little dishes to go with your meal. These dishes mainly consists of various pickled vegetables (including kimchi, my favorite!). 

We both ordered the seafood tofu bowls with regular spiciness. It comes with oysters, shrimp, fish, and tofu in a delicious broth. They also give you a raw egg that you can crack over the top! The tofu bowls are boiling hot when you first get it so the egg cooks right away!

You can select different types of tofu bowls. There are ones with kimchi, dumplings, mushrooms, or extra tofu! They give you a bowl of rice with your tofu bowl. 

Tofu bowls is definitely one of my favorite comfort foods. Have you ever tried Korean tofu bowls? What's your favorite type?
