Green onion seafood pancake
THE BEST HAEMUL PAJEON EVERRRRRRR!!
You know. .. I really hate it when products say it has seafood but it only contains like litle crumbs of seafood mash. .. lol I want the real bouncy pieces of squid, the subtle crunch of shrimp OR if it's frozen, I still want the chewiness of the shrimp etc. You know what I mean?
This green onion seafood pancake is by far the best seafood-containing frozen pancake or dumpling or anything of similar nature that I've eaten.
2 cooking methods: air fryer & pan. I chose the latter. Although we've had an air fryer for some time, I'm still not very knowledgeable with the heat & temperature settings. Pan-fry is the safe choice.
Smells seafood-y, which was a great sign! :D
YUMMMM~
I really liked this one. Good amount of seafood & green onion. I think it's my pan but the edges were very crispy. Taste was good! I would have wanted the pancakes to be a bit thicker but maybe that's why they crisped up so nicely - bcos they were thinner. Would purchase again :D

Sis is making Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) for our dinner so mum can takes a rest. Beside the main ingredients of batter and diced cabbages, there are also cubes of shiitake mushrooms and cooked octopus. Once done, drizzle it with okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise then cover it in bonito flakes and shredded seaweeds. The octopus cubes gave this Japanese cabbage pancake an added chewy texture while the bonito and seaweed added umaminess. The two sauces harmonize everything together with their savouriness and creaminess.

dinner @ Il Poom
Cozy dinner last month with Susan - at a (likely family-run) Korean restaurant in the south side called Il Poom.
Here, I'll give you a preview of our meal:
It has been a while since I've gone out for Korean food :') I really don't dine out much these days, which is why there has been a major shift in my posted content, esp since the pandemic. But more so now, 'post-'pandemic times, things just cost so much more! But anyway, once in a while is okay haha & I LOVE Korean food so I'd wanna try every new Korean restaurant that opens in Edm.
I believe they've been open since the last quarter of 2023. Correct me if I'm wrong! I've only heard about them/seen their posts on socials in January. Located in a small strip mall, I had high expectations!
The entrance had this chalkboard sign. .. "Dumplimg" soup haha
Got a table that was right in front of their semi-open kitchen. Definitely a diff kind of view at Korean restaurants here in Edm. However, this is a suual sight for casual family-style restaurants in Korea. So I actually enjoyed this =]
Not a lot of business fr a Friday evening but I didn't mind at all. There were a few other tables of customers that shared the space during the time we were there. Everyone was speaking Korean haha honestly, I felt like I was 'brought back' to Korea.
Now let's take a look at their menu.
Me being me, I had already browsed several times before arriving here but there were items that were no longer available.
A good selection of menu items. Korean restaurant menus aren't very extensive that usually cover a few categories. This place was no exception.
You're sure to find something for everybody.
Their drinks. We wanted to try the Mae Hwa Su but they sold out. The lady recommended the Bokbunja instead (the black raspberry wine).
Bokbunja with banchans: potato salad, radish kimchi, cabbage kimchi & stir-fried soy sauce fish cakes.
Their kimchi was so good! It's not very fermented so it's not sour. It was more savoury than spicy or sweet. Reminded me of the kimchis I had in Busan, where their kimchis were more salty.
As for the wine, I liked it! It was very sweet!
Doganitang: ox knee soup.
I've never had ox knee before.. . Personally, I am not a fan of tendon, cartilage. .. that kind of stuff. The texture is unattractive to me. Ox knee though. .. it's not a common item on menus here in Edm so Susan & I decided to give it a try. Broth was a creamy off-white colour & comes with a side of noodles. (1 small bowl of noodles with the soup; not per person at the table)
To my surprise, I did not think there would be too many pieces of whatever ox knee looks like in the soup lol there were about 8-10 pieces. I had 3 pieces - & you know what, it was tolerable! I wouldn't have gone for a 2nd & a 3rd piece if I didn't like it. Texture was soft; wasn't gooey, wasn't crunchy. It means they've boiled the heck out of it. The broth was quite bland though; however, that's what these broths are like. You have to add your own seasonings. I like the radish kimchi :P
Next up was the yookgaejang, spicy beef brisket soup. Guess what, it had intestines in it o_O I've never had yookgaejang with meat pieces other than beef brisket lol it was diff. Not only that, it also contained scant amounts of tripe. Although I didn't mind the extra stuff (I don't eat intestine but had 2 pieces bcos again, I thought it was okay), I do prefer the 'original' version of yookgaejang. I just want the beef brisket! Flavour & everything else was good though!
Last item: seafood pancake. YUMMMM! The size was large; plenty of seafood; exterior was crispy. .. delicious!
Would 100% go back!
