Mountain Cafe Will Warm You Up (And Cure Whatever Ails You)
The New York City me would punch the Los Angeles me in the face for saying this, but damn it has been cold lately, right? It almost makes me want to stop wearing short sleeve t-shirts and flip flops. Almost. Yesterday morning seemed particularly chilly, although I don’t have any empirical evidence of this since I don’t really check the weather report that much (in contrast to when I lived in NYC, where checking the weather is a required morning ritual in the wintertime.) I also felt a bit of a sore throat coming on, so that could only mean one thing… soup day!
The last time I was sick, Ramenya proved to be an inspired choice. Pa Ord is where you want to go if you have a stuffy nose that needs clearing up. And I’ve always thought kal gook soo from Myung Dong Kyoja would be the perfect replacement for penicillin. But now that I’ve been to Mountain Cafe (or San as it’s called in Korean) I think I have found a replacement for my Grandma’s matzoh ball soup. (Sorry grandma!)
