👋 Shafaq here! With temperatures dipping into the 40s and 50s starting this weekend, now's an ideal time to try some Korean soup.
Dig in: Jang Guem, in Sterling Plaza in Asiatown, offers traditional Korean dishes, including tofu stews, barbecue and bulgogi.
What to order: I tried the mushroom tofu soup ($14). It arrived bubbling hot, perfect to cook the raw egg given on the side. A large platter of banchan came alongside it, including kimchi, potatoes and more.
The broth was thoughtfully seasoned. Each spoonful had a mix of silky tofu, chewy umami mushrooms, vegetables, rice and soup — plenty of enjoyable textures.
The vegetable pancake ($14) was good, too. I usually prefer mine a little crispier, but this one was generously stuffed.
