It was a cold winter day where I sent A to Jiyugaoka for her English classes. It was a very rare occasion where C was napping and Mr. Yim agreed to "look after" her while I took A to her classes.
Well, for those who know me, I will never miss any opportunity to eat "ALONE" where I can freely use my BOTH HANDS to hold on to the bowl and the chopsticks!
Further, I must find something hot and spicy because the girls are absent!
I wondered around and found this new building in Jiyugaoka. "Luz Jiyugaoka (Luz 自由が丘)", in the same building, you can find Shutters, Celeb de Tomato, etc....
I chose Tokyo Sundub (東京純豆腐) for the obvious reason! I love Korean hot and spicy food!!!
I already knew there would only be one item in the menu, Sundub (a.k.a. Soontobu). Soontobu is a hot and spicy tofu soup cooked in a clay pot originated in Korea but got evolved over a period of time by the American Koreans. It is a hype in LA and NY where you can choose your own "toppings" to be added into the hot tofu pot.
I chose 潤健美スンドゥブ (Junkenbi Sundub）, because it has a cube of collagen added in it! Beauty, beauty, beauty.... we eat to maintain our beauty!!!
On the whole, it wasn't bad. The soup was full of flavors, tofu was silky enough and with the extra dab of collagen, I was hoping my skin would shine after coming out of the restaurant. Sadly it didn't!
However, I heard there is a REAL authentic Soontobu shop in 奥沢 (Okuzawa). It is called Kochoo Soontobu (コチュ スンドゥブ）. I am hungry now! I need to WAIT for another opportunity to eat alone.
