Feedback:

  • I tried a variety of stuff here and went twice and so far here' s a quick review.
  • The side dishes are OK, wish it was a bit more, but they are the usual Korean Side Dishes.  They also have that tasty small fried fish as a side, I think it goes with the Soon Tofu (since we only got on for ordering one combination).
  • Ordered the Grilled Atka Mackerel combination.  The Mackerel was good, and lightly salted so if you are looking for something very tasty then this is not what you want.  I do prefer the one in Cho Dang though because that one has caramelized onions and just tastier because of the sauce which it was marinaded in.
  • Soon Tofu - can't really differentiate but the combination is smaller like the one in BCD.  Seems like Cho Dang uses the regular size Soon Tofu bowl for ordering Soon Tofu or if it is part of a combination, so I guess Cho Dang is better bang for the buck.
  • Pollack Stew - ordered the single one (20$+), instead of Casserole (40+$). I like the Pollack as it's soft and it just falls off when you eat them but overall the stew is kinda OK.  It was also too bone-y so I wasn't enjoying my dinner as much.


I love this Fried Fish Side Dish, I wish they give more :)


Soon Tofu! Always Yummy!

Lake Elsinore Walker Canyon Live Camera

By JC -
It's been really hard finding the live camera for Walker Canyon at Lake Elsinore so that I can check out if there is super bloom. Alas, they have one this year (2023) but the city decides to close it for safety reasons. I guess you can just see it from the Live Camera :( http://63.42.216.178:8088/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

Transportation: Use Oyster Card Traveling by Tube/Tram/Buses Visitor Oyster Card Make sure you use the oyster card  or visit oyster card, there is a deposit of 5 pounds, but you can refund that later on.  The good thing is that it caps daily, weekly , and monthly  . Apparently, oyster card does not cap weekly - you have to explicitly  purchase a 7 day travel card for the oyster.  One day is around 8 pounds and 7 days is around 32 pounds plus 5 pounds deposit for the card, which you can refund later. Otherwise, top it up for 7 days or monthly. You can buy it in convenience stores/shops and the tube stations. You can get a visitor oyster card, see here for details Traveling by Train This really depends but you can get an annual gold card to get discount on train tickets, otherwise, you can also get the weekly or monthly pass.
