CHOE BROTHERS

This past February, I went to San Diego for conference. However, instead of being professional, I hung out with the animals at the San Diego Zoo and Sea World… yes, it was sooooo fun.

Anyways, here’s several video clips I took of animals doing some funny shit.

San Diego was AWESOME! Weather was great! Girls were Hot! and… Girls were Hot! ;)

So, I’m back in Seattle, but I miss something… sure, there is my family, but, also the best ChongKak Kimchi (baby radish Kimchi) in the Northeast!

The brand name is the New York Kimchi Miraculous Taste of the Far East – New York Yun San Gyun (Organic) Kim Chi. phew… that is mouthful.

We usually buy them at local H-mart, but I’m sure you could find it in any Korean market. There is something tasty and refreshing about this organic kimchi. Anyways, check it out yo! Seriously this radish kimchi is divine.

I met up with my Taiwanese homies in Boston. They recommended Hei La Moon for Dim Sum. I lived in Boston before, and I love to eat dim sum but I never had the chance to try this place.

My friends kept ordering dishes after another, and, man! ALL of them were freakin’ awesome! Hei La Moon is officially my favorite Dim Sum in Boston!

Today was a fun day. Met up with old high school friends in NYC, and drank… drank… and… well, a bit more drinking. We jumped in between couple Izakayas, and we ended up at Kenka.

and… woah! what do we see on the menu?

Of course, we had to try it. So, this is how it looked like…

Yes, it looks like a dick. duh! I believe it was boiled in hot water, and served with hot mustard on the side. We passed the dish around and took a bite… It tasted liked a massive collagen or cartilage that looks like a genital.

Our conversation never took off after that, and the night ended silently. Something died in all of us… haha, jk! It was a night to remember!

Long Provincial Vietnamese Restaurant was freakin’ awesome. My friend has been telling about this place for a LONG time (yes, that was joke), and we finally went there last week. There were the typical Vietnamese dishes, but lots of them had an unique and modern twist to it. My favorite was the Cognac scallop pomelo salad, and its described as the following:

Cognac scallop pomelo salad
Pan fried Hennessy Cognac marinated Pacific scallops, freshly pickled jicama, carrot, red onion, browned onion, roasted peanuts, fresh herbs, and hand peeled pomelo severed with tamarind fish sauce.

Fucken bomb. Scallop was perfectly cooked, jicama and the carrot was fresh, and the tamarind fish sauce wrapped it all with its sweetness and unique Asian flava.

Good Food, decent price. Go impress your significant other at LONG.

So, I’m in NYC on my way to meet my bro. I had an hour to spare, so I decided to explore the city… and I ran into a huge Hello Kitty statue. What the heck? This statue is located in the Lever House court, and was created by Tom Sach. He didn’t get permission from Sanrio to build it and according to New York Magazine Sach said “I think it’s better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.”

New York is known for their Pizza, and it is definitely one of the best in the nation. But! Move aside New York! because New Jersey Pizza is in town! Donna’s Pizza, located on 404 Broad Ave Palisades Park, NJ, is THE BEST PIZZA in our mind. New York Truckers would drive out here just to get a bite of this tasty pizza!!!
