Sobban Sequel

I admit it. I can't get enough of this place. I have eaten almost everything on here... Just a couple more items then I should be good for awhile. Let's take a look at what went inside the pouch of the abyss.

Smoked Pork Belly Bossam. Seasonal green wraps, crispy rice, pecan ssam sauce. C'mon, it's friggin Heirloom pork belly. So good.

Our Tofu and Pickles. House made tofu were very nice and combined with the accoutrements made it a very tasty tofu dish. The pickled root vegs and kimchi were good as well.

Chicken Kalguksu, Kimchi, Korean Fried Chicken 1st Run, 50 Se Ju. Chicken noodle soup was total comfort food, this would be great to nurse a hangover or drink a shitload before hand and then eat it to prevent a hangover. The first batch of KFC on the first night was off. The 2nd frying was way too hot and turned the crust into a hard shell. It wasn't bad but it wasn't KFC either. C'mon, people get your act together on the first night! What do you mean you're doing your best on the first night? I want perfection and I want it now.

Korean Fried Chicken. Sweet chili ginger sauce, our pickle. The second coming... This time the KFC was spot on. Crispy, juicy, sweet and spicy on the finish. They did a good job on this version.

Our Tofu. Kimchi, apple, miso mousse, soy ginger reduction. This tofu dish was so good I had to get it again.

Nori Corndog. Hot mustard, spicy bibimbop sauce. I had 2 different version of this on the same visit. This is the first one made with tempura and it was tasty... Especially, the house made 10 inch schlong encased inside it's love glove. There's a lot of flavors going on in that tube steak. The second version was made with panko and it was just a tad better than the first. You're prolly asking, how the fuck can you eat that much, pouch? Never underestimate the powers of the pouch.

Spicy Rice Cake. Squid, pork scraps, sesame leaves. Most whities never heard or had rice cakes. I don't eat a lot of this stuff myself but the combination on this dish is a real winner. A little spicy, too... To tickle your taint.

Tempura Green Beans and Shitake. The price to quantity ratio for this app is ridic. The amount of fried crispy goodness is more than enough to share with 3 half mans. Good stuff and addictive.

College Ramyeon. Leftover greens, 7 minute egg, Heirloom pork belly. No one in their right mind would pay $9 for crappy instant ramen noodles... But when this beast is put in front of your snout, it will be all worth it and more. No amount of MSG soup base packets can make your instant ramen look like this.

Poppingsu. Chocolate Tofu Ice Cream, berries, mochi like substances. I love how Cody is the Chef de Bingsu. Surprisingly, this choco tofu ice cream was pretty good.

The Heirloom crew has hit another home run with this new ethnic venture intown. Now, I'm going home and cry myself to sleep... Because I'm so obeast.
