Speaking of food, I praise whatever God or chance brought Korean restaurants to the Pioneer Valley. I just finished a squid dish so spicy that I was weeping openly and scarfing down kim chee to ease the burn.
I have a hole in my soul. I've tried but it won't be filled by truth, by being right, by being noticed, by being successful at what I do, by being loved, or by sugar; I haven't had the opportunity but I don't imagine it'd be filled by money or fame either.
There's just a chance, though, just a chance that it'd be filled by enough capsaicin.
Must be the endorphins talking.

Nope, just the new little countertop one in Greenfield. The squid was tough but ooooooh yeah the sauce was good.

omg...the wife would be sooo jealous! The nearest one to us is 2 hours away in Houston (Sam Bo Jung Restaurant) and i looove that place. If you haven't tried them, my favorite dishes are:bulgogi - thinly sliced marinated beef that is out of this world.galbi - charcoal grilled beef short-ribs, cut vertically so you have a long strip of meat with lil round bones. also marinated like bulgogi...best flavor EVER.
and seriously...is there anything better than a big clay pot of steaming Udon? thinking NO...heh.

(damn i'm hungry now..)

Yeah...
I've had bulgogi. I'll try galbi next time I go to Korean Restaurant in Hadley, they're the best.
I can't possibly be hungry again already. But still, I'm hungry in the mouth!

Funny, I like spicy food, I like asian food. I don't like Korean food. But, aside from the obvious other spicy asian foods everyone knows about, I can highly recommend Laotian food as THE spiciest food I've ever had(that doesn't involve, say, utilizing hot sauces banned in 8 states).

Oh, man. Now I have to go eat food. Now.

Laotian food! I've never had any. Whatever god or chance brought Korean restaurants here hasn't even managed Vietnamese, let alone Laotian. There used to be a Cambodian restaurant, back when I first was a college student here, but it closed after I'd eaten there only once or twice.
Vietnamese is my favorite. Not so spicy of course, but so so good. There are a couple of Vietnamese restaurants down here in Springfield where I work, but I'm never just like cruising around down here looking for food, and they're far out of my way for home-bound takeout. It's a tragedy. So near, so far.

Oh! Cambodian! God, I used to eat that almost everyday when I was in Seattle. There was a place just across the street from my apartment that had the bombest beef noodle stew... unlike pho, you get big chunks of beef and wide noodles. Good stuff.
