Just a couple of things.....
Sam is now at Wal-Mi-Do:
With jet lag, the time change, work, and surprise visitors, I just haven't been able to keep up! So thanks to Theresa, Hao, Kim, TammyC, and JKP, for keeping letting me know that Sam is now at Wal Mi Do.
Since closing Sammy Sushi, I know people have been wondering what Sam would be up to. I managed to finally return Sam's phone calls, and decided to drop by for a quick lunch. Sam does look well rested.
Sam told me that after 2 weeks of "hibernation" he was going stir crazy...so much for taking that long break.
Since this is a Korean styled, "Hwe" (raw fish) restaurant, I thought I'd try the Hwe Dop Bop lunch special ($10.99):
Nice portion size...fish is better quality than other Hwe shops. The Cho Jang, was more on the "beany" side, and less sweet than other places. The lunch came with some panchan, and was overall a pretty good deal. I think 2 persons could acutally split this.
Sam assures me that the fish he works with is of the same quality as Sammy's. He currently works lunch (1130 - 2pm) Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and dinner every night except Tuesday. He also said he had a surprise for my next visit.......so when things settle down.....
Wal Mi Do

Shabu Shabu House:
While driving on Convoy, I noticed this sign:
Right next to Tapioca Express and Crab Hut.
The sign says it'll open on November 12th, that's right around the corner.
Just in time for colder weather......
That's it for now....I hope you're having a great weekend!
Great that Sammy's visible again. And I do love hwe dup bop.
Been loving your Thai and Lao post too.

Hi FH - Think of it as a Korean Sushi type restaurant.
