Korean mood. The other evening I met Sachiko for a homey Korean meal at My Tofu House on Geary in San Francisco. Simple comfort food, it's a wonderful place to enjoy with good friends, but there is often a line outside, as I'm not the only one with this opinion. First we are brought complimentary tea in plastic glasses. The heat belies the type of glass it is in, but it is smooth and tasty. I think it is barley tea, or perhaps corn tea. After we order, a group of accompaniments to the meal arrive. Crisp seasoned cucumber, grilled whitefish, spicy white radish, small oily fish (great for calcium!), kim chee and raw eggs arrive. ...

I really do consider this place MY tofu house. I probably pick up food here once a week, and it always includes a big vat of kim chee chigae with pork or beef. The people who answer the phone sometimes don't speak much English, and we are always the only non-Koreans in the place. That's a good sign. I really have no idea how good their soft tofu is, because I only get it from them.

Man, this week was freaking cold. My icebox, excuse me, my Edwardian apartment was chilling me to the marrow. I can’t believe I actually had to go to bed with socks on. Wooly ones. I could do double duty and turn this place into a meat locker, seriously. “Oh, hey, mister cable man. Yeah, just move that side of beef aside and you’ll find the cable box. See, right there. Yeah, sorry about the smell.”

Rarely do I fall so madly in love with a place that after just one visit I add it to my "Short List" of favorite eateries in the Bay Area {see the right hand column}. But that is exactly what happened when I dined at My Tofu House {website is in Korean, click here for English} this past week.
